HOLD THIS L 1: Abraham, God's Promises Lead Us
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The message "Hold This L: Overcoming Failure Through Faith" teaches that personal failures—or "Ls"—do not disqualify someone from being used by God because His promises are bigger than any mistake. Using Abraham as the "G.O.A.T." of both faith and failure, the sources highlight how he repeatedly chose fear over trust by lying about his wife's identity and taking impatient shortcuts to "help" God fulfill His promises. However, through grace, God defines Abraham by His own faithfulness rather than Abraham's "repeat Ls," even characterizing him in the New Testament as someone who "waited patiently". The message concludes by calling students to "fail forward" by stopping their own shortcuts and trusting in the victory of Jesus, who took the "ultimate L" on the cross to pay for every human failure.
