Message: “You Are Not (Merely) Excused” from Adrian Schoonmaker

In “You Are Not Excused”, part four of the REAL ID series, we explore the depth of Christ's work on the cross. Far beyond simply excusing or forgiving our sin, Jesus completely canceled it, nailing our debt to the cross and silencing all condemnation. Drawing from Colossians 2:13-15, this message reveals the power and finality of God’s grace, leaving us clean, redeemed, and free to live under His victory over sin and darkness.

Each week, we’ll confront different sources of false identity and discover how to walk in the freedom and purpose that God has prepared for us. Whether you've struggled with shame, fear, or simply feeling “not enough,” this series will equip you with God’s truth to reclaim your REAL ID in Christ.
