Sermons on Forgivness:

Dealing With Sin

Contributed by Robert Sickler on Mar 15, 2017

Whether ignorant or evil, they are working for Satan who spread the lie that all ours sins, past-present-future, have already been forgiven; thus, we do not have to worry about sinning.

Dealing With Sin Illustration It is remarkable what people will do in response to hearing what they want to hear, or in response to getting their own way. For example: there is a TV show called ‘Big Bang Theory’ and in this show there is a wimpy nerd, named Leonard, who will say and do ...read more

Who Is Chief Of Sinners?

Contributed by Jeff Hatos on Aug 2, 2018

Paul identified himself as chief of sinners. Is this a right assessment or does someone else deserve that title?

1 Timothy 1:12-17 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was ...read more

Prayerful Response To The Senseless Shootings In Parkland, Florida

Contributed by Howard Gunter on Feb 16, 2018

Obviously, this is more a prayer than a sermon. It is inspired during a time of prayer and meditation and worthy of sharing.

" But, O Lord of hosts, You who judge righteously, Testing the mind and the heart, Let me see Your vengeance on them, For to You I have revealed my cause." Jeremiah 11:20 "Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.' says ...read more

"In A Manner Of Speaking": 'the Prodigal Son' [part Six]

Contributed by Reverend Cooper Mcwhirter on Oct 1, 2016

Did Jesus resort to using allegory as a clever ruse so as to keep things hidden? On the contrary! Jesus resorted to using parables so that the listener could better understand “the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven” [Matthew 13:11].

Sermon Preached at Grace Community Church (EPC) Sun City Grand, Surprise, AZ Sunday, September 6, 2015 by the Reverend Cooper McWhirter In a Manner of Speaking: “The Prodigal Son” Luke 15:11-32 [NET] The scriptures tell us that on one occasion ...read more

When A Little Guy Meets A Big God

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 6, 2016

Jesus reaches out to the smallest and the evilest among us with a very personal invitation. He calls us by name. He invites himself over. He desires nothing less than a radically changed life, submitted to him, and all for our good!

Luke 19:1-10 When a Little Guy Meets a Big God Today’s passage is a very popular children’s Bible story, but it’s a lot more than that. It reveals the very heart of God: one who pursues each one of us to bring us into a loving personal relationship with him. I want to walk us ...read more

Love Keeps No Record Of Wrongs Series

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jan 24, 2020

Without a doubt the most difficult challenge that you will ever face as you strive to live out God’s kind of love… IS WHEN - somebody hurts you, when they do you wrong, when evil is done to you or to those we love.

Love Keeps No Record Of Wrongs If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I ...read more

Fearless Campaign Week 3 Series

Contributed by Brian Harrell on Oct 16, 2009

This is based on Max Lucado’s Fearless campaign week 3. The fear of disappointing God, being unforgiven, God remembering your sins. We are fully and freely forgiven, adopted, and can silence the voice of condemnation.

Fearless #3 The Fear of Disappointing God A discussion I’ve often heard, a question often asked is: what is the unforgivable sin? When is that we cross the line and can’t come back? Is there a time when God is finished with us and we are beyond saving? Why do people ask that? Because we are ...read more

Understanding the four messages of Jubilee

Your Jubilee Leviticus 25 This morning I want to speak with you from the Word of God about one of the most profound concepts in all of Scripture – it is so profound and different to anything we know that there is nothing like it in all of modern life.

Looking Back On 2013 Or Generally

Contributed by David Mcnally on Jan 17, 2014

It is good to look back to see where we have come from (sin) so we can appreciate where we are going to (salvation), and particularly at the end of one year and the beginning of another.

Looking back on 2013 or looking back in time generally According to the Bible we should look forward much more than we look back, but there is nothing wrong with looking back on our successes, so we can repeat them, and looking back on our mistakes, to learn from them in order to make sure we ...read more

Let God Settle Your Score Series

Contributed by Rudolf E. Y. Mensah on Sep 18, 2023

It is not in the domain of any child of God to take the law into his hands and avenge for any wrongful doing done against him.

The Unjust Steward Series

Contributed by Ian Lyall on Sep 28, 2005

Many people struggle with this well-known parable. Jesus seems to condone rather selfish, shady money-dealing. Actually the Gospel of forgiveness lies at its heart: are we ready to forgive?

I don’t know about you, but I do have certainly difficulties with this parable. I’ve always tended to skirt around them, I must admit. But with this text in front of me for this morning I was forced to think about it more seriously. And I find that many of the problems are actually only on the ...read more

Four Men Of Faith And Action

Contributed by Ray Ellis on Jun 7, 2011

Bringing people to Jesus is a partnership. We encourage one another to witness and tell the good news to others about Jesus and His forgiving power. Jesus alone can forgive sin.

Four Men of Faith Mark 2:1-12 One of the challenges we have in witness to people who have not yet become believers is to communicate in a language they understand. Sometimes our tendency is to use language of the church, “Christianize.” Words like regeneration, propitiation, ...read more

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. This is a prayer that says, I acknowledge the grace of God in my life, and I desire to live a life of righteousness and holiness. I am surrendered to your leading Lord and acknowledge my human nature's weakness and limitations. I am not ...read more

Knowing Your Assignment.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 1, 2023

Un-forgiveness is like a Beaver Dam, it backs up the waste and debris of past events. Un-forgiveness stops the flow, nothing fresh can enter. Life in general becomes tainted.

Knowing Your Assignment. Matthew 28:18-20 Un-forgiveness is like a Beaver Dam, it backs up the waste and debris of past events. Un-forgiveness stops the flow, nothing fresh can enter. Life in general becomes tainted. On the other hand, Forgiveness is not a feeling, it’s a decision, ...read more
