At first I thought some apocalyptic event had hit our town. Schools were all empty, there wasn't a school bus in sight, lots of people suddenly disappeared. Not to worry. It was just Spring Break. Of course, for many of America's young people, Spring Break is code for "party like there's no tomorrow, baby." Well, after downing lots of booze and sometimes drugs, your internal censors just go off duty. So a lot of folks come back from break with little memory of some big mistakes. Partying that lasts for a night; regrets and scars that can last a lifetime. Going for "break" and coming back broken. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Timeout Tragedies." There's this lie that sets people up for expensive choices, hurtful choices. What you do when you're away, or when you're alone, or when you're anonymous doesn't count. It's not just a lie students fall for. Businessmen on trips, women home alone, guys on the Internet, girls texting, people on vacation or at a party. I'm almost sure there's someone listening right now who would do anything to erase what they did when they believed it wouldn't matter. It does, doesn't it? Because while you can turn off your internal controls, you can't turn off your conscience. It picks up every wrong thing we do - or, in God's vocabulary, every sin. As observed by the wife of a governor who was disgraced by the discovery of his long - distance affair, she said, "You can pick your sin; you can't pick your consequences." It's so true. So your conscience is always running and so is your calculator. It's adding up the consequences, because as the Bible says, "whatever a man sows, he reaps." That's an inescapable law of the universe. Worst of all, the camera's always running, too. In our word for today from the Word of God, God's camera is described this way, "A man's ways are in full view of the Lord, and He examines all his paths." You know that "Sin City" commercial that says, "What you do here stays here"? No, forget about it! If God knows, you're caught. Oh, believe me, God knows. It doesn't matter how drunk you are, how depressed you are, how devious you are, how deserving you think you are. The Bible says, "be sure your sin will find you out" (Numbers 32:23). So, first the thrill, then the bill. The fear of discovery, the trail of cover-up deceit, the guilt, the shame, the loss of self-respect, the ugly consequences, and the judgment of Almighty God. "For," as the Bible says, "God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil" (Ecclesiastes 12:14). See, nothing good happens when we blow past God's stop signs. That's why we've got to run from the rocks that we've been drifting toward and saying "no!" to that seductive, but devilish voice that says "Forget about tomorrow; now is all that matters." Oh, tomorrow really does matter. But what about the memories? What about the shame of the mistakes that it's too late to change? Well, there's hope in a word called "forgiven." The very God whose plans for us we trash has made this stunning promise: "I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more" (Hebrews 8:12). Like the wonderful feeling of a shower when you're disgustingly dirty, God says He'll make us clean inside; every sin erased from His book, with our eternal sin-bill paid in full because of a cross. Where Jesus, God's one and only Son, in the Bible's words, "carried our sins in His own body on the tree" (1 Peter 2:24) and He absorbed the judgment I deserve: The choices that accuse us. Gone! Forgiven! That's what happens when a sinner grabs the Savior. It's nothing less than a new beginning. And that's why our website is called ANewStory.com. It's where you can find the information that will help you begin your new story with Jesus Christ. Please go there. The rebirth miracle is within your reach right now if you'll just tell Jesus, "I'm Yours from today on."

Peter was following at a distance. And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with Him.” But he denied it … And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter … went out and wept bitterly. (Luke 22:54b-57a, 61a, 62b)

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are answering another question related to forgiveness. Will God judge us for sins He has forgiven? When we […] The post How Can God Judge Us for Sins He Has Forgiven? appeared first on Grace Evangelical Society.

In this homily The Rt. Rev. Dr. Justin S. Holcomb, Bishop ofthe Diocese of Central Florida - during his visitation to St. George Episcopal Church - addresses the message in the reading from Romans. He says that all of us are longing for peace and reconciliation. We must trust that all is forgiven. God loves you because you are His and He wants you now – not a future better version. We have been reconciled to Him. Because of this, God will never stop loving you.Send comments to: musingsonfaith@gmail.com.

Mother Miriam Live - March 2nd, 2026 Mother reads from a Lenten sermon that discusses our Lord's divinity and humanity, as well as the need for us to forgive to be forgiven. Mother speaks to callers asking how to pray over nonverbal children, sharing the pain of an estranged child, and asking whether to write down sins before confession to avoid forgetting any. She also answers email and YouTube questions about why Jesus has not returned yet, problems with the Traditional Catholic movement, and telling unsupportive relatives about your call to religious vocation.

Churches say they want hard conversations. They say they're ready to change. And then the STM arrives. Part 2 of the STM roundtable with Roger Sparks and Harv Roosma moves from the structure of this ministry into the raw material they actually work with: human nature. Forgiven, being sanctified, still human. People talk, Roger says plainly, as long as they sense you're going to agree with them. The real work begins when you don't. The surface issues vary — declining attendance, unaddressed conflict, gender disagreements, councils stretched thin, vision that's gone fuzzy. But underneath almost all of it is the same thing: a trust deficit. When trust breaks down, everything else follows. And Jason, who has watched more church conflict than most as a stated clerk, names the failure mode he's seen destroy congregations: when councils start deciding what to share and what to control, the congregation already knows. Trust, once lost, is very hard to get back. The antidote isn't a program. It's the thing Roger keeps coming back to — talk to each other instead of about each other. Pray for each other, not just about each other. Harv talks about the profound satisfaction of preaching on forgiveness, feeling the pushback from people who aren't sure they want to go there, and watching something break open. Roger talks about the honor of being trusted with someone's pain. Both talk about the same miracle: you walk in as strangers and leave as friends. When Dan asks what settled pastors can do to protect their churches, the answers are disarmingly simple — be honest, go talk to people yourself, don't give anyone a stick to hit you with, love your Bible, love your people, practice humility over flash, keep vision sharp, and address things before they fester. **Timestamps:** - 0:00 — Intro - 1:06 — Harv: trust building before the hard questions - 2:20 — Roger: human nature — people talk as long as they think you'll agree - 2:51 — The goal: not agreement, but understanding - 3:27 — When trust is the core problem - 4:13 — Common issues: communication (Roger) - 5:57 — Harv: declining attendance, gender conflict, leadership gaps, unaddressed issues, vision ambiguity - 8:13 — Jason: communication and trust as the underlying root - 9:11 — How to work through a trust deficit - 10:34 — "Pray for each other, not just about each other" - 11:28 — The joys of STM ministry - 12:40 — Harv: the joy of walking a church through forgiveness - 13:20 — Roger: the honor of being trusted with someone's pain - 14:42 — "You come as strangers, and through the miracle of the gospel, you leave as friends" - 15:36 — What can settled pastors do to protect their churches? - 16:23 — Roger: be honest, go talk to people, love the Bible and love people, humility over flash - 18:31 — Harv: clarify vision, gospel focus, train leaders, address issues - 19:49 — Communication deep dive: council transparency - 22:39 — Jason: when councils control the narrative, trust evaporates - 23:40 — Harv: listening groups and solution thinking - 26:25 — Roger: don't treat STM as a stigma - 27:09 — Harv: we have so much to celebrate; God is doing great things - 28:13 — Jason: if God is calling you to STM, reach out to Roger, Harv, or PCR Join and support us on Substack: https://themessyreformation.com/ Intro music by Matt Krotzer

Communion is a celebration, not an infestation of examination! Discussion Questions: Why do you think so many churches have turned a celebration into an examination? What was the real problem at the Lord's Supper in Corinth? How do we know? React to this statement: We keep trying to qualify for a supper celebrating that we're qualified! React to this statement: The instruction Paul gives the Corinthians is to examine how they celebrate, eat at home first, and wait for one another. What might the average Christian be thinking is "happening" each time at the Lord's Supper? What would you say to them in light of the truth? What does the Lord's Supper mean to you personally? Why? What was the biggest takeaway from this message for you?

Psalm 32 – David describes the blessedness of being forgiven by God and the need of trusting in God.  The 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting 10:16 mark.Being forgiven by God is a profound gift, and the Bible highlights the joy and freedom we receive through that forgiveness.  When we repent, God forgives us as He is merciful.  When we do not repent in front of others and God, it increases our stress and guilt as our heart becomes heavy.  David experienced the heaviness of heart when he hid his sin after arranging the death of the husband of Bathsheba(2nd Samuel chapter 11).  As God loved David, He sent Nathan to rebuke David for taking Bathsheba as his wife after arranging the death of her husband Uriah(2nd Samuel chapter 12). Through Nathan, God informed David about the punishment he had  to go through.  This led David to repentance.  The benefits of confessing our sins and the positive results of forgiving one another are discussed.My name...

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.   Text “riseup” to 84576 to receive the daily reflection by text or email.   #RiseUpSeries #LentReflection #Catholic #Forgiveness #ChristianLiving #DailyGospel #FaithJourney #LetGo #Mercy #CatholicYouTube

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.

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?

Forgiven! by Saylorville Church

Message by Pastor Josh Heltonhbcmolino.com

February 15, 2026 - Rev. Alexander S. Brown

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.
