    Challenge we face as Christians - 9/11 and forgiveness and judgement....are we comfortable being Christians?

    Soon as I get in from work, I like to get comfortable. I kick of my shoes, strip off my clothes, head for a shower and then put on my normal clothes – denims, t-shirt and trainers – l love to be comfortable and hate wearing shirts of any kind or suits for that matter! When I sit at ...read more

    God is interested in our ATTITUDES

    Attitudes Story: An atheist was sitting under a tree one day smugly thinking: "God, I know you don't exist - but it you did - you must really be stupid.

    A sermon preached 9/11/2011 for a joint service of the McConnellsburg Lutheran Parish that speaks of the topic of forgiveness.

    Our Gospel reading has quite a parable to it. One that has a lesson that seems so simple and practical, yet, when the rubber meets the road, we find out it’s not so easy. It even seems as if Peter doesn’t quite get it at first. And on this day, 10 years after the terrorist attacks in ...read more

    A man was walking on the sidewalk outside a playground with a high wooden fence and heard the children chanting, “Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!” He stopped and, finding a small hole in the fence, he bent over to look in. Just like that, a finger poked him in the eye. And the chanting continued, ...read more

    As challenging as it may be Christians are called to place no limitations on their forgiveness of others.

    Matthew 18:21-35 “Forgiven to Forgive” INTRODUCTION The self-help industry is a multi-billion dollar business. There are millions of people, like you and me, who are willing to shell out significant amounts of cash in order to attain the nirvana of success. They develop seven ...read more

    Forgiveness

    Forgiveness is not an option for the Christian, it is a command. There are good and bad consequences when we forgive, and when we fail to forgive.

    Jesus had just given some detailed instructions about how to deal with a person who does you wrong. In v18, He says that heaven will back the person up who follows these instructions. This brought a question to the disciples' minds, and as usually was the case, Peter was the spokesman for them, ...read more

    The Unmerciful Servant Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 31, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,740 views

    Here we have both a reminder of just how great God’s love and mercy is and a warning about the need to respond appropriately, to demonstrate by our attitude to others that we’ve truly joined God’s family.

    I think we all relate to this story. We empathise with the poor servant who only owes a few dollars and is thrown into gaol by the culprit of the story. We feel the sense of powerlessness of the poorer servant. We feel the outrage of the other servants as they see this injustice being played out. ...read more

    A message on forgiveness and settling "accounts" with people in terms of healing relationships.

    Today, is the leavetaking of the Dormition, and we are hearing the parable of the king who wished to settle accounts with his servants, so we are taking an account of things.
