  God forgave us fully, finally and freely and that is exactly how we should forgive others…fully, finally, and freely! We must not allow ourselves to become bitter. Over the past few weeks we have been sharing this message based on Ephesians 4:30-32, “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.” We then shared a few of the key words...

  The Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:30-32, “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.” Last week we shared a few of the key words in these powerful Bible verses. The Greek word translated “bitterness” is pikria which means “to be sharp or bitter.” The Greek word translated “wrath” is thumos which means “to breathe hard.” The...

  Decades ago when I was a single man, I was a volunteer in youth ministry for my local church. I loved youth ministry…it was a huge part of my life! At that time, we had a contingency of very dysfunctional adult youth leaders. It was almost comical the band of adults that were working together with the teenagers. I remember that there was a single woman who worked with me. She was a military daughter and a pretty tough young lady. I remember she was upset with me one day in the youth wing of the church. This Christian young lady hauled off and hit me...

  So many times what we think our life revolves around and what our life actually revolves around are two entirely different things. Our life actually revolves around our: 1. Time 2. Talent 3. Treasure 4. Thoughts 5. Talk There are so many things our life could revolve around: 1. Money 6. Social media 2. Career 7. Your spouse 3. Sports 8. Your children 4. Power 9. Your phone 5. Sex 10. Acceptance But if your time, talent, treasure, thought and talk revolve around any of these things, you will never experience the peace, joy, purpose and fulfillment, destiny and satisfaction God wants you to enjoy. So let’s see if we can’t fix some of our priorities....

  Your life revolves around ________ ? So many times what we think our life revolves around and what our life actually revolves around are two entirely different things. Our life actually revolves around our: 1. Time 2. Talent 3. Treasure 4. Thoughts 5. Talk In other words, our lives actually revolve around what we spend most of our time, talent, treasure, thoughts and talk on. Notice what Paul said by the Holy Spirit, “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.” Notice this phrase “Christ, who is my life.” Not Christ who is part of my life…but Christ Who IS my life!...

  Last month I asked a very urgent question of you. This month as I open our teaching I see it as fitting to pose that question again: Your life revolves around ________ ? Two months ago, we began to share with you “10 First Fixes.” Just for a few moments, would you be so kind as to honestly reflect on this question? So many times what we think our life revolves around and what our life actually revolves around are two entirely different things. Our life actually revolves around our: 1. Time 2. Talent 3. Treasure 4. Thoughts 5. Talk In other words, our lives actually revolve around what we spend...
