Sermon March 13 2022 "Forgiving Challenge: Confession"


Listen Later

Today we're beginning the second full week of the season of Lent and our 40-day exploration of "The Forgiving Challenge."  The focus this week is on "Confession."


We use the word "confession" two ways in the church, but they both have to do with telling the truth that we've learned from God's revelation to us in His Word.  


The first kind of "confession" has to do with truth that God tells us about HImself in the Holy Scriptures.  That truth is condensed and summarized in "confessions of faith" like the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, the catechisms, and other documents like those gathered together in the Book of Concord.


The second kind of "confession" has to do with truth that God tells us about us - that the sin that we focused on last week infects all of His creation, including every one of us, to such an extent that the only way to deal with it fully and completely was through Jesus' death on the cross.

The Forgiving Challenge follows the acronym "S.C.A.R.S."  Each week, we'll focus on the meaning behind one of these letters: "S" for "Sin" (week of March 6); "C" for "Confession" (week of March 13); "A" for "Absolution" (also known as Forgiveness; week of March 20); "R" for "Restoration" (week of March 27); and "S" for "Sanctification" (also known as Being Holy; week of April 3).  You can find out more about the Forgiving Challenge at our special website https://ctkfc2022.mystrikingly.com/ or at https://redletterchallenge.com/40-day-challenges/forgiving-challenge/
