Forgiving Yourself (1 of 4)
Series: Start Over
Jeff Geyer
Judges 6
Big Idea: To see you as God sees you, you believe what God says-His forgave, uniquely gifted, strong adopted son or daughter.
Intro: We all have regrets we wish we could go back and change. Maybe we want to hit the reset button on our relationships, health, and plans. Maybe there are decisions we wish we could do over. We can't go back and undo our past, but with Jesus we can start over.
