HC Lord's Day #21: Q&A 54-56

In this, one of Jesus' most difficult teachings, He shows us that we who are forgiven by God should forgive others as we have been forgiven.

Message from Pastor Nick Person on July 6, 2025

Forgive and you will be Forgiven

David's sins were forgiven but he still suffered the consequences. You can always be forgiven but you can't un-sin. Despite the harvest of David's sin, God was at work. This message focuses on how God uses our mistakes to grow us deeper and closer to Him. God is not rejecting you, He is restoring you.

Because God is merciful and just, we must trust him to decide where and when to enact justice.

Because God is merciful and just, we must trust him to decide where and when to enact justice.

Matthew 27:45-53

In this powerful episode of Cast the Word, we dive into the liberating truth that when God forgives, He also sets us free. Too many believers live condemned, holding onto guilt and shame that Jesus already dealt with at the Cross. We'll explore what the Bible says about divine forgiveness, why it's essential to forgive ourselves and others, and how real repentance leads to real transformation. Using stories like the woman caught in adultery and foundational scriptures like Romans 8:1, this episode will challenge you to not just accept God's forgiveness—but to walk in it. You are forgiven. You are free. Now live like it.

Psalm 32. 6/29/25.  An expositional sermon from Psalm 32.

Send us a textWhen we look at salvation from a biblical perspective, we see many things occur when a person receives Jesus and believes upon His name.  Forgiveness is one of those things we are granted when we come to Jesus.  And for many, who understand their need, being forgiven of their wickedness is absolutely liberating.  David mentions this in Psalm 32 when he suffered for his sin which tormented him but when he confessed he was liberated by forgiveness. 

Randall Davis in his message through Ephesians 4:32 emphasizes the transformative power of forgiveness, rooted in God's grace through Christ. He calls believers to create a Spirit-led atmosphere, give the gift of forgiveness freely, and model the sacrificial love of Jesus. True forgiveness is not forgetting or excusing wrongs, but releasing resentment and trusting in God's justice and healing.

Matthew 18:21-351. The King forgave a debt we could never pay2. Those who RECEIVE grace are expected to GIVE it3. Why Forgive?     -Forgiveness PRESERVES unity     -Forgiveness PREACHES the Gospel     -Forgiveness PROTECTS our heartsJohn Stott, “This certainly does not mean that our forgiveness of others earns us the right to be forgiven.  It is rather that God forgives only the penitent and that one of the chief evidences of true penitence is a forgiving spirit.  Once our eyes have been opened to see the enormity of our offense against God, the injuries which others have done to us appear by comparison extremely trifling.”4. A FORGIVING heart is evidence of a FORGIVEN heart

In a day when quick answers, overnight solutions, and canned responses are the hope and desire, God's plans often feel slow or non-existent. If it takes more than a few minutes or days to get direction and see results, we can feel like God doesn't care or isn't present.We want quick answers to questions like:What's my purpose?What should I do about the difficult relationships in my life?Life isn't fair. Why can't I get a solution to this unfair life?Enter the life of Joseph. A man who was given a dream by God as a teenager only to see his life move in the complete opposite direction of that dream. Where was God? What was God's plan? Is this still God's plan? These and many others could've easily plagued Joseph as he was sold into slavery, then accused of a crime he didn't commit, and confined to a prison cell. However, the Bible repeatedly says, God was with Joseph. But life wasn't following Joseph's dream or plan - or so it seemed.In this series we will discuss how to trust God's plan when it seems to be taking longer than expected and in directions you never intended. When God has a plan for life the only thing necessary is time for God's plan to come to complete fruition. God never left Joseph - God never leaves you. Through the life of Joseph we can learn how to see God in what feels like the detours to God's plan, we can learn to rely on God in the valleys of God's plan, and we can learn to trust God's plan.

Joseph's story—and the book of Genesis itself—wraps up with two important vignettes. The first is Joseph's father, Jacob, blessing his sons in his final days and marking them as part of God's covenant family, building a legacy that would far outlive him. In those final days of Jacob, we also get a glimpse of God's sovereignty. God is in complete control of everything and always knows what's best, even when we don't understand. The second vignette comes in chapter 50 when Joseph reiterates his forgiveness of his brothers. In both events, we see that we can trust God's sovereign plan and extend grace as people who are blessed by God to bless others, and forgiven by Jesus to forgive others.

Pastor Glenn Lawson preaches over a few important verses from Paul's letter to the church at Colossae, expounding upon an important truth: We were made alive through Jesus' actions at the cross. What does it truly mean to be alive in Christ, and how does one obtain that?

- John 21:5-19 / No doubt you know a fellow Christian who has fallen morally. Ever said to yourself, “that person is going to be put on a shelf, they’ll no longer be useful to God.” But is that a fair assessment? It depends on how sin is dealt with. Have we overlooked some important biblical guidelines, important directives in dealing with the serious failures of brothers or sisters in Christ?

How can we be sure that God truly forgives us, especially when our past sins feel unforgivable? Pastor John ministers hope to the unassured.

You can be fully forgiven by God and still carrying a heart full of offense. In this episode, we expose how unresolved hurt keeps believers stuck, how offense poisons your purpose, and why discipling your heart is essential for healing. We'll walk through the steps of naming, releasing, and healing from offense so you can live emotionally free and spiritually effective.

And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 25th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Genesis 12:13: “Please say you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you.” Then we go straight to 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”Folks, this story I am going to tell you is very sad for me because I love my wife, and I believe by the grace of God, I will die for her if necessary, but Abraham, the father of many, many nations, Abraham, the man that the Lord said, “He is My friend”, what did he do? He was afraid that Pharaoh was going to kill him because Sarah, Abraham's wife, was a very beautiful woman. So in order to save his skin, he said to Sarah, his wife, “When pharaoh asks you who you are, you must tell him that you are my sister and not my wife.” Now look, I am not laughing, this is very serious! So here is a man of God who is prepared to offer up his own wife in order to save his life. To me, that is probably top of the list when it comes to self-centredness, and yet, God still loved Abraham. How are you feeling today? Are you feeling like a failure? Have you done something that you should never have done, in order to save face or to save your reputation, and it has come at the cost of someone else? You might say, “That is exactly what I have done, and I feel wretched about it.” You know, Abraham didn't do that once, he actually did it twice, and yet God still forgave him and still used him to be the father of many nations. Our God is so gracious, He is so loving, but what do we need to do? We need to say sorry. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Please pray this prayer with me:Father God,I feel an absolute failure today. I feel I have let You down. I feel I have “dropped the ball,” as they say and I really don't know what to do.So I am coming to You today to ask that You forgive me and give me the strength to never do it again.In Jesus' name, Amen.God bless you and have a great day,Goodbye.

And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

- John 21:5-19 / Peter’s betrayal of Jesus after Jesus was arrested and taken away to be tried and crucified was a betrayal of massive proportions. How could he betray God’s own Son? And yet Peter was given a chance for redemption and forgiveness. Think your mistake, your sin is so bad that it can’t be forgiven?
