Sin is something that each and every person in this earth must deal with...there's no way around it. And as we just heard from Pastor Terry...our sin has been taken care of. That is, IF you put your faith in Jesus Christ as your LORD and Savior.

Even those that seem unloveable can be loved when we stop and consider what God has done for us...how much He loves us. Today Pastor Terry will remind us of the parable that Jesus taught about forgiveness. We need to always remember that God loved us so much that He gave His one and only Son to die in our place.

This world in which we live can sometimes discourage us from doing what God has called us to do. God may open doors for you to share His love with someone only to meet rejection. Christian, don't be discouraged, continue to be faithful to declare the Good News of Jesus Christ to those around you.

It seems like this world and all it's entrapment

There are a lot of people out there that see going to church on Sunday as the end of their religious expression. But, the truth is, our lives must be completely centered around the person of Christ. Once this change takes place, all that we see and know if then filtered through that lens...the lens of Messiah and His Word.

In 1 John chapter three...it says that if we abide in God, we CAN NOT sin!!! Stop and ask yourself, have I sinned today? If you're honest, the resounding answer will be, YES!!! So, what is the Holy Spirit trying to tell us through these verses? Today Pastor Terry will continue explaining the heart of this text.

There have been quite a few different opinions as to what John is talking about in chapter three regarding sin and the Christian. If we sin, do we lose our salvation? Or does that mean we were never saved? Today Pastor Terry teaches us what God's heart is regarding this matter...a Christian simply cannot live a life of habitual sin.

Hatred for God's Word and His instruction for our lives motivates some of the most wicked behavior known to man. Today we'll consider the Cain and how his hatred and jealousy towards his brother Able motivated him to the point of murder. And don't be deceived, Jesus said the same wickedness is in our hearts.

There's a miraculous occurrence in the life of one who comes to God through faith in Jesus. The heart is changed from one of hatred to a heart filled with God's love. And God's love is understood through His Word. We know that loving God is obeying His Word.

Emotions certainly are a gift from God. In many ways, emotions are how we express ourselves to one another. But, the enemy knows that he can take our emotions and twist into something God never intended. And that's just what Terry was just talking about...sometimes our emotions even deceive us to the point, that we don't believe that we're even saved!
