     | 2,292 views

    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.

    A. One day, many years ago, a well-respected British minister took the trolley early Monday morning from his home in the suburbs to the church in downtown London. 1.

    Every generation crosses a river into a new land, taking with them lessons from their ancestors. Your ancestors may not have given you what you needed to travel the desert in safety, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late.

    Should respect and courtesy be taught in elementary, middle, and high school classes along with writing and arithmetic?

    This message looks at the fact that the real secret to joy comes from being content and in Christ.

    Last week, we looked at the money myth of debt - anyone look at heir credit cards a little differently this last week? Anyone choose to use more cash?

    Tears bridge the gap between great beauties and great horrors. In heaven there will be no more horrors. Yet the beauties will be never ending, and never boring.

     | 10,734 views

    When it comes to the things of this world, God is not interested in how successful we are. Success can be measured. When it comes to the things of this world, God wants nothing less than complete, total and unquestioned victory for us.

    I don’t have any notes tonight because I’m going to read a little bit. There are many in the Body of Christ who, when they pray and nothing happens, they say to themselves “I just want to see a little success. I want to see something positive happen.” That is not what God is after. God is not ...read more
