    Forgiveness is a big problem in our lives. This message addresses our need to forgive.

    HOW DO WE FORGIVE? Matthew 18:21-35 INTRO: Simon Peter’s question was a sincere one. He wanted to know exactly what the Master expected out of him. The prominent Rabbis of the day were teaching that one should forgive his brother three times. Was that enough? Peter wondered. So one day he asked ...read more

    Denying Jesus

    Many claim to belong to Jesus but yet deny him in their words and actions. Others deny him by refusing to accept him as Lord and their saviour. We will either rejoice or regret our actions at the end of time.

    TEXT: Matthew 10:32-33 “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven." PETER DENIED JESUS Peter, spectacularly denied Jesus three times even after ...read more

    Can You Forgive Yourself?

    So often we wallow in guilt and shame, long after we have asked Jesus to forgive us. What if we could be free of that for good? Is self-forgiveness biblical? If not, how can I move forward out of my despair? Peter is a case in point.

    John 21:1-19 Can You Forgive Yourself? Self-forgiveness is the big rage in pop psychology today. I did a quick search on Amazon.com this week, and came up with over 12,000 hits on the subject of self-forgiveness. Yet, the interesting thing is, the Bible has absolutely no mention of it at all! ...read more

    Un-Forgivenss Creates A Debt

    Contributed by Sherry Proskine on Nov 21, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,930 views

    Un-forgiveness says, "They owe me". When we don’t forgive, it creates a debt from what someone has done to us. We can even create a debt to ourselves.

    Un-forgiveness Creates a Debt Illus. Hold up a glass of water. How heavy do you think this glass is? The total weight isn’t so important, it’s how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute--not a problem. An hour--my arm will ache. Hold it for a day--you better call an ambulance. ...read more

    How do we make ourselves acceptable to God? We can’t! We can only make ourselves available to Him and accept His forgiveness.

    1. Last week as I introduced our current series, Living in Light of Easter, I asked you a question, “Who Are You?” It is a question about identity because when we make the decision to acknowledge the sin in our life and choose to accept and receive God’s forgiveness of our sin, those choices ...read more

    We love to talk about how God has forgiven us, but we sometimes choke on the idea of forgiving others.

    INTRODUCTION People often speak about a certain kind of gift as a “gift that keeps on giving.” It’s used often, but do you know its origin? In 1924, Victor Talking Machines trademarked that phrase to promote the sale of their talking machines, later called phonographs. This was before cassettes ...read more

    What’s Up With Forgiveness?
