Take sin seriously. Take grace MORE seriously.

You invested in a “hot stock.” But the stock tanked, and you lost a fortune.

You quit your stable job to take a chance on a startup you really believed in. Now, the startup is fighting to stave off bankruptcy.

You tattooed her name on your shoulder. Six months later she broke off your engagement.

We all have regrets. But sometimes, those regrets aren’t just mistakes we’ve made – they’re sins we’ve committed. So how do we recover and move forward without neglecting the reality of the harm our sin does to us and those around us?

This week, we’re going to a difficult passage in a difficult book in the Old Testament to find God’s remedy for recovering from our sin in a way that enables us to move forward into a life of abundant thriving in him.

Other texts in this message: 1 John 1:9

Homework

Look for his grace throughout your day.

Ask God to help you see his grace when you can’t see it.
