    Forgiven & Forgiving Series

    Contributed by Josh Foster on Feb 26, 2014
     | 5,311 views

    Our relationship with God begins with forgiveness; but forgiveness is at the heart of relationships with fellow Christians. Forgiveness is not a commodity that we receive. It impacts our life to the degree that we want to share what we've received.

    We need to remember / Never Forget that Someday we will be “summoned” / To give an account. • This does not necessarily happen on the other side. • It can happen any day as God responds to our unforgiveness.

    The High Cost of Unforgiveness Matthew 18:21-35 Several years ago, we were looking to buy a new car. • We found one we wanted, but we discovered that it cost more than we could afford. • Most of us in life find that we have a limit to what we can or will pay for an item. Jesus ...read more

    There are a number of things that a preacher might hear after he preaches a sermon. Some of these things are pleasant and some of them are not.

    Some will say: • "I am going to be late for lunch because you preached so long." • "You must not have had much time to prepare that sermon." • "My former pastor preached a much better sermon from that text." • "You acted like you weren't feeling well while you ...read more

    When Jesus prayed for the Father to forgive those who were mistreating him I said in the sermon a couple of weeks ago that if Jesus can forgive those who mistreated him then we can forgive those who mistreat us. It's not easy, but we can do it.

    The Seriousness Of Forgiveness

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 16, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,715 views

    We are told to forgive because God forgave us. We can do that when we take off the old garments of bitterness and anger and replace them with love, compassion and humility. Today we'll see Jesus communicating how serious forgiving others is.

    THE SERIOUSNESS OF FORGIVENESS Last week we looked into the subject of forgiveness. I started by saying we first had to answer the question of whether or not we want to forgive. And if we do we need to determine how to go about it. We looked at Paul's words in Eph., and Col. and saw that we are ...read more

    Words matter. Words communicate. As a master teacher Jesus used words and literary devices to enhance his teaching with great power and insight. He often used 'hyperbole.'

    The Gospel of Luke-Pt.18: “Love who? My Enemies!” I walked through hell this week. My personal world was on fire and everyone unloaded their problems on me. I ended the week with the weight of the world upon my shoulders. Let me ask you, ‘What kind of week did I have?’ Yes, you would be ...read more
