You Are More Forgiven Than You Think Romans 3:22-24 “This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” I love these verses because they remind us that everybody sins. Most of us tend to be hard on ourselves, thinking we are unworthy because we are not perfect and fall short of who we think God is calling us to be. These verses remind us that we all fall short of the glory of God. Let's start at the beginning of these verses. They begin, “This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.” The verse before this was telling us that righteousness is apart from the law. Our righteousness does not come from the deeds of the law. We can not earn our own righteousness. Our righteousness comes through our faith in Jesus Christ. It doesn't say by our faith; it says through our faith. We do not earn righteousness by our faith. We receive righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ. Next, it says, “There is no difference between Jew and Gentile.” There is no difference between Jew and Gentile. We are not separate. We are one body of Christ. This was a big deal back in the early days of Christianity. The Jewish people had been God's chosen people for so long, and now Jews and Gentiles alike were being baptized and believing in Jesus. I am sure it was hard for the Jewish people to just accept others in and not feel like they were closer to God in some way. I say it was a big deal back in the day, but I think remembering that we are all one body of Christ is something we need to keep in mind even today. Back in the day, you were either Jewish or a gentile. You either believed in Christ or you didn't. Today, there are 45,000 different denominations of Christianity. It is important for us all to remember that there is one Jesus, and He died for all of our sins. God does not like some of us better than others. God loves us all; we are all one body. Next, it says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” We all think we are the only ones who sin. Or the opposite: we see the sins of others and don't look at our own sins. The verse reminds us that we all sin. None of us is getting it all right. The enemy likes to make us think that Jesus died for everyone else's sins, but not ours. Ours are too bad. No one else has sinned as badly as we have sinned. We should just hold onto our sins. This is a lie. There is nothing you can do that is bigger than Jesus's sacrifice on that cross. Also, your sins are not worse than anyone else's. When looking up these verses on the EnduringWord.com commentary, I found this quote from Leon Morris, who was quoting Handley Moule: “The harlot, the liar, the murderer, are short of it; but so are you. Perhaps they stand at the bottom of a mine, and you on the crest of an Alp; but you are as little able to touch the stars as they.” Everyone falls short, but everyone can be justified freely by His grace. I think the second part of this verse is just as important as the first part, and I think sometimes we stop before we get to the second part. We think about how we all fall short, and then we think to ourselves, “What's the point of even trying. If we are all going to get it wrong, then why should we try to be good? Why should we try to do the right thing?” This is the part that can get stuck in our heads. Especially if we decide that we are going to try to do better than we have been. All of a sudden, our mind tells us it is not worth the effort. It tells us we will just fail. It tells us not to bother. When this happens to us, not if, but when, we can remember the second half of this verse. “All are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” We may all sin, but we are also all forgiven by the Grace of God through the sacrifice of Jesus. We don't have to do anything to deserve our forgiveness. Jesus did that for us when He died on the cross. What we are doing when we are trying our best to live the way God wants us to is we are saying, thank you, Jesus, I know what you did, and I am so grateful. We are not trying to earn our forgiveness; it is already ours. But we can try to show Jesus we are grateful. We can try to show Jesus that His sacrifice was not in vain, and we are trying to live as God wants us to live. There are three things I want you to take away from today's episode. First, we are the same, Gentile or Jew. There is no difference. God loves us all. This applies to all 45,000 denominations of Christianity as well. There is no difference; God loves us all. Even if you don't believe in Christ or believe in God, He still loves you! Second, we all sin. It is a fact. There are no perfect people in this world. Even if people look perfect on their social media accounts, there is no one who is perfect this side of heaven. We all sin! And last, but not least, Jesus died on the cross to make up for our sins. Yours and mine. All of them. His sacrifice was enough to cover anything we might have done. There is nothing that we have to do to earn freedom from our sins. It was freely given by the Father through His only Son. Jesus paid the ultimate price so that we wouldn't have to. Thank you, Jesus!! Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless each person listening to this episode. Lord, you are amazing. Thank you so much for asking Jesus to take our sins to the cross. Thank you, Jesus, for taking our sins to the cross. Lord, it is hard to fathom that kind of love. Please help us to understand it. Please help us to feel that love with our whole bodies. Lord, please help us take it to heart that we are forgiven. Help us to really believe that our sins are forgiven. Help us to bring our sins to you and not hide them from you. Help us to stop believing the voice in our head that tells us we won't be forgiven. Help us, Lord! We love you, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name. Amen! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I wanted to take a minute today to explain a little more about what happens during our Tuesday night mentoring sessions. When you are able to attend the live Zoom meetings, I truly encourage you to come. We are building a beautiful community where people can grow in faith, share honestly, and feel a little less alone. But even if you cannot attend live, mentoring can still be incredibly valuable. Every session is recorded, so you can watch the replay whenever it works for you. Each month, we focus on one central topic, and every week, we take a 30-minute deep dive that helps us understand it more fully and apply it to our everyday lives and relationship with the Lord. Maybe you have been considering mentoring, but the idea of joining a Zoom call makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable. You are welcome to join and begin by simply watching the replays. There is no pressure to participate before you are ready. My prayer is that mentoring will help you grow closer to the Lord, understand His love more deeply, and learn how to walk with Him through whatever you are facing. Pray about it, and when you are ready to take your relationship with the Lord to a deeper level, CLICK HERE to learn more and join us. I look forward to seeing you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as ou are and so do I! Have a blessed day! Today's Word from the Lord was received in January 2026 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group. If you have any questions about the prayer group, these words, or how to join us for a meeting, please email CatholicCharismaticPrayerGroup@gmail.com.

Our identity is in Christ is multi-faceted, centered on God's love for each of us and on the lengths to which He has gone to restore our relationship. That restored relationship is made possible by the coming of Jesus to reveal His Kingdom and His core identity as King of the Universe. The life He brings through His own life, death, burial, and climactic resurrection constitutes God's Good News for the human race. We are recipients and benefactors of God's Good NEWS, and are made the primary messengers of that NEWS to the world around us as we NARRATE the story, EXPRESS the story's primary point, relay WHAT we should do in response to it, and convey the SIGNIFICANCE of the SALVATION given us when we respond to God's invitation. We are not merely on a quest for self-improvement or in an evangelism program. Our pursuit of our identity as followers AND sharers of Christ must start in our prayers calling on God to work in and through us.To investigate this most important of stories further, go here.

Sermon by Brandon Clements on July 19, 2026. Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13 & 18:23-35 “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” is both a prayer for mercy and an invitation to examine our hearts. God's forgiveness flows into us through Christ and, when truly received, begins to flow through us toward others.

Pastor Neil continues the "GIVE ME THE FREEDOM" series with a message titled “SPELL BOUND AND CURSED TO FORGIVEN AND SET FREE” from Galatians 3:1–3 Paul warns the Galatian believers not to be deceived into turning from the freedom found in Christ back to trusting in their own efforts. This message will reveal how easily we can become distracted from the truth of the gospel and remind us that we are forgiven and set free by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

The heart of the Gospel is that Christ died for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:3). Central to the Incarnation, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Jesus is that we need the forgiveness He provided for us to be made right with God. But what about our forgiving each other? One of the Hard Sayings of a Kind Savior is that Jesus said we cannot be forgiven unless we forgive others. Really? Join us as we wrestle with this theme, but even more as we search our own hearts. Having received forgiveness from God, are we willing to forgive each other?

We're in John 8, exploring the story of a woman caught in adultery, where Jesus refuses to join the angry mob and instead meets her brokenness with grace. If you have ever felt condemned by others, or piled shame on yourself over your past, this message is a reminder that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ. We unpack what it means to "drop our stones" and live open-handed with humility, charity, and empathy in a divided world. This is part of the abundant life Jesus promises, a life that is more than we can imagine no matter our circumstances. Speaker: Ben Horseman

The Lord’s Prayer: Part 5 - Forgiven and Forgiving It’s hard to admit we need forgiveness. We often don’t live up to our own standards—let alone God’s. Which is why the New Testament authors remind us over and over again about our need for forgiveness. But it doesn’t stop there; when we realize God forgives us, and what it cost him to do that, we should aspire to forgive. Jesus knew this wouldn’t be easy for us and reminds us to pray about it by linking our own forgiven-ness to forgiving others.

Pastor Travis continues this series expounding on the practice, "Forgiven much, forgive much!"

Passage: Matthew 18:21-35 (NIV), Speaker: Rev. Kyuboem Lee, Series: Discipleship with Jesus

Matthew 9:1-8

Due to our sin and its stain, we must grapple with the reality of being unholy creatures facing the justice of holy God. Thankfully, in Jesus, we have a source of hope. Through two amazing stories of Jesus healing the physically sick, Luke teaches us that Jesus has the power and desire to heal and cleanse us of the much greater problem of sin. Therefore, we can confidently go to Jesus in faith and expect and trust that he will forgive us our sins.

Send us Fan MailThe podcast explores the dramatic life of King Manasseh of Judah, widely considered one of the most wicked kings in biblical history, as a profound demonstration of God's grace, mercy, and willingness to forgive even the worst of sinners. It also serves as a cautionary tale about parental influence and legacy.Major Points from the NarrativeA Long, Wicked Reign: Manasseh became king at just 12 years old and ruled Jerusalem for 55 years—the longest reign of any Judean king. He completely reversed the godly reforms of his father, King Hezekiah, by rebuilding pagan high places, practicing sorcery, consulting mediums, desecrating the Temple with idols, and even sacrificing his own sons.Divine Judgment and Captivity: Because Manasseh and the people ignored God's prophets, the Assyrian army captured Manasseh "with hooks," bound him in bronze chains, and exiled him to Babylon.Repentance and Restored Grace: In his severe distress, Manasseh humbled himself and prayed fervently to God. Highlighting a reading from the Apocrypha text The Prayer of Manasseh, the podcast underscores his deep confession of guilt. God answered his plea, forgave him, and remarkably restored him to his throne in Jerusalem.Later Reforms: Following his restoration, Manasseh spent his remaining years tearing down the pagan idols he built, fortifying Jerusalem's defenses, and commanding Judah to serve Yahweh.The Long Shadow of a Parent's Legacy: Though Manasseh repented, his son Amon chose to imitate the wicked, idolatrous years of his father's youth rather than his later years of righteousness. Amon refused to humble himself and was assassinated after a brief two-year reign, which ultimately paved the way for the godly King Josiah.Practical Applications for Listeners1. No One is Beyond the Reach of God's Grace. The primary spiritual takeaway is that God is exceptionally compassionate, patient, and ready to grant remission of sins to anyone who genuinely repents. If the "most wicked king" could be forgiven and saved, no listener has sinned too deeply to turn back to God.2. Pay Attention to Divine Warnings The narrative warns against spiritual stubbornness. Listeners are urged to pay attention when rebuked by God—whether through scripture, preaching, or life circumstances—and to pivot quickly rather than ignoring the warnings as Manasseh initially did.3. The Reality of Parental Influence The episode highlights how a parent's early life of rebellion can deeply impact their children. Children often mimic a parent's worst seasons rather than their later corrections.4. Intercede for the Next Generation For listeners who may have come to faith later in life and worry about the negative influence they previously had on their children, the speaker exhorts them to turn to fervent prayer—asking God to awaken their children, show them mercy, and break the cycle of generational sin.Bible Insights with  Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

A sermon from Psalm 32

Forgiven to Forgive Rev. Rick Harper, Matt. 6:12, 14-15 Click here for bulletin

The cross is the center of history and the invitation to every disciple. Jesus calls His followers not only to receive His sacrifice but to take up their own cross and follow Him. At Calvary He refused relief, willingly endured the full weight of sin out of love, and fulfilled centuries of prophecy, proving that God's plan of redemption was unfolding exactly as promised. When He cried from Psalm 22, He revealed that the Good Shepherd was laying down His life for His sheep. The torn veil declared that through Christ, everyone now has direct access to God. His resurrection transformed despair into hope, highlighted by the angel's gracious words, “and Peter,” reminding us that failure is never the final word. Forgiven people become sent people, called to proclaim the gospel to the world. As we remember Christ through communion, we celebrate that our sin has been removed, our relationship with God restored, and our lives commissioned to bear witness to His saving grace.
