Will God Forgive?

Contributed by Harold Kouwenberg on Aug 3, 2013

Psalm 51 gives us an insight to the deeply personal confession of David and a glimpse of the grace God affords sinners like us. The emphasis isn't on judgement, it is on confession, repentance and grace. Our response is worship, thansgiving and testimony.

"WILL GOD FORGIVE?" Psalm 51: 1-19 Matthew 7: 1-5 "NEVER! I'll never in a million years forgive that man! After what he's done to me, he can just forget about ever talking to me again! That's one thing I can never do. I just can't forgive what he has done." ...read more

Fighting God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

God Cares

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 4, 2014

Sometimes it may seem as if God doesn't care. The storms come and we wonder where he is. We are overwhelmed with life's duties and wonder where our help is. A loved one dies unexpectedly and we wonder why God didn't stop it. Does God really care? Yes!

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 4, 2023

In this exposition of Hebrews 11:1-6, the nature of faith (v. 1), understanding by faith (v. 3), and essentials of faith (v. 6) are explored. "Without faith it is impossible to please God." Therefore, the subject is of supreme importance.
