  4. ארך אפים - ‘The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation.’ NUMBERS 14:18
  5. We consider the year 1758, and we remember the birth of abolitionist James Stephen. The reading is from Jupiter Hammon, the first African slave to have poetry published in America, a selection from his “An Evening Thought: Salvation by Christ, with Penitential Cries."
  6. This week, Gillespie and Riley read from Dostoevsky's novel, The Idiot, and discuss the roots of the Roman Catholic church, atheism, socialism, and distinguishing between Christ and the Gospel and our own need to be God in God's place.
  7. 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!
  8. Forty men make an oath not to eat until they kill Paul and put together a plan to carry it out. The Tribune won’t go along with the plot and instead sends Paul to the Governor.
  9. You get five extra minutes in this episode as Chad and Daniel wrap up the book of Genesis. Blessings are given, Jacob dies, forgiveness is everywhere and our teeth are white with milk.
