Sin and Confession

Pastor Bill Bush · Apr 5, 2026

Pastor Bill argues that humanity constantly pursues happiness and meaning with misplaced confidence — running hard after things that cannot deliver life. Using the Easter narrative from Mark 16, he shows that Jesus' death and resurrection was not the loss it appeared to be but the decisive victory over sin and death that none of us could ever achieve on our own. The only way to receive that victory is not by performing or striving, but by surrendering — confessing our sin and placing our faith in what Jesus accomplished for us.

Using the story of King David's catastrophic moral collapse in 2 Samuel 11, Pastor Pat McCalla argues that sin is never honest, always progressive, and always affects others — and that it makes even the wisest, most godly people act foolishly. The remedy is neither to minimize sin (pretending we are merely 'mistake-makers') nor to minimize Jesus (wallowing in shame and condemnation). Because Jesus is the conquering warrior king of Revelation 19 who has already finished the battle, believers can confess sin freely and run toward Him rather than away from Him.
