Forgiveness is at the heart of faith. Is it at the heart of your life? In Christ, all is forgiven—completely and pervasively—at great cost. Will you forgive? Listen to Pastor David's exhortation to forgive as you've been forgiven for more.

A Sermon for the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity 2 Corinthians 3:4-9 by William Klock Imagine you're an Israelite at the time of the Exodus.  Moses shows up and announces that the God of your ancestors—a God no one's heard from in four hundred years—is going to deliver you from Pharoah's slavery.  Sounds pretty sketchy.  But then God begins to act.  He sends ten plagues on the Egyptians.  He turns the Nile to blood.  Wow!  But then Pharoah's magicians do the same thing.  Okay…maybe not as impressive as it seemed at first.  But as the plagues go on, they get more and more impressive and Pharaoh's magicians can't keep up.  By the tenth plague you know without a doubt that this God of your fathers is something.  He's even more powerful than Pharoah and his gods.  And then the Red Sea.  Pharaoh chased you down.  Your people are stuck between the sea and Pharaoh's army.  All is lost.  And then the God of your fathers parts the sea itself in an amazing display of power and authority.  Imagine what it was like to walk through the sea on dry ground.  And then to watch as, just as miraculously, the God of your fathers causes the waters to come crashing back into place just at the right time to drown Pharaoh's army.  And you join with your people as, for the first time, you sing praise to this God of your fathers—a God whom you're now starting to think of as your God.  But God isn't finished.  He appears as a magnificent pillar of cloud in the day and a pillar of fire at night and he leads your people into the wilderness.  When there's nothing to drink, he causes water to pour forth from a rock.  When there's nothing to eat, he miraculously provides an abundance of manna and quail.  At Mount Sinai he meets your people in cloud and lightning on the mountaintop.  He establishes a covenant with you.  He will be your God and you will be his people.  He sends Moses down the mountain with the torah and with instructions for the tabernacle.  And having been in God's presence, Moses' face shines so brightly with God's glory that he has to wear a veil.  And when your people have finished assembling the tabernacle, you see God's glory—like a cloud—descend to fill it.  It's stounding.  It's the sort of thing the Egyptians could only dream about their gods doing and the God of Israel does it for real.  And, eventually, just as he promised, God leads your people into Canaan—the promised land—and he conquers the people for you and gives you their cities.  And you know it's him, not you.  There's no doubting it.  He had you march on Jericho, not with swords, but carrying his ark and blowing trumpets as you marched in circles around the city.  Not to attack it.  Not to put siege to it.  But simply to announce that the Lord, the God of Israel had come.  And when that announcement was clear and when everyone could see that you and your people had done nothing but announce the Lord's presence, he caused the walls to come crashing down.  He defeated the city.  And neither you nor anyone else could possibly think of taking credit for it.  Neither you nor anyone else took the Lord for granted.  Neither you nor anyone else could dream of giving your faith, your loyalty, your allegiance to any other god.  Because you had seen with your own eyes the glory of the Lord. Even as the generations passed, the people remembered the Lord.  They lived in those cities, they drew from those well, they harvested crops from those fields that the Lord had taken from the Canaanites and given to their fathers and grandfathers.  They bore in their flesh the sign of God's covenant—that statement, “I will be your God and you will be my people”—they bore that sign in their circumcision.  And every year they celebrated the Passover and not only recalled the events of the Exodus in which the Lord had saved their fathers; they participated, themselves, in those events—they owned them as if they'd happened to them.  And the covenant was renewed. And if you read the Old Testament no further you might think it would be like that forever.  How could a people who had so experienced the glory of God ever take him for granted, let alone turn their backs on him?  How could a people who had so experienced the glory of God ever look for confidence and hope in anyone or anything else?  But it happened.  They took their status as his people for granted.  They began to take those cities and wells and vineyards and fields he'd given them for granted.  They stopped celebrating the Passover and remembering what he'd done for them.  They started worshiping other gods.  They lost faith in the Lord and started putting their trust in kings and in armies and in politics.  And when the prophets came to rebuke the people and to call them back to faithfulness, they refused to listen and abused those prophets.  Eventually, because they took it all for granted, because they were unfaithful, the Lord took away the land and the cities and fields and vineyards—and finally even his presence—and sent the people into exile in a foreign land.  But not before he promised them renewal.  One day he would restore them and make them new and fill them with his own Spirit, he would turn their hearts of stone into hearts of flesh, so that they would be forever faithful. And, in Jesus, the Lord fulfilled that promise to his people.  In Jesus he was born as one of them, but rejected and crucified as a false Messiah.  God raised Jesus from death and overturned the verdict against him, declaring that he really was the Messiah and creation's true Lord.  In rising from the grave Jesus conquered death.  And then, to those who were baptised and received the sign of God's new covenant, he gave God's Spirit.  The old Israel had a temple.  This new Israel is the temple.  And as we read in last week's Epistle, Paul stressed that the risen Jesus appeared to the twelve, and to the other disciples, and even at one point to five hundred, and lastly to him.  And Jesus changed everything for them.  In his death and resurrection he led his people in a new exodus, not this time from physical bondage under Pharaoh, but from bondage to sin and death themselves.  And in baptism, Jesus leads his people like Moses through the waters of redemption to meet the Lord on the far side.  And the Spirit leads us, not as a pillar of cloud or fire, but as God's very presence within us, as we embark on a world- and humanity-saving trek through the wilderness of the old evil age into the age to come, towards the New Jerusalem, to that day when gospel and Spirit have done their work and Jesus does away with sin and death and evil once and for all and forever, and creation is set to rights and we enjoy the presence of our God eternally.  Those first eyewitnesses took this astounding gospel story to Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and to the world and amazing things happened.  It was more than just a story of the glory of God.  The story of the old exodus was that, but this was more.  The story of the Messiah and this new exodus has power unlike any story that has been told before or since.  This is a story backed by the life-giving and life-changing power of Jesus and the Spirit and the people who heard it and believed it and came to trust in the death and, most importantly, the resurrection of Jesus, they were changed.  Forgiven by the redeeming death of Jesus and then given a foretaste of the life of God's new world by the Spirit whom he poured into them.  It was a change that no one could ignore.  Some were captivated by it and came to hear and to believe the gospel story for themselves and they shared in this new life too.  And others got angry as the gospel story and God's new world challenged the gods and the kings and the systems in which they were already invested.  But to those who believed, the gospel, the good news about Jesus was life itself.  And they gathered together as often as they could and when they did, they not only shared the community the gospel had given them, they shared in the meal Jesus had given them.  In the Lord's Supper they ate bread and drank wine—and just as in the Passover—they didn't just remember what Jesus had done to deliver them from sin and death, they appropriated that death and resurrection, they participated in that saving event themselves.  They owned this new exodus just as the Israelites owned the events of the first exodus.  And each time it was as if the Lord was renewing his covenant with them: through Jesus and the Spirit, I will be your God and you will be my people. And you might think that their faithfulness to the Lord would be unending.  You would think that their trust and loyalty—their confidence—would always and only be in Jesus the Messiah.  But it wasn't.  If we're honest about our struggles, we know that it's easy to become distracted by other things.  There's a reason we gather every Sunday to hear the good news again and to come to the Lord's Table to be reminded and to renew the covenant.  There's a reason why wendaily immerse ourselves in the scriptures and in the story there of God and his people.  Because when we don't, even as glorious as that story is, even as it once captivated us so thoroughly, somehow—and to our shame—we forget.  And Jesus is still there, but we start focusing on other things and we start looking for other things and we start putting our confidence and our hope in other things. It even happened in the early church with that first generation of believers.  Paul had arrived in Corinth in about a.d. 50 or 51.  He proclaimed the good news about Jesus and both Jews and gentiles there were captivated by the story.  They believed.  They were baptised.  And Paul stayed with them for about a year and half, helping them to set up a church.  And everyone knew that it wasn't Paul who had done.  He was just an unassuming little man.  Funny looking, maybe with a speech impediment.  (Remember in last week's Epistle he owned that insult about being a monster, prematurely born.)  What happened in Corinth wasn't about Paul.  Brothers and Sisters, it was about the power of the gospel and the Spirit.  And yet just a few years later, it all started to fall apart.  The amazing story about the death and resurrection of Jesus that had once so spoken to them about the glory of God started to fade, and with it their motivation to holiness.  Sin—gross, truly wicked sin—started to creep into the church and they found ways to justify it.  Their worship became chaotic as people began using the gifts the Spirit had given to bring attention to themselves instead of to build up the body.  They abused the Lord's Supper and twisted and undermined its covenant meaning.  And when Paul, their brother, the one who had not only brought the gospel to them, but who could speak with authority about it because he, himself, had met the risen Jesus, when he wrote to them they brushed him off.  They told him they didn't want to hear from him anymore.  He'd been displaced by other preachers who were flashier, who were more handsome, who were better spoken then he was. And so, at the end of 2 Corinthians 2 he appeals to them.  He talks about himself as “we” instead of “I” and I think he does that to emphasise that he stand with the other apostles whose authority came from being eyewitness of the risen Messiah.  The same could not be said of others who have come to them and led them astray.  He writes to them, saying, “We aren't mere peddlers of God's word, as so many preachers are.  We speak with sincerity.  We speak from God.  We speak in God's presence.  We speak in the Messiah.”  The Messiah: that's who this is really about.  Paul has no authority of his own.  He simply speaks what he heard from Jesus himself.  And his point here is that they had once been captivated by that gospel of the Messiah that Paul had proclaimed to them, but now they've been captivated by the words of mere men.  “Do you want a letter of recommendation before you'll listen to me?” Paul asks.  “Do I need to give you a sheaf of reference letters so you'll know I'm legit?” “No,” says Paul, going on in 3:2: “You are our official reference!  It's written on our hearts.  Everyone can know and read it.  It's plain that you are a letter from the Messiah, with us the messengers.  A letter not written with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.  Not on tablets of stone, but on the tablets of fleshly hearts.” In other words, despite all their problems, despite their backsliding into worldly ways, they are not the people they once were.  Paul had proclaimed the good new—the story about Jesus and his death and resurrection and ascension—and through that preaching the Spirit had captivated them and filled their hearts with faith.  They believed.  They gave their trust, their loyalty, their allegiance, their obedience to Jesus and they were transformed.  And Paul could see it even through all their problems.  No, Paul doesn't need to give them references.  “You are my reference,” he says to them.  I know you've kicked me to the curb, but it was the message I received from Jesus that I preached to you that transformed you—not the merely human words of the other preachers who came along.  It was the word of God that did it. And they really, really need to hear this.  Because in the years since Paul left, as they've listened to teachers who led them astray, as the glory of the pure gospel has faded from their vision, they've begun to put their confidence in other things.  They no longer associate Paul with the gospel.  They're thinking of him as that funny-looking little man with the speech impediment.  And following someone like that in Greek culture, well, that wasn't going to get you anywhere.  And so they associated with the handsome preachers with eloquent rhetoric who could impress the Greeks.  They've forgotten that the gifts the Spirit gave them were gifts of grace to build up the body, and now they're abusing them and putting their confidence in them.  They've forgotten that the gospel puts them all on an equal footing before the throne of grace, and they're letting their old class and cultural divisions divide them up.  They were growing their church—as we'd say it today—but they weren't growing it on the gospel. We do the same thing today.  We may do it even more than the Corinthians, because commercialism is the cultural water we swim in and we don't even realise how much it impacts how we think about church and we don't realise how it so easily displaces the gospel and gospel growth and gospel ministry.  We build our churches around personalities.  We build our churches around programmes.  We build our churches around demographics.  We build our churches by advertising that we're better than or that we're not like our neighbouring churches.  We treat the church as if it's a business or a social club instead of a family—the covenant people of God, transformed and shaped by the gospel and the Spirit.  The Spirit has transformed our hearts of stone into hearts of flesh through the power of the gospel, but we forget the centrality of the gospel and allow our hearts to calcify back into stone.  It might not seem like that's what's happening at first.  Our churches may even have the appearance of success, but it's because we're appealing to stony hearts of worldly people with what they value, not with the power of the transforming gospel they need.   It's that simple gospel that needs to be at the centre of everything.  The risen Jesus always before us.  The risen Jesus at the centre of every decision we make.  The risen Jesus at the heart of everything we do.  Just Jesus, crucified and risen.  The simple gospel.  So Paul goes on in verse 4: “That is the kind of confidence we have toward God, through the Messiah.”  Stop putting your confidence in other things.  Just put it in Jesus.  He and only he can bring us before God.  So Paul says, “It isn't as though we are qualified in ourselves to reckon that we have anything to offer on our own account.  Our qualification comes from God: God has qualified us to be stewards of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit.  The letter kills, you see, but the Spirit gives life.”  The gospel was his only qualification and the only one that mattered.  The same goes for us. Now, think again of the glory that God put on display in the Exodus and in the story of Israel that followed.  That's what Paul gets at in verse 7 when he writes: “But just think about it: when death was being ministered, carved in letter of stone,”—he's talking about Mt. Sinai and the giving of the law”—“it was a glorious thing, so glorious in fact that the children of Israel couldn't look at Moses' face because of the glory of his face, a glory that was to be abolished.”  The glory God displayed in those days was astounding.  It moved the people to faith and trust and worship. But now Paul's talking about the new covenant and what God has done in Jesus and the Spirit.  “Will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?” he asks them.  “If ministering condemnation is glorious, you see, how much more glorious is the ministry of vindication—of righteousness, of justice?  In fact, what used to be glorious has come, by comparison, to have no glory at all, because of the new glory which goes so far beyond it! O, Brothers and Sisters, would that we would also be so captivated by the glory of the simple gospel of Jesus the Messiah.  There is no other glory that can compare and if we will keep it always before us—this good new of Jesus, crucified, risen, and Lord—if we would keep our eyes always focused on it, if we let it shape our lives, if we let it shape our decision, if we let it be the basis for everything we do as the church.  If the glory of the gospel were our sole source of confidence and hope, it would transform our churches and make us the people God intends for us to be.  God's promise is that one day the knowledge of his glory will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea, but, Brothers and Sisters, remember that he has made us the stewards of that glory.  He has entrusted his gospel of life to us and he's filled us with his Spirit.  It is our calling to make his glory known by taking the good news of Jesus to Courtenay and Comox, to Vancouver Island, to Canada, and even to the ends of the earth.  You may have placed a veil over God's glory.  This morning let the scriptures lift that veil.  Let the bread and the wine here at his Table lift that veil.  Look on the glory of the Lord revealed in Jesus the Messiah and be refreshed and renewed for the gospel ministry to which you have been called. Let's pray: Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve:  Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Saviour; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.

How does relationship, grace, and adoption through the Holy Spirit transform our lives, enabling God to take His rightful place as our Father and us as His sons and daughters. Our past shame and mistakes do not disqualify us, but rather through God's grace, we are fully accepted and loved, our identity secured in His adoption, not our performance

As we wrap up the story of the paralyzed man in Mark 2, Gene reminds us that once we've experienced God's forgiveness, we're called to extend it to others. Just as Jesus told the man to carry his mat as a reminder of grace, we too can remember what God has forgiven in us when we're tempted to hold on to hurt. Forgiveness isn't easy, but when we recall how deeply we've been forgiven, it becomes possible to reconcile, heal relationships, and live in freedom.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Today Gene shares the second step in truly experiencing God's forgiveness: confessing our sins, not just to God, but to another person. Just as the paralyzed man in Mark 2 heard Jesus say, “Your sins are forgiven,” we often need to hear those words spoken aloud to fully believe them. Through Scripture and story, Gene reminds us that when we confess and receive assurance of God's grace, we walk in freedom not because of what we've done, but because of what Christ has done for us.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

In this kick-off of our new message series, Deep & Wide, Pastor Michael explores the profound truth that those who are deeply forgiven are empowered to love deeply. Through the story of the sinful woman who anointed Jesus' feet, we see how an encounter with mercy transforms everything.Deeply Forgiven reminds us that going deeper in our faith starts with recognizing the depth of God's grace. When we fully grasp how much we've been forgiven, our hearts open wider—to love, to serve, and to reach others with that same grace.

Featuring the blessedness of having our sins forgiven from Psalm 32:1-7.Don't forget to check out our website! https://treasurehuntpodcast.wixsite.com/realtreasure

The Father's infinite pleasure in his own perfections is the fountain of our everlasting joy and forgiveness.

How do you know you've been forgiven? Do you have assurance thatyou've been forgiven for every sin that you've ever committed?  Well,the evidence and the proof is in the fact that you now have the ability toforgive others. You have the desire to forgive others instead of being a bitterperson, speaking evil against others, being full of malice and envy and wantingto get even and all those sorts of things and carrying a grudge on your shoulder.I'm telling you, my friend, the proof, the evidence that you have experiencedthe forgiveness of God through Christ Jesus is that you are willing and areable and have the power and ability to forgive others who have offended andhurt you, and who have caused you great pain and maybe loss.  RememberPeter ask Jesus in Matthew 18:21-22, "How often should I forgive mybrother? Seven times?” Jesus answers and says no, forgive him seventy times seven.That's how often you forgive the brother that sins against you and offends youand hurts you. Seventy time seven—that's limitless. That means you forget tocount after a while and you continue to forgive no matter what. Why and how? BecauseGod forgave you in Christ Jesus! And instead of talking evil against the personand being bitter.  Overthe years, the hardest and most difficult thing for me to deal with is bitterpeople. People who are full of bitterness because they feel like they've beenoffended. They have become a victim. It's everyone else's fault, and always blamingothers for their problems and attitudes. But my friend, the greatest blessingis to meet and know someone who has been hurt and been offended, yet likeCorrie ten Boom who forgave that guard who abused her and caused death to herfamily, they have forgiven the person who deeply hurt them.  Ohmy friend, through the grace of God we can forgive others, and we need to dothat. I love the story of Joseph in the last chapters of Genesis and how histen brothers threw him in a pit. They thought to kill him, but instead theysold him into slavery and they thought it was over. Then they lied to theirfather and said a beast must have killed him. You know the story how laterafter they were reconciled to their brother and after their father died inGenesis 50, they go to Joseph and they say, "Our father told us to cometo you again and ask for your forgiveness." And Joseph replied, "AmI in the place of God?" He went on to say, "Listen, you mighthave meant it for evil, but God meant it for good. And I'm not only going toforgive you. You don't need to be afraid. I'm going to provide for you." Bythe way, that's another evidence that you have been forgiven. You are willingto do good and “provide” to others who have deeply hurt and offended you. Why?Because God has been good to you through your forgiveness. My friend, I sure hopeand pray that we take this lesson to heart. It's one of the biggest, greatest,most powerful lessons in the Bible. There are over thirteen passages in the NewTestament encouraging us to forgive one another. In Matthew 6:14-15 Jesus said,"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father willalso forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither willyour Father forgive your trespasses.” HasGod spoken to your heart today? Is there someone you need to forgive because ofthe pain, the hurt, the bitterness in your heart that wells up inside of youwhen you think of them? You can because of the grace of God you haveexperienced! You need to see them in Christ. Remember God loves them. Christdied for them, and God wants them to have the salvation you have.  Yes,my friend, you have the ability and power to forgive when you have experienced,and you know God's forgiveness for your sins. And if you can't forgive others,maybe you need to check out whether you have truly been forgiven or notyourself. Please think about these things today! Godbless!

Today Fr. Philip offers a reflection on the parable of the unforgiving servant, and its implications for our own lives. You can find his blog with this reflection and more in written form at https://easternchristianinsights.blogspot.com/.

Psalm 32 1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,     whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,     and in whose spirit there is no deceit. 3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away     through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;     my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah 5 I acknowledged my sin to you,     and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”     and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah 6 Therefore let everyone who is godly     offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters,     they shall not reach him. 7 You are a hiding place for me;     you preserve me from trouble;     you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;     I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,     which must be curbed with bit and bridle,     or it will not stay near you. 10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked,     but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord. 11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,     and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

I am thankful that I have been forgiven for all my sins. That God now is my Father in heaven. That He loves me. Hecares for me. He meets all our needs according to His riches and glory inChrist Jesus. I have been so blessed with His forgiveness. Now that's what weread about in Ephesians 1:7. “In whom we have redemption through His blood.Yes, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace”.  Wedon't deserve this kind of forgiveness, but God gives it to us. He forgives usbecause Christ died on the cross for our sins. Now, a couple more things aboutforgiveness we want to continue to talk about. In John 1:29, when John theBaptist introduced Jesus Christ to his public ministry, and he saw Jesus comingto be baptized, he said, "Behold the lamb of God, which takes away thesin of the world." It is possible that John was thinking about and referringto Leviticus 16. You remember in Leviticus16, the great atonement chapter ofthe Old Testament, that on the Day of Atonement, one day a year, the High Priestof Israel would take the blood of a goat into the Most Holy Place, dipped hisfingers in that blood, and then he would sprinkle it on the Mercy Seat in the MostHoly Place before a holy God.  Rememberthat the Mercy Seat was setting over the Ark of the Covenant, which includedthe law of God, the law of Moses, the law that condemns us, the law that tellsus we're sinners, which reminds us that none of us are perfect. We've allsinned and come short of the glory of God that's revealed in His moral law. Andthere the mercy seat was sitting above and over it reminding us that with Godthere is abundant mercy and kindness and grace if we'll turn to His way ofsalvation which is through the blood. (Read Dr. Towns Devotional that is postedon my website at: https://www.pmiministries.org/post/365-ways-to-know-god-by-elmer-towns-august-24 Therewas another goat called the scapegoat. And that scapegoat would be outside thetabernacle doors. The priest laid his hands on the head of that goat and confessedall the sins of the people of Israel. Symbolically he would put the sins of thepeople on the head of that goat. Then that goat then would be taken by a manthat was appointed by the priest and led out into the wilderness, and maybethere was another man further out already waiting, and he would take it furtherand further and further into the wilderness. And so finally, there is no waythat that goat could find its way back to the people of God. And my friend, thisscapegoat symbolized that their sins were not only covered there in thetabernacle, atoned for, but they were also removed.  Thatreminds me of Psalms 103:10-12 where it says: “He has not dealt with usaccording to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as theheavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fearHim; As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed ourtransgressions from us.” My friend, God's not only saved us and forgiven us,and no longer holds our sins against us, they are also no longer on ouraccount. They were put on Christ account. And on Christ account, they were paidin full.  Godhas now removed our sins from us. The removal of our sins is as far as the eastis from the west. It doesn't matter how far east you go, you can't get to thewest. And no matter how far west you go, you won't get to the east, so tospeak. They're removed from each other, never to come together.  Yoursins will never come together upon you again because you're forgiven in ChristJesus. I love what it says in Hebrews 8:11 where God says, “For I will bemerciful toward their iniquities. And I will remember their sin no more."God not only forgives us, He forgets our sins. We might not forget them, butGod does.  Forgivenand Forgotten!!!!!  Oh, how blessed weare. Today you can experience and enjoy forgiveness of sins through Christ! Godbless!

Luke 7:36-50 records an incredible interaction Jesus had with a Pharisee and a woman who was a known sinner in the city. Jesus places the actions of the woman in contrast to that of the Pharisee to demonstrate the fact of her forgiveness, and what it provoked in her. The amazing account of God's mercy moves us to confidence, love, and peace.

In this episode of Bible Reading and Coffee Drinking, we continue our journey through Romans by unpacking chapter 3, where Paul delivers a sobering yet hope-filled message: all of us have sinned and fall short of God's glory, but salvation is available to everyone through faith in Jesus Christ. Paul explains that we can't earn God's favor through the law—righteousness comes only by grace. This chapter is the heart of the gospel, reminding us of our desperate need for Jesus and God's incredible gift of redemption.

This week, pastor Chris taught on forgiveness from the parable of the unforgiving servant. We were reminded of the profound truth that God's forgiveness toward us is both undeserved and immeasurable—and we are called to extend that same forgiveness to others. Though forgiveness can be difficult and costly, it is a freeing act of obedience that reflects the heart of God and protects us from the torment of bitterness.

Speaker: Adam GodshallSeries: ForgivenessText: Matt. 12:37, Heb. 10:17Theme: Question: What Happens to a Forgiven Believer at the Judgement Seat?

I Am Forgiven | Pastor CarlosThe message titled “I Am Forgiven.” It's a truth that transforms everything — not just a phrase, but a declaration of freedom, grace, and restoration. 

What is the cry of the heart that not only acutely and piercingly feels their transgression and sin…but just as acutely and clearly know the forgiveness and hope that permeates the believer who swims in the unsearchable depths of God's forgiveness. 

“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” — Isaiah 1:18 (ESV)My Beloved Child,There's something you need to hear again—and again, until it silences every lie and accusation: You are fully forgiven. Completely. Eternally. There is nothing left unpaid, no shame left uncovered, no sin left outside the reach of My grace.I saw it all. Every mistake. Every secret. Every moment you wished you could undo. I didn't turn away in disgust. I leaned in with mercy.You've wondered if you've gone too far, fallen too hard, or failed one too many times. But My Son didn't go to the cross for the perfect. He went for you. The blood that flowed that day still speaks now—louder than your guilt, stronger than your regret, deeper than your wounds.When I said, “It is finished,” that included every sin you've confessed and even those you're still afraid to speak. And yes, I saw the tears. I see them still. But I'd rather you cry in My arms than run from My presence.You are not a second-class citizen in My Kingdom. You're not merely tolerated. You're wanted. You're Mine.Don't hide your heart anymore. Bring Me the broken pieces. I won't scold you—I'll restore you. Let Me wrap My arms around you and remind you that I don't love a future version of you—I love you right now, right here.Your past no longer defines you. I do.So walk free. Breathe deeply. Forgive yourself. And know that nothing—nothing—can separate you from My love.I'm not holding anything against you. I'm holding you close.Forever forgiven,Your Heavenly FatherMy Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Colossians 2:6-15Rev. Matt Rice

Ibelieve what we're talking about today is one of the most important things wecan talk about in the Bible and especially in the New Testament, and that is theforgiveness of sins. The forgiveness of sins, and knowing that we'reforgiven. Yesterday we started looking at Ephesians 1:7, and there it tells usthat “in Him we have redemption through His blood”. We explained thatyesterday. Redemption through the blood. How His blood has redeemed us, has setus free from our sin, has paid the ransom price to a holy God so that we do nothave to stand guilty before Him. And then next He says, "And theforgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace."  Oneof the greatest feelings I have ever had emotionally, mentally, spiritually, inany way, humanly speaking, was the day that I knew I was forgiven for my sins.February 21st, 1971. God didn't hold my sins against me any longer. The guiltwas gone. The darkness was gone, and the burden was lifted. In the NewTestament, the forgiveness of sins is the central theme of the gospel message. Itemphasizes God's mercy and His grace through Jesus Christ. It addresses thefact that man is a sinner. That man is a fallen creature. Man is separated fromGod. Man is alienated from God. We're separated from God by our sin. And “thewages of sin is death”. The payment for sin is death. But my friend, “thegift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).  Goddoesn't forgive us because He loves us. Many people have that mistaken idea,but that's not true. God forgives us because He sent His Son to die in ourplace for our sin. Jesus took the penalty for our sin. He took the guilt. Hetook the shame. He took all of it, the death of our sin upon Himself and diedin our place in a substitutionary way. Our sin was imputed to Him and Hisrighteousness has been imputed to us, and therefore being justified by faith wehave peace with God (Romans 5:1). The word justified means now we have a rightstanding before a holy God. We're no longer guilty before a holy God.  Theonly way to be forgiven is to first recognize that you need to be forgiven.That you find yourself under the weight and guilt of your sin and you have noway to deal with that. Going to church, living a good life, doing good deeds,doing anything you're trying to do to remove your sin. The sacraments,religion, nothing can remove your sin. No priest, no man on earth can removeyour sin, my friend. Only one person can, and that is Jesus Christ through thedeath, His death on the cross of Calvary. And when we acknowledge that, then wecan cry out to God for forgiveness in repentance of our sins. Atthat point, we express our faith and trust in what Jesus did for us on thecross. And that's when the moment of salvation takes place and we are forgiven becausewe have a Savior, Jesus Christ. There is no other way (Acts 4:12). Oh, nogreater experience than to be forgiven. And that's the love God has for us(John 3:16). He sent His Son to die for us. Love is expressed in the fact thatHe does forgive us through His mercy and the grace of Jesus Christ on the cross. That'swhy when we forgive those who trespass against us those who hurt us we areexpressing not our love because our love is pretty faulty at best, but we'reexpressing God's love because God is love and God only can forgive sin and myfriend you have experienced that, it's then for Christ's sake that you canforgive others, not that they deserve it any more than we deserved it.  Well,this is a great truth. We have the forgiveness of sin according to the richesof His grace. Have you been forgiven? I trust you have.  Godbless!

We preach grace to others. We believe in God's forgiveness. But when it comes to ourselves, we struggle. Why is it easier to believe God forgives them… but so hard to believe He forgives me? This is where the enemy loves to wage war: in the battleground of your mind, using your own memories as weapons.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“As far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us.” — Psalm 103:12 (ESV)Let's get something straight—Jesus didn't die for part of your sin. He died for all of it. If He says it's removed as far as the east is from the west, then it is. If He says you're clean, then you are.The problem? We keep dragging the past back into the present. Not because God hasn't forgiven us—but because we haven't forgiven ourselves.That abortion you never told anyone about…That word you wish you could take back…That season of rebellion that still haunts you…These moments play on repeat in your mind, while heaven has already hit “delete.”Self-forgiveness isn't weakness or denial—it's agreement with the cross. When you withhold forgiveness from yourself, you're saying your standard is higher than God's. You're denying the power of the blood. And that's not humility—it's bondage.It's time to let go. Not just because it's healthy—but because it's holy. When God says “It is finished,” He means your shame is finished, too.So today, speak to yourself the same grace you've spoken over others. Look in the mirror and say, “I am forgiven. I am free. I am no longer bound by what I cannot change.”Question of the Day:What is one thing you still beat yourself up for that God has already forgiven?Mini Call to Action:Write it down. Then cross it out and write in bold: “FORGIVEN.”Let's Pray:Jesus, I receive what You've already given. I lay down the guilt I've carried for too long. Teach me to agree with Your grace, not my shame. Thank You for setting me free. Amen.Let's Get To Work!Stop holding yourself hostage for what Jesus already paid for.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through August 19th's scripture readings, taking us on a journey from Jeremiah chapters 45 and 47, to Psalm 105, and ending with John 21. Hunter reflects on powerful themes of God's unwavering love and faithfulness—even in the face of failure, brokenness, and exile. Through the story of Peter's restoration by Jesus, we're invited to see ourselves as loved, forgiven, and renewed, no matter the weight of our past mistakes. Along the way, Hunter encourages us to let God's love reshape our lives so we can share that same hope with others. The episode concludes with heartfelt prayers and gratitude for this global community of listeners. So, wherever you are, settle in as we warm our hearts together by the fires of God's love, and remember: you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Love is rooted in God. He is love's origin and source. That is who he is. God is love. His love is not conditioned on our response, our attitudes, our prayers, or our work for him. It simply is, because that is who God is. The rock that Peter is and will become is quarried from the rock that is Christ himself. He's a chip off the old block. Peter's very being is rooted in God. Something fundamental has shifted. Peter has been drawn into the life of Christ. This is, to use a big word, an ontological reality that Peter must begin to grapple with, and must allow to transform his entire being. Peter no doubt struggled with the failure that was his denial of Christ. He no doubt struggled to see himself in any other way than as weak, a fraud, a failure. I'm sure there was a mountain of self-loathing in the wake of his denial. So Jesus asks Peter three times this fundamental question: Do you love me? Jesus is chipping away at all the ways we see ourselves and frame our lives, that stand in the way of us fully participating in what really is, and who we really are. Peter has to know that he himself is loved, forgiven, that he is in Christ. Christ sees something in Peter that Peter is struggling to see himself: God's love, God's love for him. And Peter needs to see in others what God has already seen in him. Those sheep, Peter, they're like you. They have failed. They are hiding. They are afraid. They are ashamed. But the truth is, like you, they are already forgiven. The truth is that they are new. The truth is that they are loved. Now go tell them. Feed them with this gospel. Now, enough about Peter. Let's talk about you. Jesus sees something in you. And you, like Peter, might be struggling to see it. Maybe Jesus is chipping away at all the many ways that your failures have framed your life. Well, the truth is that your real life is hidden with God in Christ. And the more that you begin to awaken to that reality and God's love for you, the more you will be able to offer that love to God's sheep—to all the people you see today, all the people living under the crushing weight of their failures and shame. Let God chip away at those things that keep you from seeing what God really sees in you: that you are already forgiven, that you are already loved, that you are already in Christ. Now offer this message to everyone in your world. Feed his sheep. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
