Life on the West Side

Identity: Accepted


Listen Later

Imagine if that terrible moment—that mistake you relive over and over again in your mind—was erased from your record. Imagine if, like in some fantastic dream, you were loved without limit and forgiven forever. Imagine if you were accepted. Loved by the God who made you. Forgiven by the God who bought you. Declared innocent by the God who died for you. Imagine if there were no stones to throw, only grace to bestow. 


The sermon today is titled "Accepted." It is the fifth installment in our "Identity" Series. The Scripture reading is from John 3:16-18, John 8:10-11, and Romans 8:1. Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on March 12, 2023. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under Discover: A New Identity.
