From Sunday:

Sermon: Unhindered Forgiveness

Scripture: Luke 23:32-34; 39-43

Forgiveness of sin used to come through the sacrificial system as described in the Old Testament. But Jesus changed everything, and now, through His single sacrifice on the cross, forgiveness is available to all who confess and believe. There is no longer any hindrance or obstacle to forgiveness and salvation.
