You Will Mess Up

Guest Pastor Darin Weiss shared with us a personal story about a time he got angry with his son; how his actions brought about a conversation regarding us as sinners. How even after we're converted, we will still mess up; we're still in desperate need of God's grace.

Jesus came to die for the forgiveness of our sins. Everybody, pastors included, is in desperate need of God's forgiveness. That never changes. We're all going to find ourselves in situations where we mess up. We are all sinners by nature.

The freedom that comes from the Gospel is not just seeing Jesus as an example for how we ought to live; it's seeing that Jesus is our substitute. He died for us. Where we failed, He did not fail; we've been forgiven! God did for us what we could not do for ourselves. We don't have to live life, defined by our sins.
