Tested, Tried, and Restored (Luis Aran)

Even when we stumble, God’s grace restores and redeems. Luis Aran begins this message with Joseph, whose life reminds us that God can use us in spite of hardship and betrayal. It then turns to Peter — who denied Jesus three times, yet was restored when Jesus met him with grace and renewed calling. Through a close look at the Greek words for “love” in John 21, along with passages like Matthew 10, Luke 22, Isaiah 41, and John 16, we discover a powerful truth: our failures do not disqualify us from God’s purpose. Instead, He meets us where we are and calls us forward with hope and courage. From Sunday 10.05.25
