Chuck Swindoll said, “If I sin and in the process of sinning break my arm, when I find forgiveness from sin, I still have to deal with a broken bone.” -- If you’re struggling with hurts inflicted by someone else, release your desire for vengeance and let God (or others) pursue justice. On the other hand, if you desire forgiveness, don’t be discouraged over the lingering consequences of your sin; instead, view them as a gift designed to keep you close to a God who loves you! HOW CAN I HANDLE MEMORIES OF A PAST HURT? Here is some great advice: Do not cultivate the memories. Recall your own failures. Remember your decision to forgive. Realize that healing memories takes time. Join us for this powerful teaching series about the Power of Forgiveness. (Streaming License # CCLI: CSPL043706)

The laws of God decree that those who refuse to forgive enter their own private torture chamber, sentencing themselves to a lifetime of needless pain. John MacArthur says, “Unforgiveness is a toxin. It poisons the heart and mind with bitterness, distorting one’s whole perspective on life. Anger, resentment, and sorrow begin to overshadow and overwhelm the unforgiving person – a kind of soul-pollution that enflames evil appetites and evil emotions.” Join us for this powerful teaching series about the Power of Forgiveness.

Why is there such a discrepancy between our understanding of forgiveness and our willingness to grant it to others? Occasionally, it’s a major crisis that forces us to choose between forgiveness and unforgiveness (i.e. an unfaithful spouse, an unwanted divorce, an unfair termination from your job, sexual abuse you experienced as a child, a slanderous rumor that has cost you your reputation). But most of the time it is lesser offenses that we must deal with (i.e. being overlooked by a friend, a fight with our spouse). Regardless of the size of the offense, FORGIVENESS IS NOT USUALLY THE PREFERRED RESPONSE! Join us for this powerful teaching series about the Power of Forgiveness.

There is suffering in obeying God, but it does not compare with the blessings of obedience! Obedience is not obedience until we have completed all that we have been told to do. Our faith increases as our obedience continues. With each step of obedience comes a new level of faith. We can learn how to overcome sin and have a lifestyle that pleases God when we understand the blessing of obedience to His Word and His Way! Thank you for joining us for our Midweek Bible Study on the Way of Obedience. (Streaming License # CCLI: CSPL043706)

This illustration shows us how highlighters can be a good study tool. We can highlight God's Word by memorizing scriptures and hiding His Word in our hearts, so we won't sin. His Word gives us a lamp and a light to guide us in the right direction.
