A lot of our destructive behaviors, inappropriate actions, and a lot of negative circumstances are because we are searching. We don't have peace. Peace is not something we need every once in awhile. We need it every single day. Everyone needs peace. How can you find peace?

Pastor Brad Russell wrote a special song, "Stay Right Here," for our message about peace. The song is available for download here. For lyrics, go to http://www.firstnlr.com/peacesong

What is joy? It is an inner feeling of contentment that is far greater than a temporary happiness. It's a life outlook -- a different perspective. It's hard to explain, but easy to spot in others. True joy is a gift from God! But how do you get joy? Can you maintain it?

How do you know what something is worth? You know what it's worth by what people are willing to pay for it. Jesus paid the ultimate price for us. What does that tell you about our worth to Him?

You can't buy it, you can't earn it, but you can have it.In this message, Pastor Rod talks about wisdom.

Pastor Randy Jumper talks about another of God's gifts: Freedom!

Grace: You can't earn it, you can't buy it, but you can have it.

So far in this series, we've talked about how we can forgive. In this message, we come at it from the other side. What do you need to know and what do you need to do when you are the one who requires forgiveness, when you are the offender?

You are going to be hurt in life. It's inevitable. When it happens, though, our response is our choice. The Bible says we should forgive. Great - now how do we do it?

We have to learn to forgive. People who decide not to forgive are consumed, held captive, and defined by the hurt they refuse to forgive. But how? How can we forgive?
