When The Rooster Crows

Jan 19, 2025    Pastor Kevin Allen

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the profound concept of destiny and how our choices shape our spiritual journey. The central narrative revolves around Peter and Judas from Matthew 26-27, two disciples who both failed Jesus, yet had vastly different outcomes. This story beautifully illustrates that our destiny isn't determined by our mistakes, but by the direction we take afterwards. Are we running towards God or away from Him? The rooster's crow, traditionally seen as a symbol of Peter's failure, is reframed as a herald of new mercies and fresh beginnings. This perspective shift reminds us that God's compassion never fails and His mercies are new every morning. We're challenged to embrace the transformative power of God's mercy, regardless of our past failures. This message encourages us to take responsibility for our spiritual destiny, to stop blaming others, and to recognize that God is always reaching out to us, even in our darkest moments.
