❤️ At Real Life Church we exist to lead our community to life transformation found only in Jesus

💒 Real Life Church is a Jesus church in Yuma, Arizona

In this special Easter Sunday episode, we launch a new series on the 7 final statements of Jesus from the cross, beginning with:

✝️ “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)

This message dives deep into how guilt can silently destroy your joy, peace, and relationship with God — and how Jesus’ words offer a path to total forgiveness and freedom.

💔 Struggling with guilt from your past?
🤯 Feel like you can’t shake that heavy feeling no matter what you do?
🙏 Jesus didn’t go to the cross for you to carry that.

Pastor Bob shows how to stop burying guilt, stop blaming others, stop beating yourself up — and finally walk in freedom through confession, forgiveness, and grace.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why guilt is like a zombie — and how to kill it for good
• 3 toxic ways we try to manage guilt
• What Psalm 32 & Psalm 51 say about healing
• The instant and complete forgiveness offered through Jesus
• Why confession to others can be a powerful step toward healing

📖 Featured Scriptures:
Luke 23, Psalm 32, Psalm 51, 1 John 1:9

#HolyWeek #EasterSunday #RealLifeChurch #ResurrectionSunday #PalmSunday #Luke22 #Luke23 #GoodFriday #Easter2025

Welcome to Real Life Church with Pastor Bob! In this powerful message from our “Footsteps of Jesus: The Path to the Cross” Easter series, we dive into the critical 20 hours leading to the crucifixion of Christ.

📖 This week’s focus? The unjust, illegal, and spiritually significant trials of Jesus after His betrayal by Judas. From the silence of the Son of God in the face of false accusations, to His bold declaration before the High Priest — we uncover the meaning of true humility and what it means to completely depend on God.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Why Jesus’ trials violated Jewish law
• The strength behind Jesus’ silence
• What humility really means in a pride-driven world
• How to approach God with reverence, prayer, and surrender
• The challenge of living with Christ-like humility today

🙌 Whether you're preparing your heart for Easter, or seeking a deeper understanding of Jesus' journey to the cross, this sermon will inspire, challenge, and encourage your faith walk.

📍Recorded in Yuma, Arizona | Easter Season

🕊️ Let this message remind you that true strength is found in surrender.
