The Gospel Frees Us From Darkness
“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” Once you understand the value of Jesus’ sacrifice, your notion of freedom is forever changed. You’ll discover that the most freeing thing in the world is to give yourself over entirely to the one you love, and this is exactly what happens in the gospel. The good news about Jesus is that he grants us freedom from our toughest struggles, our deepest scars, our strongest doubts, and our biggest fears. When you find Jesus, you find true freedom. ___________________________ The 2nd of 10 sermons in the Emancipation Proclamation Series at Remnant Church in Richmond, Virginia.

EL HOGAR SEGUN JESUS
El hogar tiene su origen en Dios, en su estado de inocencia. El hogar es antes que la escuela, la iglesia y los gobiernos. De ahí que todo dependa del hogar. El origen de todo estriba ahí. Personajes Bíblicos como Noé, Job, Pedro fueron casados. (1 Timoteo 3:1). Jesús dignificó y santificó el hogar en Caná de Galilea. Pablo lo compara a la relación entre iglesia y Cristo. (Efesios 5:21-31)

FORGIVENESS: Is Total Forgiveness Realistic?
FORGIVENESS: Is Total Forgiveness Realistic? Scriptures: Ephesians 4:29-32 Luke 7:44-48 What does forgiveness mean? Forgive is translated from a Greek word meaning “be gracious” but has a much broader concept to extend grace to others as God has extended grace to us. What does forgiveness not mean? It does not.. Deny the evil that was done Excuse sinful behavior or remove the consequences Pretend it never happened or you weren’t wronged Glossing over the pain you suffered How do I know when I have truly forgiven? You no longer think about it day and night You no longer have to talk about it all the time You no longer feel the need to seek revenge You no longer live in bitterness and anger You can recall those who hurt you and can wish them well Making the four promises of forgiveness “I will not dwell on this incident.” “I will not bring up this incident again and use it against you.” “I will not talk to others about this incident.” “I will not let this incident stand between us or hinder our personal relationship.” (In a few cases this would be unwise) What does it mean to forgive like Jesus? (Luke 7:44-48) You cannot do it alone Forgiveness is a gift. Forgiveness is a response of the heart, not feelings Forgiveness and love are always connected

This Is Not A Formula
These steps are the natural response of a heart that loves God and wants His will, and does not have His will. We need to fall in love with God. Holiness begins with desire. Do you desire to be pleasing to God or to yourself. It is our lack of holiness that build barriers.

For the Lord's Sake
The “likewise” in verses 1 and 7 point back to I Peter 2:13 where the focus is on the “mutual submission” to every authority of man “for the Lord’s sake”. The purpose of the submission for the wife is for the general necessity of divine order and as an evangelistic appeal for the unbelieving husband. This divinely intended manner of life for the wife inspires the “incorruptible inner beauty” that is precious both in God’s sight and the husband’s. Peter concludes with instructions to the husband to “give honor” to his wife and to submit to Jesus Christ in such a way that the wife will willingly follow him any where!

Jesus and the Sinners
In chapter 5, there are several stories about Jesus coming in contact with people who were sinners. Jesus shows us in each encounter that He came for the sick (physically but especially spiritually). Jesus loves sinners. He came to forgive them and make them whole again. In each of the stories, those who believed Him saw their neediness and sins; they were cleansed and forgiven. Jesus has the authority to forgive sins. We can (and need to) wholly trust Him and be forgiven.

Jesus: Mad, Bad, or God
Who was the man Jesus of Nazareth? Was he really the Son of God? Why was he rejected and killed? Did he really come back to life? If He's alive today, what does it look like to follow Him? These are the questions burning at the heart of Mark's Gospel. Join us as we explore the answers to these questions and see what it means, perhaps for the first time, to know and follow Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
