Words are powerful. They can beat us down and lift us up. They wound and they heal. And the right words at the right time can be exactly what we need to hear—or what we need to say. Preached at www.lifechurch.tv.

Most of us have been hurt by someone we know or someone we love. Sometimes, our reaction is to disconnect from that person and hold a grudge or to hurt that person in the same way. However, holding grudges and seeking revenge will not take away our hurt, but it can take away our happiness. The best thing we can do is to forgive others because we all need forgiveness at times.

He said that is the imminence of God. God with us. God Most Nigh. Preached at National Community Church. Used by permission.

Francis Chan discusses the joy and freedom that comes from receiving grace, a gift that compels us to live a life completely devoted to God.

We often trade what we've decided and what we know is most important for a bowl of stew. What’s true of Esau is true of you. You have no idea what God wants to accomplish through your life. You have no idea what God wants to accomplish in your church, ministry, community. And nobody is going to be standing beside you to help you re-frame the temptation. But God knows and you are going to want to be there. So re-frame and then refrain. But whatever you do, don’t trade your future for a bowl of stew. WAIT A BRIEF MOMENT FOR mp3 AUDIO TO BEGIN.
