Chris Wall • John 21:20-25

Everybody experiences failure. And everybody experiences the fear of failure. The very fear of failing paralyzes people, becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. When you give in to the fear of failure, you usually fail. When you do it all your life, your life becomes filled with example after example of failure simply because you become afraid to even try. You cannot please God and live your life playing it safe. Peter’s decision to follow Jesus is big. This decision reveals how following Jesus shows us what it looks like to overcome failure.
