    This will give insight to the power of total forgiveness and I know through the experience in my own life.

    The ability to forgive is the ability to recieve forgiveness.

    Last Tuesday, April 19th, this country observed a very difficult anniversary, and for most of us it passed by without a thought. It was April 19th 1995 that we suffered the atrocity of the Oklahoma City Bombing. As I was thinking about our sermon today I ran across a story from that event that I ...read more

    There is a distinct difference between the way God loves and the way we love, His love is unconditional and full of grace and forgiveness.

    We have over the last 5-6 weeks tried to illustrate what love is, and our need to display it through our daily living I have attempted to challenge us to love as God has prescribed Created to love. What love does. Loves evidence. What love looks like. I believe sincerely that we choose whether or ...read more

    We want to heal and respond like Christ when we are offended and hurt, but where do we start? Help from the Psalmist David after his son betrayed him and broke his heart.

    * This Psalm was written by King David at the time when Absalom, his son, had taken over the capitol, Jerusalem, and David and those loyal to him were leaving. * It was his sad recollection of the sad parade leaving the palace. * It was in time of sad memories of his feelings of betrayal by one ...read more

    We love to talk about how God has forgiven us, but we sometimes choke on the idea of forgiving others.

    INTRODUCTION People often speak about a certain kind of gift as a “gift that keeps on giving.” It’s used often, but do you know its origin? In 1924, Victor Talking Machines trademarked that phrase to promote the sale of their talking machines, later called phonographs. This was before cassettes ...read more

How do we deal with the shame that comes from that? - It’s an ancient problem that has troubled people since pretty much the beginning of time. - This morning I want to again look at ...read more

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Sep 3, 2025
     | 91 views

    We are told to "go." However, we cannot go unless we have a personal relationship with the One that sends us.

    What Does It Mean to be “From Saved to Sent”? John 17:6-19 (18) What did Jesus mean when He said that He was glorified in those that followed Him? The glory of God’s wonder is the disclosure of God’s presence and character. The lives of the disciples uncover the character of Jesus, and how He is ...read more

    What is this forgiveness thing all about?

    What Do We Learn from the Lord’s Prayer?

Jesus wants His true disciples to glorify God instead. The ...read more
