Pastor George Sawyer explores the powerful theme of restoration through the life of Peter, one of Jesus' closest disciples. Despite Peter's failures, including his denial of Jesus, his story is a profound reminder that no mistake is beyond God's grace. Through key moments—from Peter’s first encounter with Jesus to his redemption and renewed calling—this message reveals how God's restoration not only heals our brokenness but also strengthens our faith.
Pastor Sawyer challenges us to trust God’s process, leave the past behind, and embrace the restored purpose Jesus offers. If you’ve ever felt like your failures define you, this message is for you—God’s not finished with you yet.
