When You Pray: Week 6Matthew 6:12
“Now what we need is forgiveness.” This powerful statement was uttered by prisoners of war to their captors after the victorious Allies swept in. Today, Pastor Alex focused on the phrase in the Lord’s Prayer that addresses a very important need that we all have. That need is the forgiveness of sins. God forgives us through faith in Christ and we then follow His example by forgiving others who have sinned against us.
Do not think that forgiving others is a prerequisite for God forgiving our sins. The opposite is true. We can forgive others because the Lord has already forgiven us. Romans 5:1 declares, “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” The cry of our heart, therefore, is for the Lord to help you deal with other people the way He has dealt with you.
To forgive means to let go of the obligation another person “owes” you because of sin. The idea is pictured in grabbing hold of a hot pot with one’s bare hand. If this happens, the first thing to do is “let the pot drop.”
How do we forgive?
Understand what forgiveness is not. It is not approval or condoning what they did. Neither is it forgetting what they did. Hebrews 10:17 helps us to choose to no longer allow that sin to influence me.
Choose to not keep a record of wrongs. Get rid of any list of wrongs you may be keeping either in your mind or on paper.
Remind yourself that forgiveness is supernatural and that bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness is natural. You can’t forgive without the Lord’s help.
Pray for them. Praying for those who have wronged you is a very important step towards forgiving and healing.
Remind yourself of the cost of unforgiveness. As bitterness and unforgiveness takes root it will have a negative effect on you physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Questions to Consider
How does unforgiveness hinder one’s prayer life (Psalm 66:18,19)?
What are some practical steps we can take to repair broken relationships and restore unity in the church that have arisen through bitterness and unforgiveness towards one another?
How does unforgiveness grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30-32)?
Discuss the impact of the various ways to emphasize the word forgiveness. (forgiveness, forgiveness).

June 25, 2024 When You Pray - Week 5
Today we continued in our series on prayer as we specifically focused on Matthew 6:11 from the Lord’s prayer:

“Give us this day our daily bread”

Give: We are commanded to ask God for our needs. But, we are not to do so with a demanding, arrogant heart. Instead the idea here is that we do so with an attitude of trust and humility. Give speaks to our dependence on God...

June 16, 2024 When You Pray: Week 4
Father’s Day 2024
Many men today feel discouraged and devalued because there is a view in the culture that men are awful and despised. That goes against the Word of God in that God’s design is for manhood and womanhood to be a picture of God’s image. In 1 Kings 2:1-3, David says to his son Solomon, “Be strong, and show yourself to be a man.” David is not contrasting man to woman; he is contrasting man to child. Masculinity is demonstrated in our maturity.

June 02, 2024 When You Pray: Week 2
In the Lord’s prayer He says, “Hallowed be Thy Name”. Hallowed means “to make holy” or “to separate” which points out that God is separate from anything on earth.
When we pray “Hallowed by Thy name,” we are setting God apart in our thinking and feeling. We are treating Him with all the respect that is due His character.

May 12, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 4:14-23
Paul’s persecution, affliction, distress, opposition, and tribulation all pressed hard on his soul. Paul is grateful to the Philippian church for bearing that burden with him in fellowship. He knows he’s not alone. Grace is unmerited, undeserved favor in the lives of God’s people. It is the wellspring and the heartbeat of the Christian life. The believers in Philippi had already received saving grace at the time of their regeneration, but Paul desires that they know more of this sanctifying grace in their Christian walk. This will enable them to live in a manner that glorifies God, and to do so with joy…an improbably joy!

May 05, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 4:10-13
Being “In Christ” means being completely consumed by God’s lavish love. Being “in” is the closet relationship one can have. As followers of Jesus, because God loves Jesus FULLY, God loves us FULLY. No more, no less. (John 17:26).

As a result of knowing this secret to contentment, we should “rejoice in the Lord always”. Rejoicing fosters the awareness of the relationship you have with Jesus.

Remember, identity comes before contentment!

April 28, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 4:4-9
Robert Leahy, a psychologist, said the average high school student today has the same level of anxiety as an average psychiatric patient in the early 1950’s. Anxiety and depression are rampant in our culture, and many point to the rise of the smartphone back in 2010. We are constantly aware of what we don’t have, who we are not with, and the decline of the culture. Paul speaks to this in his letter to Philippi when he says, “Don’t be anxious about anything…” In other words, stop perpetually (habitually) worrying because it will become a part of who you are. Anxiety involves fear or worry that you can’t control. Depression is a persistent feeling of sadness.

April 21, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 4:1-3
Love is the hallmark of the church, even before Truth, holiness, and integrity. He calls them his “joy and crown”. He is saying that they are his reward and he finds joy in them. Paul tells the church to “stand firm”. This is a military term for a soldier standing in a battle and not retreating. Pastor Alex said this morning, “When life gets sideways, don’t scoot over or out…scoot in”. Personal conflict must be addressed, or else the entire church will suffer.
