Three Strikes, You're Forgiven : Encounter a God Who Wants to Redeem Your Past, Restore Your Present, and Transform Your Future

When the going gets tough . . . When you’ve been let down repeatedly . . . When you’ve failed over and over again . . .

In those moments, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and lost. Failure can leave us feeling defeated and ashamed, and we often try to avoid it by striving for perfection. But the truth is, failure is a part of being human. We can’t earn our way into love, acceptance, or heaven, and life isn’t about success versus failure.

But there is hope! The gospel shows us that failure doesn’t have to define us, that failure isn’t final. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus took on all our mistakes and forgave them. In Three Strikes, You’re Forgiven, Pastor Micah E. Davis invites us to let go of our restless pursuit of perfection and to find rest in Christ.

Micah shares powerful spiritual truths about forgiveness and grace, guiding us through four necessary acts: forgiving others, asking for forgiveness, forgiving ourselves, and forgiving God. He explores:

• what forgiveness is, what it isn’t, and how to practice it
• how to understand biblical forgiveness and offer it to others
• the beauty of forgiveness and why it’s essential to healing relationships with others, ourselves, and God

Three Strikes, You’re Forgiven shows us that on the other side of failure is forgiveness. We’ll learn how forgiveness, mercy, reconciliation, and redemption can free us from bitterness and anger, releasing us into a life of peace, joy, and love.
