Is there a sin that is unforgivable? In our passage for this past Sunday, Jesus seems to suggest that "anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven." Does this mean that some people will not be forgiven by God? Is His grace not really available for all or at least all who believe? Join Pastors Sawyer and Matt as they dive into these important questions and come to a motivational and significant answer.

If we are being honest, many of us are often unhelpful in the ways that try to help others follow Jesus. We hold others to high standards, that we don't help them follow. We speak the truth without backing it up with action and don't put in the hard work to walk alongside people in their real lives. In this episode, Pastors Sawyer and Matt talk about how we can actually be helpful to others and make a kingdom impact in the lives of the people that we care about most. It may not be easy, helping people out of the deepest holes in their lives, but if we have made our way out, then it is our duty to help others do the same.
