1. The Apostle Paul tells us that the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Can there be salvation without something to be saved from? Our sin is indeed great, but the forgiveness of our Savior is greater. It is the kindness of God that leads us to repentance. What does repentance mean?

  12. Our goal is to proclaim the genuine good news—that’s what “Gospel” means—of Christ’s forgiveness for you. We do not offer you better tips, techniques or checklists. Instead, You Are Forgiven is sermons by faithful pastors who will clearly show how you cannot be forgiven by your own efforts, no matter how well you do on your homework, your checklist of tasks. But they will also show how you are actually and already forgiven because Jesus has done all that is needed, for you!
