Understanding the Nature of God’s Forgiveness?
Understanding the Nature of God’s Forgiveness? Scripture: Matthew 18: 21-35 The big question on Peter’s heart that needs an answer! How often shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Peter suggested the answer, “Seven times?” Jesus answers, No! “Seventy times seven.” 490 times The story, “The Kingdom of heaven is like…” sets this parable in the context of Divine grace 1. The huge debt of our sin could never be repaid (Verse 24, 25) 2. This story is for those of us who are blind to our own sins 3. This story is for anybody finding it hard to forgive 4. Forgiveness always costs the innocent one, for he (the king) forgives the debt out of love and compassion. (Verse 26, 27) 5. The forgiven servant failed to embrace the principle of grace. (Verse 33-34) a. He was very aggressive in going after a small debt because he was covering up a far bigger debt. b. He didn’t receive the king’s love and forgiveness in his heart so he couldn’t pass it on c. Everybody could see his blatant injustice except he, himself d. At the end of day he was not free – but experienced endless torture 6. This story provides us with a strong motivation to forgive (Verse 35)

Good fruit begins on the inside
Change from the inside out is what God is after. You can attempt to beautify your image, and look the part, but God doesn't care. Are you striving to look the part, or to know Christ?

7 Marks of a Well-trained Life - ENGAGE #7
In this series, we will study Daniel 1-6. There are many parallels between the situation Daniel faced and our situation today. Like Daniel, we work and live among a great variety of gods--not only those of other formal religions, but also the gods of achievement, independence, knowledge, pleasure, and ideology. In a religiously diverse culture which is at best indifferent and at worst hostile to faith in the one true God, what role should Christ-followers play in society? Rather than isolating ourselves or rejecting our world, we want to ENGAGE our world as people who trust in a powerful God, make positive contributions to society, and bring hope to others. If you've ever wondered how Monday-Saturday were related to Sunday, this series is for you.

Gracism - Pt. 6 - It's Not What You Think
God says to his children, "Be holy, because I am holy." Is this a commandment we keep or a pronouncement we receive and believe? Is holiness something we achieve by our actions, or is it a state of being given to us as a gift?

My Beloved Son
"Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." Luke 3:21-22
