Fall Forward

This powerful message follows Peter’s fall and restoration, revealing a life-changing truth: we may not choose if we fall, but we can choose where we fall. Through Luke 22 and John 21, we see that Jesus didn’t pray Peter would never fail—He prayed that his faith would endure. Peter’s downfall began not in weakness, but in self-confidence, trusting his own strength more than God’s. Yet the message reminds us that resilience isn’t about avoiding storms; it’s about holding onto Jesus so tightly that when we fall, we fall toward Him. Like John Newton, who turned from a slave trader into the writer of “Amazing Grace,” we discover that God uses our failures not to destroy us, but to restore us and strengthen others through our story.
