Sermons About Forgiveness
If My People Will Respond to My Blessings (1Chronicles 7:12-15)
We can be forgiven of every sin -- all can be reconciled through Jesus Christ, but we have to ask for forgiveness and then receive it. If we act in obedience to Jesus' command for our lives, he will help us do his will.

Lay Down Your Arms

Jesus uses weeds as a symbol of the evil in our world. Some "weeds" even pose as "wheat." How do Kingdom people respond to the evil all around us?

Do Good: World
Like Jonah, sometimes God calls us to go to places we don't want to go to do impossible tasks that we already know God will take care of in the end. Though God's mercy endures forever and God holds all things in accordance to his will, still God calls us to go.

Living the Real Life the Right Way
The right way to Real Life comes through a changed life and a life of love. The key to discovering Real Life through love is asking God to soften your heart. Also remember your need for love and forgiveness and search for love from a power beyond humanity. You must pray for a holy entrance and trust in a holy God. The right way to Real Life is through a cleansed life.

Scandalous, Merciful Grace
Jesus repeatedly stunned the religious leaders of his day with his radical demonstrations of grace to the most broken, scandalously sinful people. To them, Jesus poured out grace that was far more scandalous. The heart of God has not changed . . . mercy still triumphs over judgment, and Jesus calls his church to replicate his heart.

You're Fired!
Apostle Peter's life was filled with ups and downs. He did many great things, but he failed in big ways, too. Now, his life serves as an example to us of failure, forgiveness, and restoration. Today, I'll talk about what to do when you realize that you have done something very wrong. And, I'll share some things we can do to avoid personal, moral failure, or sin, as it is also known.

Go and Be Reconciled

Super-Abounding Grace (Romans 5:20-21)
God provided the law to his people. His law has many functions; first, it is a gift, to guide us in a way of living that pleases him and which is actually best for us. Second, the law shows us what sin is, exposing our sin. But more than this, our sin is provoked by the law, since we desire to do whatever is forbidden. But God did not leave us in sin; he also gave us the law to more greatly display his grace. Sin is revealed by the law, but grace is revealed even more.

Walking with Grace (Psalm 103)
Life is filled with all sorts of landscape. An all terrain faith is equally balanced for the breathtaking view from the mountaintop and the confusing trek though a cold, dark valley. It provides adequate support for walking in rough, rocky stretches and stability for the slippery spots. In this exploration of the Psalms, we will see that no matter where you find yourself in life there is an appropriate faith response to your life situation. Are you ready for the hike?

An Authentic Community
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a huge distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.

Releasing Our Regrets
Based on 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." we can enjoy the freedom of clear-conscience-living. We can release our regrets by confess our sin, trusting God's character and accepting God's forgiveness.

Am I Right About This?
God’s word says that His ways are not our ways. This is a truth that we all acknowledge, yet somehow fail to put into practice. The result is a way of living and doing that feels right, but is often far outside of God’s will. Unfortunately, we are absolutely blind to this until we get ourselves alone with God. Only in His presence do we learn how close or how far from the truth we are living. We must go there. Key Verses:Matt 5:21-24, 18:15-17, 18:21-35, 6:14-15, 1Cor 6:1-7

Dealing With Hidden Wounds
By applying biblical principles we can learn to forgive with God's help. Forgiveness is the pathway to emotional restoration. Forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation and does not mean we should forget. To forgive, we need to recognize that we are all imperfect, relinquish our right to get even and respond to evil with good.

Three Failures
Peter, Judas and Pilate all failed spectacularly in the hours leading up to the Crucifixion. Peter was overconfident; Judas a know-it-all; and Pilate didn't like being put upon to make a judgment about Jesus. We should take their failures to heart and learn from them.

Follow Me...Love Jesus
The words "Follow Me" rang loud and clear at different times in the disciples' lives. Early after a year of watching Jesus the four fishermen, Peter, James, John and Andrew left everything in order to follow Him, Matthew left his tax booth at once. Now in John 21 those words rang loud and clear with a sense of restoration and reinstatement and forgiveness.

That Scheming Devil
We hate to believe that someone is out to get us, but if the Bible is to be believed-someone IS out to get us. Far from being a mythological figure, Satan is a spirit being actively seeking to destroy us. Failing to appreciate this truth places us at serious risk. Find out whether or not Satan is at work in your life and exactly what he hopes to accomplish. The answers might surprise you. Key Verses: 1Pet 5:8, 2Cor 2:11, Prov 7:6ff, John 15:1-6, 1John 1:8-9, Rom 8:35-39, Eze 37

What God Did to Win Your Heart so You Can Live!
When we experience renewal as a Christ follower, there is a wonderful assurance of sins forgiven; the heart is clean; the soul free. Faith does not stagger at the promises of God. Prayer lays hold on heaven with fresh power. Love fills the heart with worship and there is spontaneous praise of an awesome God. There may have been a time when you experienced all of this but today you feel like something is missing. The thrill in personal time with God has diminished. There is no spring in your step: no music in your soul. The joy of sacrifice is gone. Yet there is hope. People throughout history have turned to the Lord on His terms and become part of the greatest spiritual awakenings. God specializes in "Waking the Dead". WAKING THE DEAD “What God Did to Win Your Heart so You Can Live!” Of all the final words that have ever been spoken, none are more precious, none more revealing, none filled with more meaning and wisdom, none pierce the soul with more love than these last crucial words of Jesus from the cross. They are the windows into the very heart of Jesus and the gospel. Forgiveness at it’s hardest! “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” Luke 23:24 I’m sure I’ll see you in Heaven. “Today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Luke 23:43 I am doing this to ease your pain. “Woman, behold your son…” John 19:26-27 I didn’t leave you, I just couldn’t stand to watch – Father “My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?” Matt. 27:46 Suffering at its worst - alone “I thirst” John 19:28 Collect the right trophies “It is finished” John 19:30 The fate of your soul-to whom will you entrust it? “Father, into your hands I commend My spirit.” Luke 13:46 THE KING STILL HAS ONE MORE MOVE!

Freely and Fully Forgiven
The heart of Christianity is God’s willingness to forgive the sins of man. When man because of pride and arrogance has decided to turn his back from God and began living for himself breaking His laws, he has invited curse and condemnation upon himself. Yet, despite of everything, God made a way so He can provide forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
