Reconciling with One Another: Repentance

Selected Scriptures All right, we’re going to wrap up another short little series we’ve been doing. This one on reconciling relationships. If you’ve been with us over the past couple of weeks, we’ve had a good time just trying to get into a bit of a topical approach to the confession of sin, asking for forgiveness, granting forgiveness, and those kind of things and it’s been, it’s been really helpful for me as a reminder. The Lord has been so…

Reconciling with One Another: Forgiveness

Selected Scriptures As we turn our attention to God’s Word this morning, you can open your Bibles. With the passage of Scripture that Bret actually read to open us this morning, 1 John 1:9, we are going to get a running start with a bit of review of what we covered last week. We have entered into just a short little series, three weeks, it might go four but I think three, just a short little series on reconciling relationships.…

It’s translated here in our text using four words,…

Ambush on the Sabbath

Luke 6:6-11 We’ve been reading about Jesus. He and his disciples have been shadowed by the Jewish leadership. All the while, he’s demonstrating his power, his strength, his might, his healing, his concern for people, his mercy. Jesus’ ministry has attracted the attention of the religious authorities in Jerusalem. The scribes and the Pharisees, they went out from Jerusalem and Judea to go to Galilee, in that more rural area: Galilee of the Gentiles.  They went out to observe for…

Lord of the Sabbath, Part 2

Luke 6:1-11 42-063 Lord of the Sabbath, Part 2 Luke 6:1-5 November 27th, 2016 There in Luke Chapter 6 follow along as I read in Luke 6:1 through 11. “On a Sabbath, while he,” that is Jesus, “was going through the grain fields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. But some of the Pharisees said, ‘Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?’ Jesus answered them, ‘Have…
