When we see the great debt we were unable to repay in our offense to a holy God and we have been forgiven of that penalty of death by nothing more than God’s free and sovereign grace, that knowledge changes how we forgive other people. We forgive others freely, without keeping count of how many times they have offended me. We freely forgive others for Christ’s sake, remembering the great debt that we have been freely forgiven in Jesus Christ.

Visiting minister Elder Philip Conley explains the reason this world is filled with death, decay, pain and suffering. All the mess of this world boils down to the sin of one man – Adam – by one man death came into the world and corrupted all of mankind. However, on the other end of the spectrum, by one man – by Jesus Christ – came life unto all of God’s people by his resurrection of the dead.

Do we have a tendency to take God’s grace for granted? Has grace become ordinary and mundane in our live instead of amazing – where we stand perpetually awe-struck and amazed that God would bestow any unmerited favor upon undeserving sinners? We need to be reminded of just how “amazing” God’s grace really is toward his people. We don’t deserve anything of the Lord, but he has given us all riches in Jesus Christ by his sovereign grace.

Visiting Minister Elder Luke Hagler reminds us of God’s providence that we have a tendency to take for granted in our lives. God protects his people from danger and from many perils in this world by his providence. We don’t need to take for granted where God is working behind the scenes in his providence to bless his children in this world.

We see the timid faith of Gideon who needed encouragement from the Lord by signs. He tested the Lord by needing signs instead of boldly walking by faith. Then, Gideon led Israel to a miraculous victory as only 300 men with lamps and trumpets defeated 135,000 Midianites. Gideon led them by faith to a mighty victory in defeating the oppressing Midianites.
