    The Blessings Of Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 22, 2004
    based on 39 ratings
     | 15,455 views

    Jesus teaches us to forgive. This is important because (1) forgiveness releases us from bondage, (2) gives us the freedom to grow, and (3) leaves room for God’s work.

    We have a forgiving God. We receive His forgiveness purely on GRACE. We pay no penance; we did no work to justify forgiveness. In fact, we cannot promise we will always stay RIGHT. We are forgiven because of Christ. We forgive because we have been forgiven. So what does these verses mean? ...read more

    When James comes to talk about the Word of God in our text, he leaves us in no doubt about what we need to do to put the wonder to work in our lives.

    I invite you to turn with me today to the book of James. While you’re finding your place let me give a few preliminary points (or thoughts) concerning this book and biblical hermeneutics in general. Every verse in the bible has three applications: historical, doctrinal, and spiritual. ...read more

    *(Revised: December 2010) Paul exhorts us not to rest on our laurels, but to keep improving on what we are doing as a church. (Can also be used as a "farewell" message for Pastors leaving their church)

    EXHORTATIONS ARE UNIQUE EPILOGUES THAT ANNOUNCE THE JOYS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WELL-DOING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SOUNDING THE ALARM TO WARN AGAINST GROWING CONTENT WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF FRUITFUL MINISTRY. THE CHURCH IS A LABOR OF LOVE AND CANNOT SEPARATE THE TWO BY LABORING WITHOUT LOVING OR ...read more

    The story of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem is familiar that there is a danger that we become anethetised. It will only become a reality in our lives as we leave the balcony and let the rubber hit the road.

    Stiffkey 07-12-03 The Journey to Bethlehem The Family Service team decided that they wanted me to speak on the familiar story of Joseph and Mary’s Journey to Bethlehem. The story is two thousand years old. So we might be tempted to view simply as a nice story!! Or ...read more

    Nakedness is equated with sin in Scripture and Adam and Eve tried covering their nakedness with fig leaves. Do we do the same? And, if so, how successful can we be at doing that?

    The true story is told of a banquet where a famous religious leader found himself seated next to an extremely beautiful woman who was wearing a gown with a perilously low neckline. He introduced himself to her… and then offered her an apple. She was a little surprised, but he explained ...read more
