    Based on the parable of the Unmerciful Servant Matthew 18:21-35 about forgiving others as we are forgiven

    Peter begins by asking Jesus a question, "how many times must I forgive my brother, up to seven times? This would have been a very generous act in those days as God had finished his work of creation and on the seventh day rested, seven was a perfect number. So Peter thought he was being very ...read more

    The three stages to forgiving our brother from Christ’s parable of the unmerciful servant.

    Christ’s "Parable of the Unmerciful Servant" is preceeded by a succinct set of guidelines on what to do when a brother sins against you. (Matthew 18:15-17) 1. First, try to keep the matter private. Hopefully, this will be all that’s necessary to restore fellowship and friendship. (Verse 15) 2. ...read more

    This is the world’s thinking turned on its head! The world will tell you, "Happy is the man who insists on his rights" and "Happy is the man who thinks of himself". . . but JESUS SAYS. . . *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Mt 5:1 ¶ And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: 3 ¶ "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be ...read more

    Here is a seed thought on forgiveness. Take it and develope it. This is an article I wrote for a newsletter that goes into several prisons in the U.S.

    Must I Forgive? MAT 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a ...read more

    Jesus teaches us to forgive others on the basis of His forgiveness ... out of grace & mercy ... not because they deserve it.

    “Forgive One Another” INTRODUCTION: Ephesians 4:31-32 Ephesians 4:31 - Last Sunday we looked at “bitterness” … WHY we are bitter … WHAT bitterness looks like … HOW to overcome bitterness. TODAY we will look at one of the CAUSES of BITTERNESS. If we want to AVOID bitterness, it is essential ...read more

    The Cross of Jesus tells us things we need to know, but we’re not sure we want to hear.

    Several years ago, I was driving through downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was a 4 lane, one way street that I had traveled several times before. I was going the speed limit (maybe a little faster) when I saw the light up ahead turn yellow. I thought to myself, "I can make that light if I just speed ...read more

     | 6,822 views

    This is a revamp of a 1997 message. Jesus shares with us insights as to how to become a forgiving person. I do not remember where I got the wording for the 5 point outline.

    INTRODUCTION • A man lay on his deathbed, harassed by fear because he had harbored hatred against another. He sent for the individual with whom he had had disagreement years before; he then made overtures of peace. The two of them shook hands in friendship. But as the visitor left the room, the ...read more

    God will not forgive your transgression or your sin! Wait a minute! Haven’t I always been taught that God was ready and willing to forgive my sins the very moment I say I’m sorry? Is this a contradiction in the Bible? What does this mean?

    This outline comes directly from the book, "Just Like Jesus" by Max Lucado.

    In reading “Just Like Jesus” by Max Lucado, I ran across a term that I feel is hindering many families, churches, ministries and individuals themselves. Max calls it – “Stuckitis” Stuck meaning – trapped Ititis – meaning – a six letter word you tag on the end to sound impressive. He says attacks ...read more

    Sin, Stones, And Forgiveness

    Contributed by James Chandler on Jan 11, 2007

    It is not a question of IF we have sin in our lives, but how we deal with sin in our lives. In John 8, we see how Jesus helped an adulterous woman deal with the sin in her life, and he will do the same for you and me.

    Can you imagine being in Time’s Square in New York City, and there on the jumbo-tron screen was every sin you have ever committed being displayed for all to see? How horrible would that be? How humiliating would that be? We all know we have sin in our life, we just don’t want everyone else to ...read more
