How God Turns Setbacks into Comebacks

One of people's most common fears in life is the fear of failure. We want things in our lives to be nice and smooth all the time, but that's an unrealistic expectation. Unfortunately, in this life we're going to experience setbacks that cause us to believe we've failed.

If you or your members are caught in a setback right now, this 10-part series can help encourage you as it explores the way God takes our setbacks and turns them into something great.

Discover how with a little faith we can weather any storm—no matter how severe.
