Killing the Rumor

“I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” — Jeremiah 31:34

What if the reason you keep hiding — or keep performing, or quit trying altogether — isn’t really about your sin, but about a rumor you’ve believed about God since the garden? A father, humiliated by a morning phone call from his boss, throws his coffee cup across his daughter’s room. It didn’t change her. It hardened her. And that’s the God many of you still believe in.

In Part 2 of Restored, Pastor Mark draws from Genesis 3, Genesis 15, and Jeremiah 31 to show what God actually did when He cut covenant with Abram: He walked the bloody path alone while the man slept, and swore both sides of the oath. You’ll see why the good kid and the wild kid learned exactly the same lesson, why you can repent of the fruit and still believe the rumor, and how to start trusting a Father who was never holding out on you.
