    Everything You Wanted To Know About Revenge But Never Thought You'd Hear In Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 2, 2004
    based on 45 ratings
     | 6,540 views

    The desire for revenge and justice is part of being in God’s image. But, because sin corrupts us, and because our lives are intended to center around God, we must defer revenge (and sometimes justice) to Him.

The Bible is clear that forgiveness is crucial to the Christian life; it is the hallmark of our faith. 3. Not long ...read more

    Using 2 video clips I begin by encouraging people to turn to Christ if they haven’t yet. Then I unpack this passage as to what it means to live as children of light, full of forgiveness, avoiding even a hint or a whiff of impurity.

    (Note to the reader: I began this talk by showing a video called Ribbons, available from PremierTV2006: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9K86vcHOLI. It shows how Jesus took upon himself the penalty for sin and all that binds us; see 1 Peter 2: 24-25.) ‘[Jesus the Messiah] himself bore our sins in ...read more
