Isaiah 53:5 (KJV) -
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.
1 Thank the Lord because he is good.
His love continues forever.
2
That is what the people the Lord has saved should say.
They are the ones he has saved from the enemy.
3
He has gathered them from other lands,
from east and west, north and south.
4
Some people had wandered in the desert lands.
They found no city to live in.
5
They were hungry and thirsty.
They were discouraged.
6
In their misery they cried out to the Lord.
And he saved them from their troubles.
7
He led them on a straight road
to a city where they could live.
8
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love
and for the miracles he does for people.
9
He satisfies the thirsty.
He fills up the hungry.
10
Some sat in gloom and darkness.
They were prisoners suffering in chains.
11
They had turned against the words of God.
They had refused the advice of God Most High.
12
So he broke their pride by hard work.
They stumbled, and no one helped.
13
In their misery they cried out to the Lord.
And he saved them from their troubles.
14
He brought them out of their gloom and darkness.
He broke their chains.
15
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love
and for the miracles he does for people.
16
He breaks down bronze gates.
And he cuts apart iron bars.
17
Some became fools who turned against God.
They suffered for the evil they did.
18
They refused to eat anything.
So they almost died.
19
In their misery they cried out to the Lord.
And he saved them from their troubles.
20
God gave the command and healed them.
So they were saved from dying.
21
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love
and for the miracles he does for people.
22
Let them offer sacrifices to thank him.
With joy they should tell what he has done.
23
Others went out to sea in ships.
They did business on the great oceans.
24
They saw what the Lord could do.
They saw the miracles he did.
25
He spoke, and a storm came up.
It blew up high waves.
26
The ships tossed as high as the sky and fell low in the waves.
The storm was so bad the men lost their courage.
27
They stumbled and fell like men who were drunk.
They did not know what to do.
28
In their misery they cried out to the Lord.
And he saved them from their troubles.
29
He made the storm be still.
He calmed the waves.
30
They were happy that it was quiet.
And God guided them to the port they wanted.
31
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love
and for the miracles he does for people.
32
Let them praise his greatness in the meeting of the people.
They should praise him in the meeting of the elders.
33
He changed rivers into a desert,
and springs of water into dry ground.
34
He made fertile land salty
because the people there did evil.
35
He changed the desert into pools of water
and dry ground into springs of water.
36
He had the hungry settle there.
They built a city to live in.
37
They planted seeds in the fields and vineyards.
And they had a good harvest.
38
God blessed them, and they grew in number.
Their cattle did not become fewer.
39
Because of disaster, troubles and sadness,
their families grew smaller and weaker.
40
He showed he was displeased with their important men.
He made them wander in a pathless desert.
41
But he lifted the poor out of their suffering.
And he made their families grow like flocks of sheep.
42
Good people see this and are happy.
But the wicked say nothing.
Ed Sinclair & Olivia Colman's South of the River Pictures and Sister have announced the winner of their Screenshot 2023 competition that seeks out emerging comedy writer-performers.The scheme provides successful applicants with the opportunity to develop their original idea from stage to screen.
The winner was Chris Nelson, whose alter ego Sue Gives a F**k, grew out of the London club and ball scenes, took to the stage as professional escort and dominatrix Chrissie to perform Transgressions; a “whip-smart, disarmingly grounded confessional comedy about cross dressing, sex work and knowing ‘when a dick is just a dick’ with Olivia Colman saying “Chris’s unique talent is finding gentleness and humanity in every aspect of her comedy, and making the specific supremely accessible – hilarious, expectation-defying and utterly joyous!” Nelson will now be brought onto the Sister/South of the River development slates and commissioned to write a pilot episode of Transgressions.
Chris Nelson says “ Without giving too much away, I don’t know how many production companies would have the balls for my project so I’m extraordinarily grateful to Sister and SOTR for taking a chance on this cross-dressing dominatrix. It often feels like you need an agent to get work and work to get an agent so the way this competition creates a route into the industry feels really special. That said, no one in my office seems to understand that Olivia Colman gave me a trophy and that it isn’t appropriate to treat me like an administrator when actually, I am Beyonce.”
How senseless it is for a believer to live under the Law

When pure Grace is proclaimed, objections will invariably arise: “Grace is a license to sin, and I can live any way I want!” If you say that, you really have no idea what Grace is. Moreover, others will complain, “But do I not have to do something to make God happy with me?” If you say that, you have not paid attention to what these verses teach. Your flesh can do nothing to…
Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity; his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever.” Hosea 1:11

Jesus is not just an ordinary man. Jesus is God and He has the ability to forgive sins.
Memory Verse: Mark 2:10-11 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” He said to the paralytic, “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.”
Scripture: Matthew 9:2-8, Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:18-26

Isaiah 53:5 (ESV) -
But He was pierced for our transgressions;
He was crushed for our iniquities;
upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with His wounds we are healed.
1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.

People use the word “trans” a lot today, but not the way it really applies to all of us. I bet you haven’t used the word ‘transgressions’ in awhile… In the dictionary, it’s “an act that goes against a law, rule, or code of conduct; an offense.” That’s something we have all done, and the Bible reminds us in the words of King David that even royalty could make mistakes. “For I know my…
Let all their wickedness come before You, and do to them as You have done to me for all my transgressions; for my sighs are many and my heart is faint. Lamentations 1:22
Young children will often display great sorrow when they realize that they have done something wrong and made mom or dad sad. They will have a heavy heart and will often promise to try to do better the next time. Acting in this…
