3.1 Discussion. More than Overcomers

Getting Started

Now that you have described your version of the ultimate hero and determined your criteria for the ultimate purpose in life, what do you do when you fail on both accounts? To be sure, human heroes will fail. We will all fall short of our ultimate purpose. Yet by and through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can become more than “overcomers.” We can be victorious in this life and in the next. Because of God’s love for us and the power of forgiveness, mercy, and grace, we have won the race, accepted the trophy, and are now poised to lay our crowns at the feet of our Lord Jesus.

Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:

· Discuss a time when you failed and how you overcame that failure.

Background Information

Scripture tells us that “all have failed and have fallen short of the glory of God.” To be sure! Now, what do we do when we fail and fall short? What do we do when the enemy wants to stop us in our tracks, prevent us from continuing our journey, shame us into quiet solitude and surrender? How fast can we get back up and begin to run again? With what fortitude, grit, and resolve do we approach the race after we have fallen? It isn’t that we should never fail. It is that we should not remain in that failure. By the power of the cross, we are lifted up higher than before! God asks us for our failures—all of them. He asks us for our failures so he can create something beautiful from them. He is the God who raises the dead. He is the God who transforms trash into treasure and failure into victory. Try it. Give him your failures and see what he does in your life.
