Podcasts about forgiven

While 63% of Americans identify as Christian, only 4% actually live as disciples whose faith shapes their daily decisions. That means many are calling Jesus Savior, but few are following Him as Lord. This week marks the beginning of a series designed to reintroduce us to the habits of Jesus, not as religious tasks, but as the pathway to genuine transformation. When a rabbi said “follow me,” it meant something tangible: come be with me, watch how I live, learn how I pray, rest, love, and obey. Jesus didn't just forgive us; He formed us. And spiritual formation isn't about trying harder. It's about learning to live differently. We fail not because we don't want to grow, but because we often rely on willpower, more information, or one spiritual high to carry us. That's not how Jesus formed people. He taught truth, lived in community, modeled practices, and gave us His Spirit. The call of discipleship is to be with Him, become like Him, and do what He did. And that starts right here.

In this New Year's Day best-of show,  let's looks at forgiveness.  Micah Davis, author "Three Strikes, You're Forgiven," shares the story of his family's broken past, and the power of forgiveness to free us and others to thrive in God's grace. Pastor James Runcorn, host of the Hodgepodge Theology podcast and author of "The Blog of a Forgiven Cheater," shares his story about cheating on his wife, how after over 30 years in church she offered a level of grace and forgiveness that blew his mind and changed his life.

One of the dangers of telling the Christmas story (or Easter, or how your grandparents walked from home to school uphill both ways...) as often as we do is that the stunning, mind-blowing aspects of God becoming human - and all that that means - can become ordinary and unremarkable. In this message we ask John in his prologue (John 1:1-14) and Paul in his use of an ancient Christian hymn (Phil 2:5-11) to help refresh our wonder. To investigate this most important of stories further, go here.

God doesn't just rescue us so we can sit safely forever. He restores us so we can participate in His work of restoration. Forgiven people become sent people. Jesus didn't merely pay our debt; He came to restore what sin had ruined. In short, Redemption frees us from sin; Restoration brings us back to life. ·  Restored relationship. ·  Restored identity. ·  Restored health. ·  Restored authority. ·  Restored purpose. This is not a different gospel. It is the rest of the story.

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, wise men from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star at its rising and have come to worship him.” Matthew 2:1-2 CSBWhen they saw the star, they were overwhelmed with joy.

“Gratitude Guaranteed” Colossians 1:12-14              December 28, 2025 Pastor Nathan Currey    ----more---- Colossians 1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. [13] He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, [14] in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.   Because God is author and finisher of our salvation, thanksgiving is inevitable, not optional.           1. Qualified           2. Delivered           3. Transferred           4. Redeemed           5. Forgiven

We must forgive each other because God forgave us. Peter asks Jesus about forgiveness and the response he receives is that it is a lifestyle for the believer. Then the parable of the Unforgiving Servant teaches us that God is gracious to forgive our debts so that we can always forgive each other. FORGIVENESS DEFINED FORGIVENESS SHOWN FORGIVENESS EXPECTED

When Jesus was trying to preach in Capernaum, the crowd was so thick that so men got their paralyzed friend in front of Jesus by breaking through the roof. Jesus first forgave the man of his sins. That caused the Scribes to think Jesus was declaring He was God. He was! Then He proved it by telling the man to rise, pick up his bed and walk. The greater miracle was the forgiveness of sins. Have you experience it?

How do we calculate "3 days and 3 nights" if Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? Did Moses lose his salvation in Deuteronomy 32 when he disobeyed God? I'm continually surprised at how many Christians don't fully trust in the finished work of Christ! How can I help them with 1 John 1:9? It seems to be the major obstacle for them.

Welcome to Ask FGBC Batch 6! Pastors Jim Butler and Cam Porter tackle 11 theological questions covering baptism, faith, Bible reading, church membership, seminary training, and more—all from a confessional Reformed Baptist perspective rooted in Scripture and the 1689 London Baptist Confession.

Must Christians forgive every offense and confess every sin to receive God's forgiveness?  No, our forgiveness is once for all, because it's based on the death of our Savior.

Woe to us when we believe that we are basically "good people" who don't need God's mercy that Jesus died to give us!Homily for the 4th Sunday of Advent, Year A

Why did Christmas have to be the way it was?The birth of Jesus was so unconventional and so unexpected that even good Jewish people, who had been anticipating the coming of Messiah their whole lives, missed it. Galatians 4:4-6 tells us that there was a plan and that God was waiting for the right time. One version calls it the fullness of time. If God had a plan for WHEN it was going to happen, don’t you think there must have also been a plan for HOW it was supposed to happen and — more importantly — for WHY it had to happen the way it did? This week, we’re looking at Jesus’s life, talking about Christmas the way it had to be and exploring the big picture God was trying to accomplish.

According to much of Scripture on forgiveness, the one who needs forgiveness, needs to ask for forgiveness in order to receive it. But there is another kind of forgiveness.

Forgiven, we are indestructible. Satan's plan was to condemn God's followers in God's own courtroom. But now, in Christ, there is no condemnation.

I misrepresented my motives for marriage years ago. Am I forgiven by God for the sin of dishonesty? How do we convince others of the finished work of Christ? What about 1 John 1:9? Who is it written to? How can we know for sure?

In the wake of the devastating deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, family friends paint a heartbreaking portrait of two parents defined by unconditional love. Sources tell me the couple would have forgiven their son Nick “one hundred percent, without question,” even in the face of the unthinkable. At the same time, insiders say Nick long felt crushed by the weight of the Reiner name, resentful of living in the shadow of both his legendary father and grandfather, Carl Reiner. Close friend Maria Shriver echoed that complexity in an emotional tribute, remembering Rob and Michele as parents who “never stopped trying to be great,” no matter how difficult the journey became Don't forget to vote in today's poll on Twitter at @naughtynicerob or in our Facebook group.

When we sincerely repent, God's mercy covers us. He not only forgives but chooses to remember our sins no more. His grace wipes the slate clean, reminding us that in Christ, we are free and restored.

This Sunday is Commitment Sunday! In this week's message, we want to ask the question: What amazes Jesus? We know that Jesus is amazing—but what amazes Him? As we look again at the story in Mark 2, we discover that people's faith amazes Jesus. Every time people do extraordinary things on behalf of someone else to demonstrate their faith in Him, He is amazed. We see this in the story of the paralytic, where Jesus was amazed by the faith of the friends.During this message, Pastor Jeff Moes presents the  opportunity to bring forward your commitment card. You'll have the ability to demonstrate your family's faith and trust in Jesus by making a three-year financial pledge and committing to reach one person who doesn't yet know Him. Please come pray over your One & your commitment. There is a link below to bring forth your commitment below.--Commit HereWebsiteFacebookInstagramSunday SetlistConnect with us!How can we prayer for you? Let us know.

The whole world asks what is an essential spiritual question: How can I be forgiven? Fortunately, Scripture is not silent on the answer.Psalm 39 finds David sinning in his HOT HEART. He thinks he's OK, but the Lord STRIKES HIM suddenly, and he is hit with the reality of his transgression. He then teaches us what to do when we find ourselves on the short end of sin.This might be the most important psalm, for the techniques revealed, that you will ever consider.Subscribe and comment if you agree: https://youtu.be/HDW48jGnUqw

Share a commentEver felt the urge to make amends with God by doing more, promising harder, or waiting out your guilt? We go straight at that instinct and uncover why it can't save you—and why Scripture offers something far better: forgiveness that is carried away, covered, and never counted against you. Drawing from Romans 3–4 and David's confession in Psalm 32, we unpack three powerful words that reframe everything: forgiven, covered, and not accounted.We start with the long human history of sacrifice, from ancient rituals to the modern notion that suffering can burn off sin. Then we hold it up to the light of the gospel. The Day of Atonement wasn't theater; it was a preview. The slain goat and the scapegoat point to Jesus, the Lamb of God who bears our guilt beyond reach. The mercy seat, stained with blood above the broken law, foreshadows the cross where justice and mercy meet. And Paul's accounting term in Romans 4—imputed—shows how God not only erases the debt but credits the perfect righteousness of Christ to our ledger.The implications are deeply personal. God knows every future failure and still loves you because the cost has already been paid. You don't have to bribe heaven with effort or endure an imagined middle state to purge what Christ finished. Assurance grows where the ledger is settled and the Savior's work is final. That frees us from despair over past sins and from pride in present efforts. It also anchors everyday obedience in gratitude, not fear: we pursue holiness because we're accepted, not to get accepted.If you've wondered whether grace can hold up under the weight of real life, this message is for you. Listen to find fresh clarity on justification by faith, the end of spiritual bookkeeping, and the peace that comes when your record shows only Christ's righteousness. If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help others find these truths.Support the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback
