In this episode we answer some 'frequently asked questions' about forgiveness and also discuss 'how now shall we live' knowing that we are not under law and that we are completely forgiven.
In our second week in our Summer + Gospel + Wednesday series we talk about Complete Forgiveness as we answer two questions: Where are our sins? and Are we giving people a license to sin if we tell people they are already forgiven?
A follow up to our Sunday message on Confession and Repentance and a look ahead to next Sunday as we talk about forgiveness

In this episode we begin our brand new sermon series by introducing the Gospel of John. In 2021 we will work our way through the Gospel of John, learning how Jesus is the Divine Son of God, who reveals the Father, providing eternal life to those who believe in Him.
In this message we understand the truth that God blesses us more than we deserve, and how thankfulness can change our perspective and lives.
In the final episode of this series we go back to Acts 17 to explore 'the Unknown God' that Paul explains to those in Athens and how this God is contrasted to all of the other idols in their city.
In the third message in this series we look at what life is like without God. We will explore the themes in the book of Ecclesiastes and see how that without God life is meaningless, and only he can give purpose and meaning to satisfy us in this life.
In this episode we tackle the question, 'if God is a good God, then why is there so much suffering?' Suffering and evil is a fact of life, and while the Bible doesn't defend why God allows suffering to happen, it does talk about how God works in the midst of a suffering world. Many people walk way from God because of the issue of suffering, in this message we see that we don't have to walk away from God, but we can run to him.
In this new message series we look at the alarming rise of those who are leaving the church and even their faith. In the first message we explore the idea that many people walk away from God unnecessarily, and what they are walking away from really isn't God, but a wrong idea of God. We will expose these wrong ideas of God and see that we all need to walk away from them.
In the final episode in the Law and Grace series, we look at the seeming contradiction between the message of James and the message of Paul. James indicates that we are justified by our works while Paul clearly states that we are justified by faith without works. How are we to reconcile these two views? We will explore this question and more in this message.
In the third message of this series we look at the Galatian heresy and see the dangers of mixing law and grace.
Continuing our series on 'Law and Grace' we look in this episode at how we are freed from the law. Romans 6 tells us that we 'are not under law but under grace.' How are we freed from the law? What does it mean Jesus came to fulfill the law? and how is the spirit of the law fulfilled in us? We will talk about all of these in this message.
In this series we look at the controversial subject of Law and Grace. In the first message we explore three uses of the law.
In the second episode of this series, we examine the common misunderstandings about grace seeing how grace is not an excuse for sin but the answer to it. We will also look at three keys to living the Christian life under grace without the law.
In this new series we are talking about grace. Many people don't understand what God's grace is all about. Some mix grace with law. Others think grace is a license to sin. We're going to be looking at what grace is and what grace is not, and we will see that living in God's grace is living the good life!
In the final episode of this series we look at the life of Elijah and how he went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Elijah was discouraged and depressed, but God refreshed him and put him back on the right path. He can also do the same for you.
In this episode we learn not quit when it looks like the battle is lost. David was faced with a discouraging situation when he and his men could have quit and turned on each other, but David found strength for the 'second half'.
In this second message in a series we look at the life of Simon Peter. We will see his initial encounter with Jesus where Jesus changes his name from Simon to Peter. 'Simon' speaks of his old nature, characterized by his faults and failures while 'Peter' refers to who God had called him to be. If we're going to fulfill the plan of God for our lives, we must focus on who God says that we are, instead of seeing ourselves according to our human flesh.
In this new message series we will look at how God can take our setbacks, failures and defeats and use them to help us make great comebacks. In this episode, we look at how Jesus took the empty fishing nets of His disciples and turned them into nets that couldn't hold the abundance of fish that He provided for them. We will learn how to turn our empty nets into breaking nets.
In the final message of this series we look at what it means to live in the reality of the kingdom now. Jesus told his disciples that they would be empowered by the Spirit to be his witnesses. We are called to be witnesses in our world.
In this Easter episode of the Connect Church podcast, we look at the statement made by the angel at Jesus' tomb, 'He is not here, he is risen as he said.' We look at how we can know that Jesus was raised from the dead by the evidence presented. We also see how the greatest evidence is a changed life.
