“In the Gospels Jesus cleared the temple and drove out the money changers with boldness. Throughout the New Testament Jesus' followers stood boldly before of rulers, courts, and authorities. Peter and John are perfect examples of God's Spirt powerfully working in God’s people in a way that led to GREAT boldness. Today, we’ll see that Jesus’ followers can’t hide their faith and seek to make disciples. When God’s people lean into His power they are able to live with boldness and accomplish His mission.”

"We all have things that unsettle us and drive us to action. The problem is we don’t always react in the most appropriate way and sometimes our actions can have a detrimental effect. The name of Jesus greatly disturbed the religious leaders of his day, but it inspired his followers. Jesus lead both groups to act. When the followers of Jesus stand for him in the face of fear and uncertainty they have the opportunity to show the world around them the REAL Jesus is really like.”

“For the disciples the initial scene on the first Easter morning was a somber one. Jesus' first followers rushed to the tomb only to find his body was missing. However, by the end of the day everything had changed. We’ve all had seasons of fear and frustration. Most everyone has had circumstances that left them feeling hopeless, but the lesson to be learned from Easter is Jesus brings hope to the hopeless by making sense of a senseless world.”

“There is only one God, and he loves us. He loves us so much, in fact, that He willing bore the consequences of our sins. As we conclude this series on forgiveness we will spend some time probing the depths of God’s forgiveness and its implications on our lives.”

“Sometimes we can forget about important things even though they are valuable to us. We’ve all forgotten where we’ve placed our glasses or our keys at one time or another. As followers of Jesus we are also likely to forget that we’ve been forgiven of our sins and we are allowed to forgive ourselves. When this happens we stop living in the present because we’ve become paralyzed by our past. Forgiveness is valuable, and Jesus followers need to remember to forgive themselves as completely as Jesus has forgiven them.”

“When we store up resentment and hold on to the wrongs committed against us we hurt ourselves and those closest to us. Forgiveness is one of the major themes of Christianity, and if there was no forgiveness we wouldn’t be able to follow Jesus. Today, we’ll explore how we work through the sadness and scars that we accumulate so that we can begin to forgive like Jesus forgave.”

Saying, “I'm sorry," can be tough. It can be just as tough to say, “You’re forgiven.” Forgiving others might be one of the most challenging things we do, especially in light of the very real feelings of hurt and betrayal that we sometimes experience. But the fact is forgiven people forgive like Jesus forgave. So, how can the followers of Jesus do this very difficult task of extending forgiveness to others? The truth is, the power to forgive is generally not something we possess on our own but comes from the Holy Spirit

“There is a misconception that if couples will focus on their marriage or their family then all will be well. This is simply not the case. Humans were never intended to  be the centerpiece of marriage. That special place is set aside for God, and couples who focus on pleasing Him by accomplishing His mission through their marriage find themselves falling more and more in love with one another.”

"Our marriages should be appealing to those around us because our marriages are a snapshot of our relationship with Jesus. Not only that, Jesus modeled for believers the qualities necessary to live a Godly life and have an amazing marriage. If husbands and wives will begin imitating Jesus’ example of humility and selflessness our marriages will be healthier, and those around us will surely notice.”

“What would our marriages look like if they oozed the Good News of the Gospel? Would our marriages be more inspiring to other couples and more attractive example for our kids to have as they consider a spouse? All the pieces are there, because the Gospel is about Jesus taking broken people and restoring them, and every marriage is made up of broken people. The way we interact with our spouse can be a living embodiment of the Good News!"
