Rooted in Psalms 136 and Lamentations 3, this message emphasizes that His mercies endure forever and are renewed each morning. No failure, mistake, or past decision is beyond the reach of God’s forgiveness and restoring power. The episode turns to the life of Peter, who denied Jesus repeatedly at the very moment Jesus faced betrayal, suffering, and the cross. Dr. Funches-Dunnom highlights the painful timing of Peter’s failure, showing that even abandonment in someone’s greatest hour of need did not disqualify him from God’s love. Through Peter’s story, listeners are encouraged to reject shame, condemnation, and the lie that they have gone too far for God to restore them. Beginning with Jesus at the Lord’s Supper, the teaching reveals His remarkable peace, gratitude, and love even as His hour of suffering approached. Jesus sat down, gave thanks, served His disciples, and instituted the new covenant in His blood—demonstrating complete trust in the Father amid unimaginable trial. His example invites believers to rest in God, give thanks in hardship, and trust that divine provision and breakthrough can come suddenly. This message is a powerful reminder that Jesus’ sacrifice was made before we ever knew our need, and His grace is greater than any failure. If you feel disqualified, ashamed, or convinced that God is finished with you, this episode points you back to the heart of the Father: He is still the God of second chances, ready to forgive, restore, and lead you forward. 00:00 Welcome to the Podcast 01:30 Opening Prayer 03:33 God of Second Chances 06:23 Examples of Grace 08:19 Choosing Who to Believe 10:51 Peter Denies Jesus 13:38 Lord's Supper Reading 14:59 Sit Down and Trust 21:52 New Covenant in Blood 23:24 Betrayal at the Table 25:48 Beholding Jesus Transforms 27:29 Closing Blessing and Outro The One Thing That's Needful http://faithcomesbyhearing.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/43392514/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/43392514
