Forgiveness - Eph 4.29-52 - Dave Bigler Guest Teaching at Grace Chapel - Sept 1, 2024.


Listen Later

Looking at Ephesians 4.29-5.2 Dave asks the question "what does it mean to grieve the Holy Spirit?" In what way do our actions bring sorrow, distress and/or sadness to our Lord? Dave uses the illustration of three children who are bickering and arguing over trivial, inconsequential things while unbeknownst to them they are surrounded by God's amazing beauty and provision. We are the same.

Dave also digs deep into the question of the forgiveness that God calls for us to have for one another. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? Do you need to forgive someone who does not deserve your forgiveness or has not earned it? Have you earned (or do you deserve) God’s forgiveness? In the same way that God forgave you (in Christ Jesus), you two ought to show forgiveness to others.
Dave Bigler (founder Iron Sheep Ministries) was asked to guest preach, on behalf of Renew Prayer Network https://www.renewalprayer.net, at Grace Chapel in Clifton Park, New York on Sunday, September 1st. In this teaching, Dave goes through Ephesians 4.29-5.2 covering the following text:
"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
