Who Do You Think You Are? Week 4: I Am FORGIVEN l Jacob Dickerson

May 3, 2026

What if the thing you keep carrying… is the very thing God already canceled?


In Week 4 of our series Who Do You Think You Are?, we dive into one of the most powerful identity statements in the book of Ephesians:


“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.” — Ephesians 1:7


So many people live weighed down by guilt, shame, and regret—constantly looking backward instead of walking forward. But the truth is, if you are in Christ, you are not defined by your past… you are defined by His grace.


In this message, we unpack:


- What redemption really means (and the price Jesus paid for you)

- The difference between guilt, shame, and forgiveness

- Why you don’t have to keep punishing yourself for what God has already forgiven

- How to actually live free, not just know you’re forgiven


Big Idea: In Christ, you are FORGIVEN—not partially, not conditionally, but completely.


If you’ve ever struggled to move on from your past or wondered if God could really forgive you… this message is for you.
