    Forgiveness is not an option for the Christian, it is a command. There are good and bad consequences when we forgive, and when we fail to forgive.

    Jesus had just given some detailed instructions about how to deal with a person who does you wrong. In v18, He says that heaven will back the person up who follows these instructions. This brought a question to the disciples' minds, and as usually was the case, Peter was the spokesman for them, ...read more

    Paul said in Gal 2.20 that the life he lived Christ lived in him. He was telling us that we are to allow the Holy Spirit to incarnate Jesus' life in us. Our life is not our own it was bought with a price. If Jesus is living in us then His life should b

    Intro: Jesus came into the world at a time similar to ours. The social setting was very complex due to the conflicting religions and philosophies of the day. This led to a very pluralistic social structure in which you could justify anything in the name of a personal god (small g). In other ...read more

    The need for forgiveness

    Intro: We talked last week about Colossians 3:1 - setting our minds on heavenly things. Yet, so often we focus on things on the earth. We are slow to do that which we know is right. One of the areas we struggle is in the area of offering forgiveness. Is there anyone you hold a grudge ...read more

    Forgiveness is powerful. Unforgiveness can also be powerful: when we refuse to forgive those who have wronged us, we ironically and powerfully hurt ourselves.

    Jesus often told people, "Your sins are forgiven." What a stunning statement. Forgiveness is powerful. Unforgiveness can also be powerful: when we refuse to forgive those who have wronged us, we ironically and powerfully hurt ourselves. Lewis Smedes once said, "Forgiving is the only way to be ...read more

    Many look at the concept and action of forgiveness in light of the negative connotation of the term the “F word!” They avoid saying it and doing it and feel for some mysterious reason that they are exempt from doing what Jesus described as being essential

    To err is human, to forgive divine? Not if we are to believe what the Bible says on forgiving. Come and see the great release in our lives when we forgive like God forgives us.

    Introduction When we have been wronged in our own minds we feel a need to hold it against them, to want to get even, you harbor bitterness in your heart. After all I am a man and nobody disrespects me! Does this sound familiar? Does this sound right? Does this mean I am to let him off free? What ...read more

    How can we get to the point that we are able to forgive each other’s sins, all of those sins, from the bottom of our hearts?

    Right here at the beginning of this sermon, let us quietly and honestly ask whether we know anyone from our own circle of friends and family whom we have not forgiven for some wrong that person might have done us; a person from whom we once separated ourselves in anger—perhaps not even in open ...read more

    A holistic examination of forgiveness and three areas where it is essential in our lives: God’s forgiveness of us, our forgiveness of others, and the importance of forgiving ourselves.

I do want to tell you a story today, but in my opinion it isn’t very funny. It begins on October the 10th, just shy of a month ago. My ...read more
