Thursday February 26, 2026I Week Of LentToday's readings remind us that integrity, maturity, and mercy are formed under pressure.In Genesis 39:1–23, Joseph rises in Potiphar's house because “the Lord was with him.” Even when falsely accused and thrown into prison, that same phrase is repeated—*the Lord was with Joseph. Favor does not prevent hardship, and faithfulness does not always yield immediate reward. But God's presence remains steady in both promotion and prison.In 1 Corinthians 2:14–3:15, Paul contrasts spiritual maturity with spiritual infancy. The natural mind cannot grasp the things of the Spirit, and believers are urged to grow beyond jealousy and division. We are builders on a foundation already laid—Jesus Christ. What we construct with our lives will be tested, and only what is built on Him will endure.And in Mark 2:1–12, four friends lower a paralyzed man through a roof to reach Jesus. Before healing the body, Jesus forgives the man's sins—revealing that His deepest authority is over the human heart. The scribes question Him, but the crowd leaves glorifying God.This episode invites us to remain faithful when unseen, to build wisely on Christ as our foundation, and to trust the Son who not only heals—but forgives and restores from the inside out.

Podcast Episode 216 -Forgiven! by Saylorville Church
Instant gratification feels good… but forgiveness sets you free. In today's Rise Up reflection, we face one of the hardest questions of Lent: Who do you need to forgive? Jesus tells us clearly: “If you forgive others… your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive… neither will your Father forgive you.” We can't receive mercy while refusing to give it. Let today be a day of freedom. Let the bitterness go. Let the anger go. Forgive those who have hurt you. Rise Up is a 90-day daily Gospel reflection for Lent and Easter focused on focus, friends, and fellowship.

We come to Luke 5:1-11 in our journey through that gospel and see how Jesus customizes His call on Peter (and his gang) in a way uniquely suited to the fisherman's sensibilities. He does the same with us, just not with fish. To investigate this most important of stories further, go here.
Jesus frequently told people their sins were forgiven. But what did they understand that to mean? Today's Christians see it as "now I can go to heaven." Jews back then heard something completely different...
In 2 Corinthians 2:1–11, we see that a church is only as healthy as its relationships. Paul shows us three essentials for gospel health: cultivating refining personal relationships, understanding the loving purpose of church discipline, and displaying the power of forgiveness. When we confront sin with love, pursue repentance, and extend forgiveness as those who have been forgiven in Christ, we protect the unity and witness of the church. Forgiven people forgive people - and that's how the gospel shapes a healthy church.
It Stops With Me — Week OneWe all want freedom. But if we're honest, many of us are living “free-ish.” Saved… but still stuck. Forgiven… but still fighting the same thoughts. Worshiping loudly… but wrestling quietly.In Week One of It Stops With Me, we look at how strongholds form in our thinking and why real freedom starts in the mind before it shows up in our behavior. When David was anointed king, the enemy mobilized — and sometimes the reason the battle intensifies is because you're finally stepping into who God says you are.If there's a pattern you're tired of managing… If there's a cycle you don't want to pass down… This message will challenge you to stop surviving and start fighting differently. Because who the Son sets free is free indeed.
This message places confession in its proper covenantal and historical context, showing that New Covenant believers live free—not by rehearsing sins—but by resting in what Christ already accomplished.
This week, Chad from 3Ci shares a powerful message about identity and grace. In Framed, Forgiven, and Fathered, he unpacks how the enemy tries to frame us with guilt, shame, and accusation—but Jesus steps in to forgive us and bring us home as sons and daughters. This is a reminder that you are not defined by your past, your mistakes, or the labels placed on you. In Christ, you are forgiven, fully known, and deeply fathered.

Here's why you don't need to keep asking God to forgive you… Discussion Questions: Why do you think Christians struggle to believe they're actually forgiven? Which of the "finished work" verses we started with means the most to you? Why? React to this statement: 1 John 1:9 offers forgiveness of ALL sins to the sin denier. How does the dividing line of the cross factor into the two Matthew passages? What is the true definition of confession? What is its healthy role in our lives? The only sin mentioned for ten chapters of Hebrews is unbelief. Why is this important in understanding Hebrews 10:26? What is your biggest takeaway from this message? Why?
Welcome to the 38th sermon in our series on the books of 1 & 2 Samuel. In the books of 1&2 Samuel, God grants his people a king, but it doesn't go the way they think it will go. Power is something every person craves, but does it ever deliver what we hope it will deliver? In God's story, power is a crucible that enables, lifts up, reveals and exposes. It is God's to grant and ours to either steward or worship…one leads to life, the other to destruction. Join us through the books of 1&2 Samuel as we look at the stories of prophets, kings and peasants being shaped and formed by God's crucible of power.
Many people want assurance of forgiveness without confronting the darkness of their own heart. John reminds us that those who walk in the light are honest about their failures and turn to Christ for cleansing. This message looks at the confession of sin that gives evidence to the reality of our faith.

This message clarifies that righteousness and forgiveness are not progressive or reversible, exposing how works-based thinking and gnostic influence distort the gospel and undermine assurance.
In the darkness of the cross, Jesus was truly forsaken—made sin in our place—so the full weight of God's justice could fall on Him instead of us, making this the decisive moment of redemption in all history.
In hour 4, Spadoni and Shasky ask the question if 49ers fans have forgiven Kyle Williams after a raw interview with him.
Saved — but not joyful. Forgiven — but not fulfilled. Secure — but not satisfied. Psalms 51:12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation. What is the joy of your (God's) salvation? What is the joy of your (God's) salvation? -A deep, settled gladness that we belong to God -A soul-level satisfaction in Christ […]
YES, I AM FORGIVEN... 1. The Debt is Canceled (Colossians 2:13–14) 2. The Wealth is Credited (Romans 4:4–5) 3. The Memory is Forgotten (Hebrews 8:12) New City Catechism Question 25: Does Christ's death mean all our sins can be forgiven? Answer: Yes, because Christ's death on the cross fully paid the penalty for our sin, God graciously imputes Christ's righteousness to us as if it were our own and will remember our sins no more (WCF 8.4–5, 11.1, 11.3, 15.3; WSC Q.25, 33; WLC Q.38, 44, 70, 71, 77).

This week in 2 Corinthians 2:5–11, we explore how the gospel shapes both discipline and forgiveness, showing that healthy confrontation protects the church, but true strength is seen when forgiven people extend forgiveness and move toward restoration.

This message confronts the fear-based misuse of 1 John 1:9 and establishes forgiveness as a finished, past-tense reality for the believer, secured once for all by the cross of Christ.
In this Bible Study I give you my premise that, "All our future sins have already been forgiven even before we commit them". Yes this is a controversial teaching because it goes against the mainstream views of most believers and denominations today, but I know I am absolutely correct in this. Please give me the chance to change your mind and I welcome your response. In this study I prove my premise with logical reasoning and then undeniable biblical reasoning. I then look at the push back scriptures and arguments that people use to teach that believers need to continually ask God for ongoing forgiveness in order to restore their relationship with Him after sinning. Finally I give my conclusion and the application of the revelation that all our future sins are already forgiven, and it is absolutely powerful and stunning!

Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the Gospel story of the sinful woman who anointed Christ's feet and was forgiven, highlighting the contrast between her humble repentance and the self-righteous judgment of the Pharisee, Simon. He explains how Christ's mercy is given to those who recognize their sins and come with sincere repentance, while those blinded by pride fail to receive forgiveness. Fr. Matthias discusses the importance of genuine confession, sacrifice, and faith in God's forgiveness for salvation. He emphasizes that understanding our own sinfulness leads to humility and deeper love for God, whereas ignoring it results in spiritual blindness. The sermon also reflects on how Jesus responds to both the woman's faith and the Pharisee's skepticism, showing God's readiness to forgive sincere repentance. This teaching encourages self-examination, sincere repentance, and an appreciation of God's mercy beyond outward appearances.

How do you actually know if you're forgiven?In this deeply personal episode, Scott and Deb respond to a heartfelt question from an Institute student wrestling with repentance, assurance, and shame. Together, they explore why repentance isn't a checklist, why God isn't disappointed in us, and why forgiveness is less about “moving past sin” and more about staying aligned with Jesus Christ. Through vulnerable stories, doctrinal clarity, and lived experience, this conversation reframes repentance as a relationship—one marked by trust, peace, and a Savior who already finished the work. If you've ever wondered whether you're really forgiven, this episode is for you.
