Forgiveness

BibleProject designed this plan to help individuals, families, and groups reflect on the biblical concept of sin. What is wrong, and what is right? And how does the Bible define sin? We look at three Hebrew words used for sin in the Bible and examine how sin is not only something we do but also something that happens to us—a force that we can choose to rule over.

BibleProject | Understanding Sin, Iniquity, & Transgression

The gift of God’s grace is boundless, both in beauty and its many dimensions. In these devotions written by incarcerated students from North Park Theological Seminary’s School of Restorative Arts program, we are inspired to freshly encounter and receive God’s grace. Through the theme of “reconciling grace,” we will pray together through the many dimensions of God’s grace. Let us be reminded that we can never fully plumb the depths of the riches of God’s amazing grace!

One Heart - Peacemakers

Judging others is easy; mercy is hard. Yet, Jesus calls us to a better path that leads from judgment to compassion and forgiveness. Over the next 7 days, we'll explore what Scripture says about the human tendency to judge, God's view of sin, and the incredible power of mercy. Together, we'll confront our critical hearts, learn how to correct others with love, and ultimately discover the freedom that comes through forgiveness. Join this journey and allow God to transform how you see others, not through the lens of judgment but with the eyes of grace.
