Forgiveness

"The Story Behind The Story" - Tim Mannin

Wells (Part 5) When Jesus met the woman at the well, there was extreme significance in where they were. The Jewish people and the Samaritans were at odds, but Jesus was the bridge between them. He saw the bigger story behind the story and knew that if the gospel and reconciliation was for all people. Who in your life do you need to forgive? Who in your life have you hurt or mistreated? (John 4, Acts 1:8, Acts 9:31)

"Guard Love" - Tim Mannin

1 John: Love Conquers All (Part 2) John shows us a narrative of love and keeping the commandments of Jesus. We must pay attention to the moments when love is not easy, when it doesn't come naturally. Guarding love is about saying "I'm not going to love when it's just an easy thing, I am going to love in all situations." The gospel is advanced when we chose to love in the difficult situations. Love will conquer all. (1 John 2:1-7, John 13:34-35, 15:12)

"The Cross, Part One" - Tim Mannin

The Cross (Part 1) On this Palm Sunday morning, we begin our 3 week series on "The Cross." The death of Christ, brought everlasting life. It is often death that brings life in other areas as well. What sin in our life do we need to die to, in order that we may have life to the full? (Matt. 21:1-11, Mark 15:15-39, Luke 9:23, John 10:10)

"Grace" - Tim Mannin

Grace, Mercy, and Peace (Part 2) Looking into 1 Timothy and the life of Martin Luther King Jr. we see that grace is the way to transformation, for it is hate that breeds hate. Grace is like a gentle day or a whisper, never aggressive and always unconditional. Who in your life do you need to show grace to? (1 Tim. 1:12-17)

"Pouring It All Out" - Ryan Moore

Living The Gospel: teachings from the book of Matthew (Part 9) Do the actions in our life represent the words that we say? It is easy for us to fulfill tradition in order to be a "good Christian," but when we see the opportunity to live out the gospel, do we pour it all out just as the woman did in Matthew 26? (Matthew 12, 26)

"The Left Cheek" - Tim Mannin

Living The Gospel: teachings from the book of Matthew (Part 3) We have all heard Jesus' words about turning the other cheek, but the reality and practicality of this rarely are applied into our actual lives. What was Jesus' intent for our world today? Was His purpose to give us another law to follow or to perhaps show us a better way to live the gospel? (Matthew 5:38-42)
