Who is Forgiveness Owed To?
The sermon argues that biblical forgiveness is conditional upon genuine repentance, rejecting the concept of unconditional forgiveness often promoted by secular culture. By examining Old and New Testament scriptures, the preacher demonstrates that God forgives only after sinners turn from their wicked ways, establishing a clear pattern for human relationships. The message emphasizes that true repentance involves a fundamental change of mind and lifestyle, leading to authentic reconciliation between offended parties. Using examples like Joseph and Christ, the text illustrates that while believers are called to love enemies through compassion, forgiveness itself requires the offender's admission of guilt. Ultimately, the central thesis asserts that no repentance results in no forgiveness, making this sequence essential for restoring broken relationships.

A Family Affair
Have you ever wondered why every one of us is a sinner—not merely because we sin, but because we were born that way? God appointed Adam as the covenant head of the human race. The covenant of works was made with him not only for himself but for all who would descend from him. When Adam willfully disobeyed, his guilt was imputed to us and a corrupted nature was conveyed to us. That is original sin: the guilt of Adam's first transgression and the inherited corruption of our whole nature. Death spread to all people because all sinned in Adam. This is not merely a dark doctrine. It is the necessary backdrop that makes the gospel shine. There is a last Adam. Where the first Adam's disobedience made many sinners, the obedience of Jesus Christ makes many righteous. Join us as we open Scripture together on Adam's covenant headship and original sin—and see why this truth drives us to the only Head who can save.
