    Forgive
    Jun 14 2026
    Forgiveness is one of the hardest things God calls us to do. Many people say unforgiveness harms us emotionally or physically, but Scripture shows that refusing to forgive carries an even deeper spiritual consequence. Jesus commands us to forgive others as God has forgiven us in Christ, not merely once, not only when it feels easy, and not only after someone asks. Through the parable of the unforgiving servant, Jesus shows the seriousness of receiving mercy while refusing to give mercy. From the cross, Jesus prayed for those crucifying Him before they even asked for forgiveness. And through Joseph’s story, we see how God can take what others meant for evil and use it for good. This sermon challenges us not only to forgive one person, but to become forgiving people, reflecting the heart of our Father, who forgave a debt we could never repay. Sermon Notes Ephesians 4:32 Forgive each other as God has forgiven you Matthew 18:21 – 35 How many times are we forgive & what happens if we don’t Matthew 6:12 We are to pray forgive us as we have forgiven. Matthew 6:14 & 15 If you don’t God. Does not forgive you Luke 23:34 Jesus prays for those who are crucifying Him and they have not even asked for forgiveness

  • The Word

    The Word
    Jun 7 2026
    Many Christians know they should read the Bible and should study the Word of God. Scriptures are not merely helpful literature or religious advice. Scriptures are God-breathed, profitable for teaching, correction, reproof, and training in righteousness. The Bible reveals who God is, teaches us how to live, corrects us when we wander, strengthens us in righteousness, gives encouragement and hope, and lights the path before us. God’s Word is not temporary or outdated, it endures forever. All Scripture points us to Jesus. God spoke through the prophets, through Scripture, and ultimately through His Son, who is the exact representation of God’s nature. If we want to know God, understand His will, and walk faithfully, we must treasure, study, remember, and obey His Word. The Word of God is a lamp to our feet, a light to our path, and the testimony that leads us to Christ. Sermon Notes 2 Timothy 3:16 2 Peter 3:14 - 16 It is God breathed Paul’s writings are Scripture 1 Peter 1:24 & 25 Lasts forever 1 Peter 2:1 – 3 Long for it Psalm 119:9 -19 Helps to keep it and never forget it Psalm 119:105 It is a light to our way Romans 15:4 Gives hope and encouragement Hebrews 1:1 – 3 God spoke through Jesus who is God

  • Rejoice

    Rejoice
    May 31 2026
    What is the difference between happiness and joy? There is Christian call to rejoice always. Happiness often depends on circumstances, but biblical joy is rooted in the Lord, His salvation, His Word, and the hope we have in Him. Joy is not meant to stay hidden. Rejoicing means expressing the joy God has placed within us. Believers are to rejoice even though one's own life included suffering, persecution, imprisonment, and hardship. Joy is not based on an easy life, but on a secure relationship with Christ. This message challenges us to ask: Do we have joy? Do others know we have joy? Are we rejoicing in the Lord always—not just when circumstances are good? Because of whom God is, what He has done, the salvation He provides, the hope He gives, and the Word He has revealed, believers have every reason to rejoice. Sermon Notes Philippians 4:4 Always Philippians 3:1 In the Lord Psalm 35:9 In God and His salvation Psalm 118:19 – 24 This day because of Jesus Psalm 119:161 & 162 At His word Romans 12:9 – 13 In hope Philippians 2:18 Share your joy
