Sermon March 16 2025 - Forgiveness

Our theme for this week is “Forgiveness.”

During this season of Lent, up near our altar and under the crucifix is the word “SCARS.” We remember that after Jesus died by being nailed to the cross, when He rose from the dead He still had the nail scars on His hands. This morning we’ll remember that the word SCARS can challenge us to think about the way we forgive one another as we think about Sin, Confession, Absolution (or forgiveness), Restoration, and Sanctification (living a holy life).
