Epic Fails

 

We human being major on epic fails. We fail in our inner and outer world. Sometimes we bring  these epic fails on ourselves and sometimes epic fails surprisingly find us. In this series, we will discover together that in God’s economy failure is neither final or fatal. God desires to meet us in our greatest failures.

July 11-12   External/Circumstantial fails

• Theme: Naomi’s life was a mess. A widow without children in her culture and time left her a cultural failure yet God rescues, redeems and even uses her.

July 18-19    Relational failures

• Theme: Paul and Barnabas were leaders of the movement of Jesus and they got into a huge disagreement about a young potential leader named John Mark. Little in life hurts as much a bitter relational failure.

July 25-26   Spiritual failure
