Bitterness is also defined as, “extreme enmity,” “a grudge,” or “hatred.”(1) The meaning of the word bitter itself is, “sharp ...read more

     | 2,150 views

    The sermon explores the importance of remembering significant events and God's faithfulness in our lives, using tools like anniversaries and ceremonies, and how this act of remembering helps us honor the past, stand firm in the present, and foster hope for the future.

    Many of us work hard to remember things that matter to us. Birthdays, anniversaries, moments in time, people, pets, the list could go on and on. We do this because we know how fickle our memories can be. We often forget the things that matter to us. Not because we want to, not because we’re ...read more

    Since this psalm is so familiar, we’re in danger of missing the depth of its meaning. And, because it’s setting is in the world of sheep and shepherds, many of us city slickers can slide right past its richness.

    Jesus earthly ministry shifted into a different realm when he went past meeting the needs of the flesh to forgiving the sins of men. Suddenly he wasn’t just another Rabbi, because only God could forgive sins.
