PP244 Love Righteousness & Hate Iniquity

Sin is no small thing in the eyes of God – nor should it be to us. And not only is God interested in our confession of sins to him, He calls on us to make things right with the people that we have hurt with our sin. Guest host Marcus Cain joins the podcast to help us learn these lessons from our concluding consideration of the five main Levitical offerings.

PP243 Confession

Confessing our sins to God is a basic part of the Christian life, but we still need to be taught how to do it.
