Shame Cycles | Ben Young

What if the words “All is forgiven” were really true for you? Shame says you’re disqualified. Grace says come home. Forgiveness is one of the most difficult—and most freeing—realities in the Christian life. In this message, we explore Jesus’ words in the Lord’s Prayer: “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Many believe in forgiveness in theory. But few live as if it’s actually true. Through the story of the prodigal son, the cross of Christ, and the promise of Colossians 2, this sermon walks through how forgiveness brings real freedom—from guilt, from shame, and from the past.
