    Today we’re looking at what forgiveness is, the consequences of unforgiveness, and four things to do to forgive those who’ve offended you. If God commands you to forgive, He'll also give you the power to forgive.

    10,000 REASONS TO FORGIVE Matt. 18:21-35 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Two judges got speeding tickets and decided to try each other’s cases. The first judge came before his friend and received a fine of $5. 2. The second judge came before the first and received a fine of $500! In consternation, ...read more

    "forgive And Forget" Series

    When Paul said that we are to "forgive others as God in Christ forgives us" (Ephesians 4:32), does God actually forget our sins that He forgave? God forgets nothing, but He will not hold our sins against us.

    A. Ephesians 4:32- “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” ILLUSTRATION: Charles Swindoll tells the story of a Jewish rabbi named Saul Rosenberg, who one day did something really STUPID that terribly UPSET his wife, Ethel. He ...read more

    Jesus was on earth to forgive our sins and raise us to divine status.

    Third Sunday of Lent 2023 Take a moment as we settle down from a very long Gospel, close your eyes but stay awake. Think of the best person you know who is not a relative. This person, man or woman, is honest, self-controlled, just to a fault, and cheering to everyone. The best person you know. ...read more

    Jesus proves His right to forgive by healing the man.

    JESUS BOTH FORGIVES AND HEALS. Luke 5:17-26. This passage gives us an example of the type of holistic healing which Jesus offers. We have a patient closed out from the ministry of Jesus, whilst there were Pharisees and lawyers there who did not think themselves sick. However, this sick man had ...read more

     | 794 views

    While John the Baptist offered forgiveness through baptism, Jesus offers us freedom from the power of sin and the continual presence of God through the Holy Spirit.

    Ever had a phone that's so old it barely works? You know, the kind that freezes every time you try to open an app? And then one day, you get an upgrade - a brand new phone that works perfectly. That's kind of like what Jesus offers us. We're all used to the idea of forgiveness, but Jesus offers us ...read more

    The first word of Jesus on the cross

    On the blood-stained hill of Calvary, while nailed to a cross between two thieves, Jesus opened His mouth— not to curse His executioners, but to pray. Not to cry out in hatred—but to pray: Not to tear down-but to build up Not to pull down-but to lift up Not to make war-but peace Not to establish ...read more

    A Rebuke To Forgiveness-Only Salvation

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2025
     | 173 views

    This is a challenging passage. Surely Paul doesn't mean that we have to actually live like that?! What it all points us to is a false gospel that is too often preached today - "forgiveness-only" belief. What does this passage tell us about what real salvation looks like?

    A COMMON BELIEF TODAY: I am “saved” and unchanged. - Matthew 7:15-20; Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 13:6-9; John 15:8. - This passage makes us uncomfortable. It sounds harsh and unrealistic. We will delve into how we are to understand it as we move forward. - A good place to start is a major reason why ...read more

    When life goes from bad to worse, and then from worse to impossible, we are tempted to ask "Where is God in the midst of all this?" Come and discover God's heart for the hurting and find the hope that is only found in Jesus!

    Praising God Amidst the Impossible John 11:1-45 Hospital and Care Home Service – September 25, 2012 There are times in life when things go from bad to worse in the blink of an eye; times when a bad situation suddenly becomes seemingly impossible. Perhaps your “impossible” has ...read more

    Jesus came to set people free, and His death and resurrection provided for that. I’d like to look at some parallels between God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt and how He delivers us from bondage in our lives.

    An Easter Exodus Matthew 11:28 Intro: Nearly every Easter I make it a point to take another look at why I believe in the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. And as I look at my own spiritual journey over the years, I can identify several pieces of evidence that have strengthened my belief that ...read more

    This sermon walks through the 5 steps toward actually forgiving someone.

    Last week we spoke of why to forgive [see sermon “Why In The World Should I Forgive, Anyway?”]. Quickly on the heels of that question, though, comes the equally difficult question of how you forgive.
