Amazing Grace | Seventy Times Seven - Season 5, Episode 20
When someone wounds you deeply, how many times are you expected to forgive? Is there a limit to grace when the offense feels unforgivable? In this message, Pastor Andrew examines Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:21–35, showing that those who have received immeasurable mercy must extend that same mercy to others. He confronts the instinct for retaliation and exposes how unforgiveness binds the heart, while forgiveness reflects the compassion of God. Grace, though unnatural to the flesh, is cultivated through dependence upon Christ. Listeners are challenged to release resentment, trust God’s justice, and practice forgiveness as an act of obedience, worship, and freedom.

Amazing Grace | The Amazing Grace of the Waiting Father - Season 5, Episode 18
Have you ever felt so far gone in rebellion, failure, or shame that returning to God—or to anyone—seems impossible, or wondered why the church sometimes feels like the last place offering true forgiveness? In Luke 15:11-32, Pastor Ben examines Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son, where a rebellious younger son squanders his inheritance in reckless living, hits rock bottom feeding pigs, and returns home expecting only servitude—yet encounters a father who runs to embrace him, restores him fully with robe, ring, and feast, declaring him alive and found. The sermon shows that God’s grace is unconditional love that neither increases with our performance nor decreases with our sin; it cost the Father everything at the cross and offers forgiveness freely to the undeserving. Recognize your own rebellion or self-righteous striving, receive God’s extravagant grace without earning it, and extend that same unmerited forgiveness and compassion to others who need it most.
