Three Kinds of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood commands in Scripture. Many believers wrestle with guilt, confusion, or pain because they’ve been taught that forgiveness means forgetting, trusting again, or tolerating abuse. In this sermon, Dr. Rocky Ramsey brings Biblical clarity to a topic that carries eternal weight. Rocky defines forgiveness as “letting go,” a concept rooted in both Hebrew and Greek Scripture (Psalm 103:12; aphiēmi). From there, he outlines three distinct expressions of forgiveness found in God’s Word. Judicial forgiveness describes God’s once-for-all release of our guilt through Christ’s redemptive work (Luke 5:21; Ephesians 1:7). Psychological forgiveness calls believers to release bitterness, hatred, and revenge, entrusting justice to God alone (Romans 12:17–19). Relational forgiveness, however, involves restored fellowship and is conditioned upon repentance (1 John 1:9; Luke 17:3). The message also clarifies what forgiveness is not: forgetting, a feeling, tolerance, trust, or mere words. Scripture shows that while psychological forgiveness must be extended unconditionally, relational forgiveness requires repentance and accountability. Ultimately, believers are called to forgive because Jesus commands it, because unforgiveness damages the soul, and because walking in God’s will demands a heart free from bitterness (Matthew 6:12; Colossians 3:15). This sermon offers hope for wounded hearts, wisdom for broken relationships, and freedom for those bound by unforgiveness. Do you have a question for Pastor Rocky?

New Year, Same You? | God’s Plan for Real Life Change

As a new year begins, many people hope for change—but few experience lasting transformation. In this sermon, Dr. Rocky Ramsey reminds us that the Christian life is not about self-improvement, but Spirit-empowered change into the likeness of Christ (Romans 8:29). Growth is lifelong (2 Corinthians 3:18), and it cannot happen without change. Scripture teaches that wise people change because they want to grow, while others change only when pain forces them—and fools refuse to change at all (Proverbs 12:15).

What Child Is This?

Dr. Rocky Ramsey proclaims the breathtaking truth of Christ’s identity. The baby lying in a manger is not merely a child—He is Emmanuel, God with us, the eternal Son who never began, the Alpha and Omega clothed in human flesh. Christmas is not about nostalgia—it’s about who Jesus really is and what that truth demands of our lives. Do you have a question for Pastor Rocky?

Could God Have Trusted You?

William Hunt challenges us to look beyond the manger and examine the kind of people God entrusts with His greatest work. From Matthew 1:18–25, we see that Mary and Joseph weren’t perfect—but they were righteous, gracious, thoughtful, obedient, and faithful. Their lives show us that God isn’t looking for flawless people, but for faithful ones who will trust Him when obedience is costly and clarity is limited. As we celebrate the birth of Christ, this message invites every believer—especially parents—to ask a sobering and hopeful question: Could God trust me with what matters most to Him?

In “Stressed Out?” William Hunt teaches from Isaiah 26:3 how God offers perfect peace in the middle of imperfect circumstances. If you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or carrying more than you should—this message will point you back to the God who “keeps in perfect peace the one whose mind is stayed on Him” (Isaiah 26:3).

What To Do When You're Drowning

Dr. Rocky Ramsey teaches that God’s ultimate purpose never changes. He wants us to know Him (John 17:3), become like Him (Romans 8:28–29), and lead others to Him (Matthew 28:19–20). When life is drowning us, God shows us exactly how to keep walking by faith. If you’re struggling, hurting, confused, or simply exhausted—this message is for you.

God Is Good, Even When Life Isn't

Life isn't always good. Sometimes it feels unfair, confusing, or even cruel. But Joseph’s story reminds us of a powerful truth: God is good, even when life isn’t. In this message from Dr. Rocky Ramsey, we study Genesis 37 and 39 to see the highs and lows of Joseph’s life—betrayal, false accusation, imprisonment, and being forgotten. Yet behind every injustice, God was quietly at work. He protected Joseph, promoted him, blessed him, shaped him, and positioned him for something far greater than he ever imagined. Your circumstances may look bad, but God is still good—and He’s doing more than you think. Do you have a question for Pastor Rocky? Email media@corrytonchurch.com to submit your questions today.
