In this message, I want to address one of the biggest fears we face as human beings: the fear of failure. Surprisingly enough, there are pros and cons to failure. Sometimes, failure is a great teacher. But other times, failure creates unbelievable pain. Life is not pain free, at all. We know that. However, through the power of the Word of God, we can make sense of our pain; and yes, even make sense of our failure. So as we look at God’s Word today, we’re going to examine the lives of many prominent, biblical figures and look at how the dealt with failure. As we do, I would encourage you to take note of what stands out to you about their story and think about what you can learn about failure from each of their lives.
