Vicious "righteous anger." Attendance pay?! Forgiven trauma. James: pure joy. Bible: reparations? Lightning strike victims. RIP BofA exec. Lindsay Clancy jury. Skull relic kiss

Failure does not have to define your future when you bring your brokenness to Jesus. In this final sermon of the "Forgiven to Forgive" series, we explore John 21 to discover how Christ restores us from failure to a future of usefulness.

What happens when God shows you something about yourself you don't want to see?Our instinct is often to defend.Explain.Distract ourselves.Push it away.But what if the uncomfortable truth is actually an invitation to transformation?In this reflection on Psalm 32, John Ortberg explores the relationship between pain, honesty, forgiveness, and genuine change.John begins personally, describing a conversation in which a longtime friend helped him recognize uncomfortable patterns of comparison, envy, and competition in himself.Instead of defending himself, John is learning to say:“Yep. That's me. God, I need Your help.”Psalm 32 describes the blessed person as someone “in whose spirit is no deceit.”Then John tells the extraordinary story of Tom Tarrants, a violent white supremacist and KKK terrorist who was imprisoned in Mississippi.In prison, Tarrants encountered the words of Jesus:“What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”His life began to change.The man who once participated in racist terrorism eventually devoted himself to forgiveness, racial reconciliation, and serving the very people he once hated.How far can somebody fall and still be changed by God?Maybe much further than we imagine.So when your conscience shows you something today, don't immediately run.Don't defend.Don't hide.Ask:God, help me see the truth about myself.And then:Would You change me?In this episode:- Psalm 32 and honest confession- What happens when we become defensive- Dallas Willard on pain and reality- Why hiding the truth fragments us internally- David, Psalm 51, and forgiveness- The story of Tom Tarrants- Radical transformation from hatred to reconciliation- What it means to have “no deceit” in your spirit- How to respond to conviction- Why God's grace can change anyoneScriptures: Psalm 32 • Psalm 51 • Psalm 1 • Matthew 16:26 • 2 Samuel 11–12#Psalm32 #JohnOrtberg #Forgiveness #Psalms #Transformation #SpiritualFormation #Confession #ChristianFaith #Grace #BibleStudy

Forgiven People Forgive People , Matthew 18:21-35 by The Chapel Sandusky Campus

Is being a good person enough to make you right with God? In the final week of TRUish, Pastor JC Worley exposes the danger of moralism—the belief that being good makes us right with God. While there is nothing wrong with doing good, our goodness can never earn salvation because God's standard isn't our goodness compared to other people; it's His perfect holiness. The good news is that we don't have to earn what Jesus has already done for us. Salvation is received through faith, not achieved through good works. Through the story of the criminal who encountered Jesus on the cross, we see that God's grace is available even when we have nothing to offer except faith. Relativism says I decide what's true. Emotionalism says my feelings decide what's true. Mysticism says my experiences decide what's true. Moralism says my goodness makes me right with God. But the Gospel gives us a different answer: salvation isn't built on what we believe, feel, experience, or do. Salvation is built on Jesus.

Sunday Morning Sermon with Pastor Jacob Gray from Ten Mile Baptist Church in McLeansboro, Illinois

Synopsis: Christ's greater righteousness exposes anger as heart-murder, requires reconciliation before worship, and demands urgent settlement with our adversary — because the law was always aimed at the heart, not merely the hands. Sermon Text: Matthew 5:21-26

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

In this message, Pastor Aaron Edwards focuses on the theme of forgiveness and its transformative power. He emphasizes the importance of releasing personal demands for revenge, entrusting justice to God, and remembering the mercy received. In the talk, he shares personal experiences and encourages the audience to yield their wounds to Jesus, choosing freedom over bitterness.TakeawaysForgiveness is about releasing the offender from personal demands for revenge and entrusting justice to God.Remembering the mercy received is essential in the process of forgiveness.Choosing freedom over bitterness and yielding wounds to Jesus leads to redemption and transformation.Recorded live at Hope Church in Springfield, MO#forgiveness #howtoforgive #bitterness #justice #revenge #vengeance #freedom #deliverance

Peter recognizes that Jesus has been teaching about forgiveness, but he has not yet grasped the abundance of God's mercy. Jesus calls His disciples to forgive freely without measure because God has forgiven us freely without measure. To illustrate this, Jesus tells a parable of a servant whose astronomical debt is forgiven by his master. When that same servant has a fellow servant who owes him a significant but much smaller amount, he refuses forgiveness. In a similar way, the refusal to forgive shows that there is no faith in Christ's forgiveness, whereas our forgiveness of someone who has sinned against us is simply our confession of the reality that Christ has died for all.  Rev. James Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ottumwa, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 18:21-35.  To learn more about Trinity in Ottumwa, visit trinitylutheranottumwa.com. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

August 23rd 2026   We all need forgiveness. The good news is that forgiveness isn't something we earn or achieve—it is a gift we receive through faith in Jesus. His sacrifice was enough to pay the full price for our sin and restore our relationship with God. In “One More Forgiven,” we look at what Scripture says about sin, forgiveness, salvation, confession, conviction, and the freedom we have through Jesus. Our sin is great, but His sacrifice is greater. Receiving forgiveness doesn't mean our sin was insignificant. It means the sacrifice of Jesus was sufficient. And when we fail as followers of Jesus, we don't have to start our salvation over. Our failures may require confession, but they don't require another salvation. In Christ, there is now no condemnation. Because one more matters to God. There is always one more person who needs to hear that forgiveness is available, that their past doesn't have to define their future, and that they can come home to God through Jesus. One more forgiven. One more changed. One more life made new.   https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/

Nobody backslides overnight. It’s neglect here, a missed prayer there, a compromise in another area—and before you know it, you’re sinking.That’s exactly what happened to Simon Peter. The night before the cross, he boasted he’d never abandon Jesus, even if everyone else did. Within hours he’d fallen asleep when he should’ve been praying, swung a sword when he should’ve trusted God, followed at a distance instead of staying close, and warmed himself by the wrong fire with the wrong crowd. When a servant girl recognized him, Peter cursed and swore he didn’t even know Jesus. Immediately, the rooster crowed—and Jesus turned and looked at him.But that wasn’t the end of his story. Three days later, an angel gave the women at the tomb a message with two words that still carry grace: “and Peter.” Weeks later, the same man who denied Jesus three times stood up and preached the sermon that led three thousand people to faith.Fallen? Yes. Finished? No.If you’ve fallen, hear this: God doesn’t run from failure. He restores it. Your failure isn’t final when you belong to Jesus. Run to Him, not from Him. Listen in for more on this topic from Greg Laurie. Notes: Luke 22 1 Timothy 4:1 (NLT)Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. One sign that points to Christ’s return is that some people will fall away spiritually. If we are not moving forward, we are naturally going backward.There is no standing still spiritually. We are either progressing or regressing. Hebrews 2:1 (NLT)So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. After you have fallen, you may wonder if you can be forgiven. The past cannot be changed, but our response to it can be.God can take our endings and turn them into beginnings. The fall of Simon Peter is the anatomy of backsliding. Read Luke 22:31–34 Satan himself targeted the big fisherman. It is unlikely any of us has personally been tempted by the devil himself. Satan had to ask God first.He can do nothing in the life of a child of God without our Father’s permission. Even when Satan attacked Job, he was under divine restraint. Jesus is saying to Peter, “Simon, I know you better than you know yourself.” Jesus is interceding for us.Romans 8:34–35 Jesus added a very important detail.Peter’s lapse will be temporary.Peter will return and be stronger for it.Luke 22:32 1 Peter 5:10 (NLT)After you have suffered a little while, God will restore, support, and strengthen you, and He will place you on a firm foundation. The trial you are going through has a beginning, a middle, and an end. God has a purpose for your life.Psalm 30:5 Satan targeted Peter because he could see that Peter was a spiritual leader who could shake his world. The devil sets his sights on those who are a threat to the kingdom of darkness. Peter’s first step down was self-confidence.Matthew 26:33 1 Corinthians 10:12 (NKJV)Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. Read Luke 22: 39–46 Peter’s second step down was prayerlessness. All Jesus asked of Peter, James, and John was to be with Him and pray. Peter, James, and John were not watching and praying.Instead, they are slumbering and sleeping. Peter had no idea the storm was brewing. Prayerlessness can be as much of a sin as breaking a commandment.It’s a sin of omission.James 4:17 Peter’s third step down was self-reliance. Read Luke 22:47–51 Peter was boasting when he should have been listening.Sleeping when he should have been praying.Now he was fighting when he should have been trusting. Peter was fighting the wrong enemy with the wrong weapon. Our enemies are not flesh and blood, and they cannot be defeated with ordinary weapons. 2 Corinthians 10:4 Peter’s fourth step down was following at a distance.Luke 22:54–55 Peter’s fifth step down was wrong associations. Read Luke 22:55–61 It was not the end but a new beginning. Peter’s sixth step down was his denial. Curse was a very strong term pronouncing death on oneself by the hand of God if they were lying. Peter had lost all sense of reality and seemingly all awareness of God. Read Luke 22:59–62 Peter would be able to use his failure as a way to encourage others who had failed. Nobody is above falling into sin. Simon Peter:fallen but forgiven,broken but not abandoned. Jesus restored Peter. The same Peter, who cursed and swore that he did not know Jesus, stood up weeks later and preached a sermon on Pentecost that resulted in 3,000 coming to faith. God gives second chances.

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.” He invites us into the light — to himself. Scripture also tells us that people avoid the light because they fear what will be exposed. But what if hiding isn't just something unique to people who don't follow Jesus? What if fear, shame, rejection, and old wounds can remain buried deep within us—even when we genuinely know Jesus and have been completely forgiven?When we accept the gift of eternal life, we come into the light. It's free. It's undeserved. This is the unique and profound gospel of grace. Jesus has finished the work of salvation. But where does the hard work of sanctification fit in? Is it possible we become fearful of a ‘works gospel' and so minimise the essential work of being transformed, renewing our minds, and opening wide our hearts?What might happen if, instead of defending, blaming or shaming ourselves, we became curious—and simply asked Jesus, “Where in my heart am I hiding from you?” And what part does community play in the process of opening our hearts? Jesus' invitation is not condemnation, it's freedom. To open wide your heart and let yourself be known.

Pastor Ben preaches on Luke 7:36-8:3

Even though I've been saved I still feel shame when I look back at certain events - Why? Should the church be utilizing imprecatory psalms in their services? When do I let my child take part in communion?

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! Today we journey through Jeremiah 45–47, Psalm 105, and John 21. Jeremiah speaks into uncertainty, judgment, exile, and fear. Psalm 105 calls us to remember God's enduring faithfulness. Then, in John 21, we encounter the risen Jesus beside the sea, preparing breakfast for his disciples and restoring Peter after the anguish of his denial. Peter may see himself as weak, ashamed, and disqualified, but Jesus sees something more. He sees Peter as loved, forgiven, and capable of feeding and caring for others. Today's episode invites us to allow Christ's love to reshape the way we see our failures, ourselves, and the people around us. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Love is rooted in God. God is love's source and origin. His love is not created by our response, our prayers, our attitudes, or the work we do for him. God loves because God is love. Peter has failed terribly. He denied Jesus three times. He abandoned the courage and loyalty he believed he possessed. I imagine that Peter carried a mountain of shame after that night. He may have seen himself as a fraud, a coward, and a failure. But the risen Jesus comes looking for Peter. Jesus prepares a meal for him. He sits with him. And three times, Jesus asks, "Do you love me?" Jesus is not trying to shame Peter. He is chipping away at all the false ways Peter has come to understand himself. Peter sees his failure, but Jesus sees Peter's true life, hidden with God in Christ. Peter is loved. Peter is forgiven. Peter belongs to Christ. The rock Peter will become is quarried from the rock who is Christ himself. Peter's identity is not rooted in the worst thing he has done. His identity is rooted in Christ. Then Jesus tells him, "Feed my sheep." In other words, Peter must learn to see in others what Christ has already seen in him. The sheep will also fail. They will be afraid. They will hide. They will carry guilt and shame. Peter is to feed them with the gospel he himself has received. You are loved. You are forgiven. You belong to Christ. And now, enough about Peter. Let's talk about you. Maybe your failures have framed the way you see your life. Maybe shame has become the lens through which you understand yourself. But Jesus sees something in you that you may be struggling to see. Your real life is hidden with God in Christ. You are already loved. You are already forgiven. You are already being restored. Let Christ chip away at everything that keeps you from seeing what he sees. Then offer that same love to the frightened, ashamed, and wounded people you encounter today. Feed his sheep. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer 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

Handlers carry things into the ring that have nothing to do with today — a dog who did something years ago that the nervous system never stopped bracing for, or a mistake that fused with identity and has been traveling into every run since. This episode is about forgiveness as a performance skill: what it actually means to update the file on your dog, how to separate a mistake from who you are as a handler, and why letting go of the past isn't soft — it's strategic.

❖ Today's Bible reading is Psalm 32: www.ESV.org/Psalm32 ❖ To read along with the podcast, grab a print copy of the devotional: www.crossway.org/books/in-the-lord-i-take-refuge-hcj/ ❖ Browse other resources from Dane Ortlund: www.crossway.org/authors/dane-c-ortlund/

Our Daily Scripture Readings and Reflection: Forgiveness is one of God's greatest gifts. Frank Pavone reflects on Christ's call to forgive and how that path brings healing, freedom, and hope to every wounded heart. Daily Scripture reflections that strengthen faith and renew hope.

Our culture lies to us every day: "You're not enough! You can't keep up! There's something missing in your life!" The world can bark like a mad dog, but if you are in Christ, you have eternity. This sermon (also released as a podcast episode), unpacks Psalm 32 and some reasons to be very, very glad.

John 21:15-19

Synopsis: Jesus fulfills the Law and the Prophets to make his kingdom people the salty light of the world, who obey the living Torah, Jesus Christ. Sermon Text: Matthew 5:13-20

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into Luke 7:36–50, where a woman known publicly as a sinner enters the home of Simon the Pharisee and honors Jesus with her tears, kisses, and costly ointment. Simon judges her by her reputation, but Jesus interprets her actions as reverence flowing from a heart that understands forgiveness.

UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-0"));

True repentance must deal not only with sins against God, but also with trespasses against other people. From Luke 17, Matthew 18, and other scriptures, we learn that trespasses involve the harm, offense, injury, or dishonor we bring upon others, and that they cannot simply be ignored while claiming to be right with God. Forgiveness, restitution, humility, and reconciliation are necessary parts of walking in love, because love works no ill to its neighbor and seeks peace wherever possible. We, as believers, need to examine whether we have wronged others, seek forgiveness where needed, forgive those who have trespassed against us, and live as new creatures who fear God, love others, and stop walking carelessly over the lives of people around them.

Every failing of faith is infidelity! Forgiven, but infidelity nevertheless!

Blessed Are the ForgivenA Maskil[a] of David.32 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[b] as by the heat of summer. Selah5 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. Selah6 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. Selah8 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!+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Ryan and Fr. Carlos Martins go back into the most popular and most frustrating case of season two. A teenager freed. A holder possessed. One unconfessed mortal sin that turned a scheduled exorcism into what Martins calls a failure worthy of J.R.R.

Send us Fan MailA private journal can turn into a global ministry if you stay faithful long enough. We sit with Pastor Jude Chinwoko, CEO and pastor, to unpack how years of Bible study notes, mentorship material, and retreat insights became powerful YouVersion devotionals that spread across 132 countries in weeks and later grew into dozens of reading plans. Along the way, he shares what he learned about writing devotionals that connect, keeping your message clear, and using the YouVersion Bible app as a real discipleship tool, not just another notification on your phone.We also get honest about formation and balance. Pastor Jude explains why Christian growth is systematic, why the mind needs renewing, and how servant leadership shaped him from campus fellowship days to serving under strong spiritual leadership in Lagos. If you've ever wondered how to balance ministry and marketplace success, marriage, parenting teenagers, and entrepreneurship without burning out, he points to a simple framework: grace plus capacity built over time, with integrity at the center.Then the conversation expands into nation-building and identity. We talk about Nigeria's power sector, why he believes the country can become a regional power hub, and how Future of Power Africa is reshaping the narrative around possibility and responsible leadership. Finally, we dive into his book “Forgiven,” a message of hope and identity in Christ for anyone stuck in shame, mistakes, or background.If this resonates, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new
