Don't Forget His Benefits

Jul 5, 2026    Brandon Wall

What if everything we need from God is already available to us, but we've been picking and choosing which blessings to accept? This powerful exploration of Psalm 103 challenges us to embrace ALL of God's benefits, not just the ones we feel comfortable receiving. The message centers on five transformative benefits: forgiveness of iniquities, healing of diseases, redemption from destruction, being crowned with favor, and satisfaction with good things. The distinction between sin and iniquity is particularly striking—while sin represents individual acts of missing the mark, iniquity describes generational patterns that can be transmitted through family lines. Yet God's forgiveness extends to both, digging out not just what we see above ground but the root systems beneath. Perhaps most challenging is the call to believe that forgiveness and healing go together like a one-two punch—we cannot accept one while rejecting the other. The sermon confronts our tendency toward internal condemnation that prevents us from receiving healing, reminding us that when the Father looks at us, He sees His forgiven children, not our past failures. This isn't about earning anything through perfection; it's about understanding that grace operates on a different economy altogether—one where God chooses to lavish His benefits on us simply because He loves us.
