    Proverbs 28:13 (NLT) People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.

    Big Idea:

    Confession is life-giving.

    1. Sin stubbornness fosters demise.

    Psalm 32:3-4 (NLT) When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long. Day and night Your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.

    2. Sin confession fosters freedom.

    Psalm 32:5 (NLT) Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

    3. Sin forgiveness fosters joy.

    Psalm 32:1 (NLT) Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!

    4. Sin expungement fosters empowered living.

    Psalm 32:2 (NLT) Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!

    Luke 15:1-3 (NLT) Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that He was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! So Jesus told them this story…

    Dr. Mike Decker

    Acts 12:1-3, 5 (NLT) About that time King Herod Agrippa began to persecute some believers in the church. He had the Apostle James killed with a sword. When Herod saw how much this pleased the Jewish people, he also arrested Peter. While Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.

    Big Idea:

    Prayer changes outcomes.

    1. God’s activity isn’t always recognizable.

    Acts 12:9 (NLT) So Peter left the cell, following the angel. But all the time he thought it was a vision. He didn’t realize it was actually happening.

    2. My lack of faith does not prevent God from working.

    Acts 12:13-15 (NLT) He knocked at the door in the gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to open it. When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that, instead of opening the door, she ran back inside and told everyone, “Peter is standing at the door!” “You’re out of your mind!” they said. When she insisted, they decided, “It must be his angel.”

    John 8:1-11

    Dr. Mike Decker

    John 8:7, 9-11 (NIV) When they kept on questioning [Jesus], He straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

    Big Idea:

    Jesus’ forgiveness invites me to live differently.

    1. My heart is often showcased in my activity.

    2. Look in before looking around.

    3. Forgiveness is free but it is not cheap.
