About this episode

Pastor Zach Weihrauch discusses the concept of confession in relation to sin and our relationship with God, emphasizing forgiveness and freedom through Jesus.

This weekend, Pastor Zach walked through 1 John 1:8–10 and challenged the way we think about sin–not as rule-breaking, but as a broken relationship with God. He shows how we often lie to ourselves and hide out of fear of rejection or punishment. But the gospel offers something unexpected: we don’t have to hide anymore. Because of Jesus, confession leads not to rejection, but to forgiveness, restoration, and freedom. Looking to keep the conversation going? Learn more here.
