    based on 1 rating
     | 5,276 views

    God calls us to encourage one another and hold one another accountable to pursue our love relationship with Christ.

    Many non-Christians mistakenly assume Christianity is just another religion. This is partly because many Christians have taken a religious approach to the Christian life. Rather than focusing on a growing love relationship with Christ, they focus on “dos and don’ts,” and proving they are right by ...read more

    Forgiveness is an act of understanding how much God has forgiven us; of the heart, making a changed spirit possible; and of the will, opening up all that God wants to do in us.

Job by the same title Matt 7:12 Of course, this is “Golden Rule” One little boy said it reads, “Do ONE to others before they do ONE to you.” Last week “Do no Harm” Wesley said it this way...”By doing no harm, ...read more

    A short talk / sermon given at a local school for Holocaust Memorial Day. I was asked to talk about Rwanda, so include reference to my 2007 visit, plus up to date story / testimony. Be encouraged!

    This seems like such a weak way to do things. Men like to just fight and then it’s done with. What is this forgiveness thing all about.

    Matthew 6 – Part 4 – I CAN NEVER FORGIVE YOU! I did something terribly wrong to a lady once by speaking against her and influencing my client (her son) to go against her. I was wrong and eventually my sin caught up with me. I knew I would have to apologise and so I went to her ...read more

    Blessed Are The Merciful

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Apr 5, 2011
     | 8,163 views

    The way of the Kingdom of Jesus is one of trust in God, which frees us to be "merciful" and give to others, knowing that God is a God of justice and compassion, full of mercy and love.

    Blessed are the Merciful Apr 3, 2011 Matt 5:7 Intro: We are half-way through our Lenten journey through the Beatitudes, the opening words of Jesus’ opening sermon (“on the mount”) where Jesus describes Kingdom life.

    Handling Complaints In A Healthy Way

     | 7,493 views

    The church consists of people, and at some stage in a growing church complaints and differences of opinion will occur. This sermon explores the biblical approach to handling complaints.

    As I read the New Testament one of things that becomes clear is that God knows that although He wants us to be living together in harmony, that we will struggle. So He gives us guidance, such as that found in Colossians 3:13-15 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have ...read more

    When we forgive others, we are also setting ourselves free.

    Whether we love it or hate it, we all will be familiar with Coronation Street, UK’s longest running soap opera. I am not much of a television watcher, but I do have a soft spot for the street. One reason is that the characters are like real people. They have flaws and blemishes, they do not wake ...read more

    Jesus invites us to be involved with God to offer and practice the joy of forgiveness...it is what we pray in the Lord's Prayer. Robert Hoyer in his book writes "I do not pretend to do it well nor does anyone else I know...."
