Today on Summit Life with Judy Greer.

My friend, if the gospel has one agenda in your life,

it is to convince you that your performance is not the basis of your acceptance

before God.

And so God allows you to fail.

And he will sometimes remind you of your failures

so that you can see that it is his grace,

not your righteousness.

That is the basis of your acceptance. Welcome to Summit Life with Pastor JD Greer.

As always, I'm your host Molly Vittevich.

You know, doesn't life sometimes feel like an Olympic event?

Like there's a panel of judges sitting around and scoring us on everything we do. We constantly feel the need is evaluating us and is consistently disappointed.

But today, Pastor J.D. reveals that God actually uses our failures to make us more dependent on him.

And as a card-carrying member of the Failure Club, I am thankful for that. It's a conclusion of our teaching

series called Can't Believe, and if you missed any part of the study, you can catch up online at

J.D. Greer.com, but for now let's jump back into John Chapter 21.

Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the sea of Tiberius and he revealed himself in this way.

Verse 2, Simon Peter, Thomas called the twin, Nathaniel of Cana and Galilee, the sons of Zebadi,

and two other Arab its disciples were together.

By the way, how would you have liked to have been

those two other disciples right there?

This is your one chance to get your name in the Bible, right?
