    How do we forgive?

    I would like to begin this morning with a very troubling verse of Scripture. "If you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." -- Matthew 6:14-15 (NIV) Does this mean ...read more

    For believers, this is the sadest thing that could ever happen. This message causes a self evaluation as to how well we remember that we are saved by grace, and owe our lives to God.

    Psalms 32:1-2 and 2 Peter 1:2-9 It really shouldn’t surprise us at the great lengths the Bible speaks of forgiveness. Our entire message, faith, belief, and life is based on that one thing: forgiveness. And in the Bible, in all the various ways forgiveness is discussed, there stands out, ...read more

    Forgiveness is something that we have to deal with one way or another.

    FORGIVING OTHERS (Matthew 18:21-22) Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. (KJV) (Luke 17:3-4) Take heed to yourselves: If ...read more

    Peter’s question about how often to forgive allows Jesus to answer a different question: what is forgiveness.

    What is forgiveness? Matthew 18:21-35 As I’m sure most of you have noticed, in our worship here we recite the Lord’s prayer twice during our worship. In the history of Christian worship this is a fairly low number of times to use the Lord’s prayer. When Thomas Cranmer revised the Sarum Mass in ...read more

    “Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little. And He said to her ‘your sins are forgiven” Luke 7:47-48.

    Theme: The Lord forgives Text: 2 Sam. 12:7-13; Gal. 2:16, 19-21; Lk. 7:36-50 Man’s greatest need is the need for forgiveness whether he realises it or not. It is the only way to restore a broken relationship and all humanity needs to be restored to a relationship with God that was broken through ...read more

    Jesus teaches us to forgive. This is important because (1) forgiveness releases us from bondage, (2) gives us the freedom to grow, and (3) leaves room for God’s work.

    We have a forgiving God. We receive His forgiveness purely on GRACE. We pay no penance; we did no work to justify forgiveness. In fact, we cannot promise we will always stay RIGHT. We are forgiven because of Christ. We forgive because we have been forgiven. So what does these verses mean? ...read more

    We have been forgiven much, therefore we must forgive others much.

    Perhaps you’ve heard the story about the stubborn old farmer who was plowing his field. A neighbor who was watching as he tried to guide the mule finally said, "I don’t want to butt in, but you could save yourself a lot of work by saying "gee" and "haw," instead of jerking on the reins."

    We have all been impressed with the measure of forgiveness our Amish brethren in Nickel Mines, PA. have shown in the past week.

    FORGIVENESS IS NOT OPTIONABLE "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14- 15 NKJV The only part of the Lord’s Prayer, or more accurately ...read more

    There is not greater peace then to know that you are forgiven.

    The Joy of Forgiveness Psalm 32:1-5 Intro As with Psalm 51, scholars virtually agree on the occasion of this Hebrew song.

    God wants complete obedience to His word. In return for our reentant behavior, we are forgiven.

    Obedience and Forgiveness Matthew 21:23-32 Introduction In our Gospel message today, we see a parable read to the chief priests and the elders of the people.
