Apologies for clicking in background technical error* Forgiveness is one of the deepest needs of the human heart—and one of the greatest gifts God offers us in Christ. But what does it mean to actually receive forgiveness? And how is baptism connected to that?In this episode, we explore one of the most mind-blowing moments in the Gospels: when Jesus forgave a paralyzed man’s sins before healing him. We’ll see how this shocked the religious leaders, disappointed some, and amazed the crowds. Along the way, we’ll consider why only God can forgive sins, why baptism is such a beautiful gift, and why it’s more than just a ritual—it’s a moment of new birth, healing, and allegiance to King Jesus.Whether you’re wondering if baptism is really necessary, or you’ve already been baptized and need your heart reawakened to its beauty and power, this message will help you see forgiveness for what it is: life-changing, eternity-shaping, and the greatest miracle of all.
