The Comeback Bible Study Guide: It's Not Too Late and You're Never Too Far [9780310887386]

Overview

Feeling like you've blown it? Reached the point of no return? That your life hasn't gone as planned? If so, you are not alone. We all know what it feels like to have life disappoint us and not work out as we'd hoped. We all know what it's like to long for something different, something better, and something more...

This six-session video study (DVD/digital video sold separately) shows us how God can use our messes and still make a masterpiece.

Drawing on his own experiences and pivotal Bible stories, Louie Giglio, pastor and author of Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table, shows how God is all about comebacks.

Samson had blown it repeatedly; nevertheless, he experiences tremendous triumph at the end of his life. The prodigal son, as Jesus describes him, returns home in disgrace only to be welcomed by his father with open arms. The list goes on: Joseph, Moses, and Peter all experienced comebacks. Jesus himself performed the greatest comeback of all by rising from the dead.

God is in the business of giving fresh starts, and His plans will always prevail, even when our plans don't. For the times when we feel like our lives are in the garbage, and it's hard to see God's plan, this study guide will help you see:

• How God uses our circumstances to strengthen us and fulfill his good plan.
• How to respond in spirit when our dreams are dashed.
• How Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and ascension is not only enough to save us but also to sustain us.

No matter what kind of disappointment or grief or pain or trouble or heartache we encounter, God always offers a new beginning, a change of heart, and a powerful spiritual turnaround. Our current circumstances do not get the final say in our lives. God does.
