    God of New Beginnings
    Mar 13 2025
    Pastor Beck's "New Beginnings" challenges the notion of God having a "permissive will" alongside a "perfect will," arguing instead that God uses even our mistakes as opportunities for new beginnings and deeper understanding of His grace. The text posits that the core of sin is self-sufficiency, contrasting it with God's design for human dependence on Him. Through biblical examples like Abraham, Moses, David, Peter, and Mark, the author illustrates how God redeems failures and uses them to shape individuals' destinies and ministries. The sermon emphasizes God's unconditional love, which is revealed even in our weaknesses, and the transformative power of bringing our failures into His light. Ultimately, the text offers a message of hope, asserting that God consistently provides new beginnings built upon our past experiences, both good and bad. It encourages believers to embrace God's forgiveness and allow Him to turn their mistakes into future strength and joy.
