Authority to Forgive My Sins, Part A

In the first part of this sermon, “Authority to Forgive My Sins,” we witness a paralyzed man lowered through a roof and hear the shocking words from Jesus: “Your sins are forgiven.” As we walk through Luke 5:17–26, we learn that relentless faith draws the grace of God, and revealed grace opens our eyes to who Jesus truly is: the one with authority to forgive sin completely. This grace redefines God’s intentions toward us, offering total forgiveness and welcome. When we truly receive that grace, our only right response is to glorify God with awe and joy.
