You Can Come Back From a Set Back

Feb 22, 2026    Pastor Matthew War

If you’ll open your Bible to 2 Corinthians 3, you’ll discover something both intimidating and empowering:


You are a living epistle.


Before many people ever read Scripture, they read the Gospel through someone’s life. Your integrity, your decisions, your faithfulness — they all preach a message.


In this powerful message, we unpack:

-What it really means to be “a letter written by Christ”

-Why integrity is not perfection — it’s making things right

-How to admit it, own it, and submit it

-Why brokenness does not disqualify you from redemption

-How God restores the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2)


Maybe you’ve made mistakes. Maybe there’s a “withered hand” area in your life. Maybe the enemy keeps reminding you of a chapter you wish you could rewrite.


Here’s the truth:

You can’t get a do-over — but you can get redemption.


God doesn’t rub your sin in.

He rubs your sin out.


If you’re ready to live clean…

If you’re ready to represent Christ well…

If you’re ready to make it right…

This message is for you.
