My Life is a Mess

1 Samuel 8-31

There is a special grief over a life not well lived. We love to celebrate the stories of those who have finished well, but when we encounter those whose lives bear the consequences of poor decisions and slow erosion, we sigh and wonder what could have been. And then, in quiet, private moments, we wonder how our lives will end. Will we finish well? Are we on a good track? Discover from the life of one of the Bible's greatest examples of failed potential just what it means to take God seriously.

1 Samuel 12:20-25
Wouldn't it be great if life came with a do-over button? How often have you found yourself making a mistake and wishing you could take back the words, undo your acti1ns, or erase the attitude that led to the whole mess? Even though we do not have an undo button for our life, God has given us great examples and truth as to what to do when we have made a mistake. Join us today as we peer into an incident where mistakes were made, but hope still reigned!
