Settling the Score (Forgiveness Week 2) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Saul had been hunting David for years. Then one afternoon he walks alone into the very cave where David and his men are hiding, and David's men tell him this is the moment God promised.What David does next is the whole sermon.In part two of Forgiveness: Grace That Cost Everything, Pastor Luke Heirendt works through 1 Samuel 24 and the question most of us get wrong about forgiving people: does it mean pretending the wrong didn't matter? David cuts off a corner of Saul's robe instead of taking his
Back to the Grave? (Forgiveness - week 1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If God forgives everything, every time, with no limit, then what's actually stopping any of us from living however we want?That question sits underneath a lot of our uneasiness about grace, and most of us are too polite to say it out loud. There's a second one we don't say either: if I really have been forgiven, why do I still feel like I owe?In part one of Forgiveness, we're in Colossians 2:9-15, and Paul takes both questions apart at once.He's careful about the idea of a certificate of debt.

And the culture offers you two ways out that look like opposites and function like twins. One says enjoy it, you have earned it. The other says get disciplined, get in shape, get control of yourself. Most of us have tried both. Most of us have watched both fail, sometimes in the same week. Which raises a question worth sitting with. What if
Flesh and Blood Family (Embodied #2) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You have more ways to reach people than any generation in history, and somehow it has never been easier to go a whole week without anyone really seeing you. About half of American teenagers now use an AI companion regularly, and a third of them say those conversations are as satisfying as talking with a real friend. It is easy to shake your head at that until you notice your own version of it: the group chat that stands in for a visit, the friendship maintained entirely in reactions and replies,
