What If It’s Us

Jennie Allen

January 3, 2022

Jennie Allen reminds us that there is healing in confession through connecting with people, connecting with God, and saying it out loud instead of hiding behind a wall of shame. Through Christ, we have been empowered to throw off the weight and sin that entangles us so that we can run the race that God has for us.

Scripture References

1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
