The Bridge Austin

Hope in the Night - Forgiveness

In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young emphasizes the necessity of forgiveness as a bridge built by God through Christ’s sacrifice, urging believers to cancel debts of offense and bitterness to experience freedom and reflect God’s mercy, highlighting that forgiveness is more for the offended than the offender and is essential for spiritual health and relational restoration.

The heaven of the heavens cannot contain the Lord. He's created the Earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the galaxies. In this message, Pastor Lutzer celebrates how God created us on this tiny planet—all within His redemption plan. There is no more fitting response than to fear Him.
