Penal Substitution or Selfless Offering? | Rev. Adam Hamilton | Church of the Resurrection

Описание: In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores the depth of our struggle with sin and the incredible gift of grace found in the cross of Christ. He unpacks the concept of penal substitutionary atonement, explaining how Jesus took upon Himself the punishment we deserved, offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice. Pastor Adam also discusses the power of selfless offering, showing how Christ's death was not just about punishment, but about willingly giving Himself for our redemption.

We all carry guilt and shame from our past—moments we regret, words we can’t take back, and actions we wish we could undo. But the cross reminds us that forgiveness isn’t something we earn—it’s something Jesus freely gave. No matter how deep our sins, God’s grace is deeper. He doesn’t want us to live in guilt but to walk in the freedom of His forgiveness, knowing that our sins were nailed to the cross once and for all.

This message challenges us to examine our hearts. Are we still holding on to guilt that Jesus already paid for? Are we struggling to accept the forgiveness God has already offered? Through self-reflection, confession, and surrender, we can experience the life-changing power of grace and step into the freedom that Christ died to give us.

If you’ve ever felt like your sin is too big for God to forgive, this sermon is for you. Watch now and discover how the cross changes everything.
