    Handling Complaints In A Healthy Way

     | 7,396 views

    The church consists of people, and at some stage in a growing church complaints and differences of opinion will occur. This sermon explores the biblical approach to handling complaints.

    As I read the New Testament one of things that becomes clear is that God knows that although He wants us to be living together in harmony, that we will struggle. So He gives us guidance, such as that found in Colossians 3:13-15 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have ...read more

    The Unmerciful Servant Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 31, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,546 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.

    When we forgive others, we are also setting ourselves free.

    Whether we love it or hate it, we all will be familiar with Coronation Street, UK’s longest running soap opera. I am not much of a television watcher, but I do have a soft spot for the street. One reason is that the characters are like real people. They have flaws and blemishes, they do not wake ...read more
