S2E32 Tough Texts: Are Some Sins Worse than Others?

Season Finale Episode! Christians often say “all sin is sin” and yet Scripture seems to speak of sins that are more serious, more destructive, and more accountable before God. So which is it? In this episode, Pastor Siyoung is joined by Pastor Jacob, Pastor Paul, and Hwihu to explore how the Bible talks about the weight of sin, the degrees of judgment, and why a right understanding guards us from both minimizing sin and drowning in it. 
It’s a conversation meant to steady believers: honest about the gravity of sin, but even more hopeful about the grace that abounds in Christ.

With pastoral care and biblical conviction, they explore how to think well about God’s justice, His purposes in history, and how to hold together the full counsel of God without flinching or flattening the truth.
