Ep 33 - Why "You Are Not a Sinner" Misses the Gospel
Aug 2900:41:29Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we tackle the popular but dangerous phrase: "You are not a sinner." While it may sound encouraging, it actually distorts the truth of the gospel. Walking through Psalm 32 and 1 John 1 & 3, we explore why Scripture calls us to both acknowledge our sin and rejoice in Christ's forgiveness. Together, we'll unpack what it really means to live as forgiven people—honest about our brokenness, yet confident in the righteousness we have in Jesus. If you've ever wrestled with the tension of being a sinner and a saint, this conversation is for you. Community Questions (keep this conversation going!) 1) When you hear the phrase "You are not a sinner," what's your first reaction—and why? 2) How do you personally hold the tension of being both forgiven in Christ and still wrestling with sin? 3) Read Psalm 32 or 1 John 1:8–9. What stands out to you about confession and forgiveness in these passages? Find us online: www.thepennnersworhip.com www.instagram.com/the.penners

Transcribe →Ep 30 - Can Christians Have Demons? (and other questions about Deliverance) With Darrell Dyck from Deliver Us ministries
Jul 1801:25:26Tap to summarizeJoin The Penners with their first guest ever, Darrell Dyck from Deliver Us Ministries, as they talk all about Deliverance, Demons and Freedom. Answering questions like "Can Christians Be Demonized or Have Demons?", "What are some signs of Demonization?", "Where In the Bible do you see these things happening?" and "How did you go from pastoring a Mennonite Church in Southern Manitoba to starting a Deliverance Ministry?" Today's episode is packed full of Biblical answers, personal testimony and so much prayer. It's truly an episode you won't want to miss. We experienced a lot of warfare putting this episode together and truly believe that this is for someone (YOU) to hear... the enemy sure wants to stop it from getting out. From technology glitches, to being physically ill, to our dog growling at "nothing" (something demonic) at the door while editing, to being physically tugged on by an evil spirit, to headphones causing other voices to blare through, to problems with uploading... this has come to you with a lot of prayer and patience. Join us for today's conversation. We pray listening will bless you, encourage you, challenge you, and MOST OF ALL, bring you closer to Jesus.

Jul 4, 202500:30:17Tap to summarizeWelcome back to another episode of "Coffee with the Penners." On today's episode, we are talking all about whether or not the sins of your past should disqualify you from the path Jesus has for you. What does that look like in ministry? What about if you disqualify yourself? What does the Bible say about it all? Join us for another great discussion on another hard topic. Community Questions: 1) What are your immediate thoughts on this topic? Does your past disqualify you from ministry? ...From living a life filled with Jesus? 2) What if the person is in leadership?
