What do you do with your guilt? Guilt and shame are something that we all carry at times. These things are a result of our brokenness. How do you handle the guilt that builds itself like plaque on your soul? In this message, Jeff looks at the power of atonement. Not only is it an incredible description for God’s desire for humanity, but it’s also a picture of why and how God wants to meet us in our guilt and shame and show us a way forward.
Every day you face situations that you aren’t sure how to handle, and the relational challenges are the hardest. What filter could you use to live your life the right way?

In this series, we’re going to help you break down these weird church words and discover meaning for the deepest desires in your soul.

There are moments in our lives that will define us. This is that type of moment for us as individuals and as a church. We’ve seen the heart of God by looking at what he searches for and what he celebrates - but how will we respond? Let’s join him on the mission of being FOR those around us and welcoming them home.
