THE JOY OF FORGIVENESS | Psalm 130:3-4

Do you ever struggle with whether or not God really forgives you? Perhaps you know in your head that God forgives you. Your theology tells you that God forgives you, but it just hasn't sunk in yet.

YOUR TRUE SELF | Mark 8:34-36

Do you ever get the feeling that Jesus might need to get a new press agent? And that he might need a new PR person to help him spin his message in this time of self-fulfillment, self-actualization, self-esteem? What are we to make of Jesus talking so much about denying self and taking up crosses to follow him? How do you spin that? How good does that pull in a “me” generation? It is a curious, should I say, a provocative message about how to find real life, but it's a message that can change our lives...

SEEING YOURSELF AS GOD SEES YOU | Colossians 1:22

I'm gonna get right to it. I wanna read a verse of scripture and then tell a story, and it all has to do with how God sees you as a follower of Jesus. First the scripture, Colossians 1:22. Christ has now reconciled you in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy, blameless and irreproachable before him. And that's how God looks at you as a follower of Jesus.
