What does it mean to let go of a sense of bitterness and unforgiveness in life as we surrender more fully to Jesus? What might Jesus be inviting us to ‘pick up’ in its place? This Sunday, we talk about “Letting Go of Bitterness”.
Forgiveness
The Lord’s Prayer: As We Also Forgive
Forgiven people forgive people. That’s how the Gospel works. It’s why Jesus instructed us to pray, “Forgive us our sins as we also forgive those who sin against us.” But what happens when we don’t forgive others? And what can we do to remain soft-hearted; as people who are quick to extend forgiveness to others?
The Lord’s Prayer: Forgive Us
Forgiveness is core to the message of Jesus. We all want it, we all need it, and we all turn to different places to find it when we have’t experienced it in Christ. It’s what makes this line in “The Lord’s Prayer” so critical, “Forgive us our sins…”. Why is it so important to pray this prayer? And what is forgiveness from sin and how can we experience it?
Messy Grace: Extending Grace
We tend to hold grudges and not forgive…but would a solid understanding of God’s grace change the way we deal with our bitterness? Listen here to find out!
Guest Speaker (Aaron Richert): Forgive.
Guest speaker Aaron Richert from Sequoia Community Church in Barrhaven shares a message with us about forgiveness.
Break the Jar
There comes a moment where we all need to come clean. Where we need to deal with the shame of our past and our secret sin. But why is that we act like our sin and shame disqualifies us from the grace of God? When in fact, it is the only thing that qualifies us! Maybe it’s time to “break the jar” of our past and our shame… Maybe it’s time to go all in!
