The greatest sports show on earth is on our doorstep.
You’ve all been to the stadium and seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You’re after one that’s gold eternally. (1 Corinthians 9: 24 MSG)
Introducing Peter…
He ran the distance with Jesus and was known for some big successes. But he was also known for some huge failures. Sometimes, like Peter, our race doesn’t go to plan.
The brother of Jesus knew this when he said we all stumble in many ways… (James 3: 2)
So unless you never attempt anything, you will fail.
How do we overcome that crippling fear of failure that often means we don’t even make it to the starting line?
