Have you ever experienced the devastation of a divorce, the loss of a child or had to file for bankruptcy? Have you ever lost a great paying job or failed to pass an important class in college? In his book, The Comeback, Louie Giglio writes:

We all share one thing in common. In all our lives there will be winds that blow. Headwinds of difficulty brought on by our own decisions and gale-force winds of adversity due to circumstances we never saw coming. Yet, God is in charge of the winds. His plans will always prevail even when our plans don’t.

Here is something we must all hold on to. God not only loves us, He is for us.

There are two types of setbacks:
1. Those you caused through your own choices and decisions
2. Those you didn’t have anything to do with

God is the Lord of every Comeback. Why? Because He not only loves us, He is for us.

Most of us would believe that God loves us but we have a difficult time believing He is for us. This is what happened to Adam and Eve. There were consequences for their sin but God never stopped loving them. He not only forgave them, He had a plan for their Comeback.

God has a plan for you to Comeback from your bad choices and terrible decisions.

It’s not too late and you’re never too far away from God for a COMEBACK! Everybody loves a comeback story.

I love the first words Jesus speaks to Peter. Peter, do you love me more than these? Notice Jesus didn’t say, “Why did you deny me? You saw me do all the miracles, you watched raise Lazarus from the dead, you said you loved me and when I needed you most, when I was going to my death, you didn’t stand with me.

Maybe you’ve thought what you’ve done is too big for Jesus to forgive but it isn’t. I’m not saying there won’t be consequences for what you’ve done but Jesus is waiting for you to COMEBACK to Him. He not only loves you, He’s for you!

It’s not too late and you’re never too far from God for a Comeback.

When you’re walking out of a setback it’s important to surround yourself with some Godly friends who will support you until you experience your comeback. That’s why I’m going to give you some time to join a “Comeback Group” this morning.

We want everyone to experience the COMEBACK God has planned for you.

Please remember: It’s not too late and you’re never too far away from God for a COMEBACK! I believe the next 6 weeks is going to change all of our lives for the better.
