Podcasts about forgiveness of sins

This is an encouragement in general unto believers. We have, as I hope, upon unquestionable grounds, evinced that there is forgiveness with God; which is the hinge on which turneth the issue of our eternal condition. Now this is like himself; such as becomes him; that answers the infinite perfections of his nature; that is exercised and given forth by him as God. We are apt to narrow and straiten it by our unbelief, and to render it unbecoming of him.

Key Lessons from Jesus Faith can move obstacles – The friends of the paralytic didn't let a crowd stop them from bringing him to Jesus. Jesus has authority to forgive sins – This was shocking to the religious leaders but central to His mission. Compassion over condemnation – Jesus welcomed sinners to His table. The Sabbath is for man's benefit – It's a gift, not a burden. And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them. 3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. 5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk'? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— 11 “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.” 12 And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!” 13 He went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them. 14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him. 15 And as he reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” 18 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, “Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 19 And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.” 23 One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 25 And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?” 27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”   Mark 2:1–28, ESV Discussion: What did Jesus say in this chapter?

Don't mix too much foundation and building work together. Our foundation in dealing with God is Christ alone, mere grace and pardon in him. Our building is in and by holiness and obedience, as the fruits of that faith by which we have received the atonement. And great mistakes there are in this matter, which bring great entanglements on the souls of men. Some are all their days laying of the foundation, and are never able to build upon it unto any comfort to themselves or usefulness unto others; and the reason is, because they will be mixing with the foundation stones that are fit only for the following building.

In this inaugural episode of the new series "Kingdom Now," Pastor Karl introduces an in-depth journey through the Gospel of Matthew. Titled after Jesus's prayer in Matthew 6, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," this series explores the unique perspective of Matthew's Gospel, emphasizing the kingdom of God in an upside-down way that challenges expectations. Pastor Karl sets the stage by providing background on the four Gospels, highlighting Matthew's distinct focus on Jesus as the royal Messiah from the line of David, written specifically for a Jewish audience. He delves into Matthew's identity as a former tax collector, illustrating how Jesus transformed his life, changing his identity and direction. Through Matthew's story, Pastor Karl introduces the discipleship process of "belong, become, give, and go," encouraging listeners to reflect on their own spiritual journey. The episode focuses on Matthew 1:1-17, exploring Jesus's genealogy and its purposeful inclusion of unexpected figures, reinforcing the message that when God writes the story, nothing is a mistake. Join us as we begin this transformative study, learning how God uses broken backgrounds for His kingdom purposes. Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Read Mark 1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, 3  the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,' ” 4 John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” 9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” 12 The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him. 14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” 16 Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him. 21 And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” 28 And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee. 29 And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them. 32 That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. 33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. 35 And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. 36 And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, 37 and they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.” 38 And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.” 39 And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons. 40 And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” 41 Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” 42 And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. 43 And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” 45 But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter.   Mark 1:1-45, ESV What did Jesus say in this chapter?

The talk from our morning service on 12th Oct 2025

Are you living like the conqueror God says you are, or still fighting battles He's already won? In this sermon, Pastor James Wilson reminds us that through Jesus Christ, we are more than conquerors. Drawing from Romans 8:37-39 and Colossians 2:13-15, Pastor Wilson explains that believers have already overcome the world, the enemy, and the flesh because of Christ's ultimate victory. He encourages us to stay in “victory formation,” to focus not on past failures but on the triumph we already have in Jesus. Pastor Wilson also emphasizes the power of faith, the complete forgiveness of sins, and the importance of staying prayerful and grounded so we do not fall into the enemy's traps. True victory is not about striving to win but standing firm in the victory Jesus has already secured for you. Sermon Scriptures: Romans 8:37-39; 1 John 5:4; Colossians 2:13-15; John 16:33; Hebrews 2:14-15; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 8:33-35   We stream live every Sunday at 11 am and every Wednesday at 8 pm.

Apologies for clicking in background technical error* Forgiveness is one of the deepest needs of the human heart—and one of the greatest gifts God offers us in Christ. But what does it mean to actually receive forgiveness? And how is baptism connected to that?In this episode, we explore one of the most mind-blowing moments in the Gospels: when Jesus forgave a paralyzed man's sins before healing him. We'll see how this shocked the religious leaders, disappointed some, and amazed the crowds. Along the way, we'll consider why only God can forgive sins, why baptism is such a beautiful gift, and why it's more than just a ritual—it's a moment of new birth, healing, and allegiance to King Jesus.Whether you're wondering if baptism is really necessary, or you've already been baptized and need your heart reawakened to its beauty and power, this message will help you see forgiveness for what it is: life-changing, eternity-shaping, and the greatest miracle of all.

In this message, we'll explore not only Jesus' sovereign power and authority to heal the external, physical condition of a body affected by sin's curse, but also His sovereign power and authority to forgive the internal, spiritual condition of a soul infected by sin itself. Scripture: Matthew 9:1-8

Jai McMordie continues our Apostles' Creed series with the line ‘the forgiveness of sins.' From Luke 7:36–50, he reminds us that until we understand the weight of our sin, we cannot come close to understanding our forgiveness through Jesus. In him, guilt is met with grace, shame is lifted, and new life is given.In this sermon, Jai also shares a very personal story which may be triggering for some people. If it raises concerns, we encourage you to chat with a pastor.

Read OnlineHe said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” The others at table said to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” But he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” Luke 7:48–50These loving words from Jesus were spoken to a sinful woman who showed up unannounced at a dinner Jesus was having at the house of a Pharisee. The Pharisee looked down upon her in judgment, but she didn't care. In sorrow for her sins, she anointed Jesus' feet and humbled herself before Him, bathing His feet with her tears and drying them with her hair.The conversation ends with Jesus looking at her and telling her “Your sins are forgiven.” Note the reaction of those who were at the table. We are given an insight into their interior thoughts. They said to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” Those who have been born and raised within the faith have always understood that God forgives. We were taught this from an early age, learned much about it in preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and have heard this message throughout our lives in one form or another. But imagine never hearing about or experiencing the forgiveness of God throughout your life, and then suddenly one day you do. Imagine what these people must have been experiencing as they encountered the forgiveness of sins for the first time in the Person of Jesus as He forgave this sinful woman. They may have been a bit confused by this, but, perhaps more than anything else, they would have experienced a holy awe and amazement at what God had done. They saw this sinful woman come in, they sensed the judgment and demeaning attitude of the Pharisees, they saw her express sorrow and humiliation, and then they saw Jesus forgive her.Are you amazed at the gift of the forgiveness of your sins and the sins of others? Or do you take forgiveness for granted? The wonder and awe that the people manifested at the forgiveness of the sins of this woman should help us to examine our own attitude toward God's mercy and forgiveness. We need to continually foster within ourselves the same amazement at God's mercy that these people had. We must work to never take forgiveness for granted or to see it as just one more normal part of life. Rather, we must see it as extraordinary, ever new, ever glorious and forever awe inspiring. Reflect, today, upon the awe-inspired words of these first followers of Jesus: “Who is this who even forgives sins?” As you do, let God fill you with the deepest gratitude for the forgiveness He has offered you. Renew your appreciation for this unmerited gift from God and allow that gratitude to become the source of your ongoing amazement at the mercy of God. My forgiving Lord, Your mercy and compassion for the sinner is truly awe-inspiring. Thank You for loving me and all Your followers with a love so deep. Please fill my heart with a holy awe at Your incredible mercy. May I always be amazed at Your forgiveness and always be filled with the deepest gratitude as I experience it in my life.

The Apostles Creed- The Forgiveness of Sins. (feat Rev. Dr. Mike Plunket)Support the show

What can wash away sin and bring new life? Only the blood of Jesus. In this sermon, Pastor James Wilson unpacks the life-transforming power of Christ's blood, showing how it cleanses, heals, and reconciles us to God. Drawing from Hebrews 9:11-12 and John 20:19-22, Pastor Wilson teaches that through the blood of Jesus we receive eternal redemption and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. The message illustrates how the blood functions in the believer's life much like blood does in the human body—purging consciences, healing wounds, and sustaining spiritual life. Pastor Wilson also reminds us that accepting the blood of Jesus is the only way to salvation and eternal life. The blood of Jesus is more than a symbol—it is the foundation of redemption, healing, and eternal hope for every believer.

#44 The Allegory Story (10 Reasons Why Hebrews 9:22 Is Not About Forgiveness Of Sins)

 Listen Here

In this episode of YouChat, Fr. Chris and Eoin talk about the Virgin Mary, and forgiveness of sins within the Church. L'articolo E285 | Youchat – Eoin and Fr. Chris Garrett – Priesthood, the Virgin Mary and forgiveness of sins within the Church proviene da Radio Maria.

The Apostles' Creed mentions only one aspect of Christian living: 'the forgiveness of sins,' highlighting its central importance. Sin is attractive and pleasurable, which makes it such a persistent problem in our lives. Society has tried to eliminate guilt by removing rules, but this approach has only led to more chaos and suffering. Psalm 130 teaches that the answer to our sin problem lies not within ourselves but with God. When we humble ourselves, confess our sins, and turn to God, He responds with forgiveness, mercy, and compassion. This forgiveness frees us from guilt and enables us to serve God with reverence.

Pastor Alan R. Knapp discusses the topic of "The Forgiveness of Sins" in his series entitled "Hebrews 2020: We See Jesus (2X)" This is Increment 264 and it focuses on the following verses: Hebrews 8:8b-12

Micah 7:14-20  Luke 24:44-49

Matthew 9:1-17- The Forgiveness of Sins | Kingdom Come Bible Study Part 16 by Tim Hatch

Tonight, we come to a most critical part of the creed. This is critical for a number of reasons, not the least of which because this is the gospel. The good news is that sins can be forgiven. This is our message that we preach to the world, and we are the only ones able to proclaim it. Political organizations can preach help, but they can't preach forgiveness.  Getting the gospel wrong has led to just about every problem that the church has. We can so easily misunderstand it because we are sinners. We are born with a bias against understanding it. So we need to take the time to walk through this carefully. Some of these things are going to (hopefully) not be news to you, but this is a great opportunity to see where you heart might have missed the comfort and encouragement you are entitled to or where it has gained undue complacency that you are not entitled to.

The post Salvation by the Forgiveness of Sins – Luke 1: 59-80 appeared first on Calvary Bible Church - Wrightsville, PA.

Acts 2:37-39 - Jesus left baptism to His church as one of its most important sacraments and practices. It serves as a sign and seal of the incredible blessings He brings to His people when they believe and confess Him as Lord. It becomes a deeply powerful act of public witness to our churches and neighbors as well as an anchor point to look back on in moments of discouragement. In this message we consider Peter's command on Pentecost to "repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins..." A sermon by Cameron Heger.
