Not DISQUALIFIED: How Jesus RESTORES You After Sin // Death, Defeated (Part 4) // Pastor Drew
from Collective Church Omaha · host Collective Church
🔥 "God isn't like a referee waiting to throw a red card at your mistakes. He’s a Father who pursued Peter even after he messed up, and He’s pursuing you today. Your past doesn't disqualify you—it actually sets the stage for your greatest testimony." — Pastor Drew Have you ever felt like you’ve been "red-carded" by life? Maybe you feel like you’ve made one too many mistakes or that your past has officially disqualified you from the whole "church thing." In this message, Pastor Drew shares some funny (and slightly embarrassing) stories from the soccer sidelines to show us how we often view God as a strict referee rather than a loving Father. We’re diving into the story of Peter—a man who failed publicly but was restored personally by Jesus. If you feel like you're stuck in a cycle of guilt or just trying to "clean yourself up" before coming to God, this message is a reminder that Jesus meets us right in the middle of our mess. It’s time to stop hiding and start heading home. -------------------------------------------------------- 📖 Bible References John 21 : 1-19 – Jesus restores Peter by the Sea of Galilee. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/JHN.21.1-19.ESV Romans 5 : 8 – While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ROM.5.8.ESV Romans 6 : 1-14 – Dead to sin but alive in Christ. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ROM.6.1-14.ESV -------------------------------------------------------- Sermon Chapters 00:00 - The Yellow Card: Lessons from the Soccer Sidelines 06:12 - 1,993 Years Later: Breaking the "Referee" Image of God 10:53 - The Truth About Sin: Why We Feel Disqualified 14:50 - Digging Deep: Why You Should Read Romans 5-8 19:15 - Peter’s Story: From Public Failure to Public Restoration 27:45 - Do You Love Me?
