Getting Unwrapped!

Yesterday, we began the sermon series "UNWRAPPED." It's all about getting honest with ourselves and with God about our true feelings from the circumstances we face in life. We looked at Unwrapping the Pain of Failure yesterday looking at Judas and Peter as our examples. Two men who failed and then took two different paths. One path lead to death and the other lead to learning and moving forward. I mentioned 4 points in overcoming failure. They were: Knowing that Jesus still loves you, Confessing and repenting of failures that need confessed and repented of, Forgiving yourself and letting it go, and Asking Jesus to restore the joy of your salvation. Be encouraged this week to examine yourself and be honest (get unwrapped) with God about what's in your heart. If you want to check out the Amazing Grace video, check it out here.

Next week we will look at Unwrapping the Pain of Adversity (the unexpected happenings in life). Invite a friend and come ready to get unwrapped!
