If God really forgave us just like we forgive others, what would happen? If we forgave others just like God forgives us, what would happen?

The only cure for the venom of sin is Jesus Christ.

One of the most common struggles with prayer is what to say after, “Dear God.” It can sound like a list of silly demands. And the really big stuff is so monumental we sometimes don’t know where to begin. Help is here.

Bask in the resurrection peace that Jesus gives us in a life surrounded by threats.

Do you find life (or God) is unfair? Meet Jonah. The prophet who was called to preach repentance to a wicked city thought God’s patience was too long and his grace too abundant. Yet, it wasn’t until God taught Jonah personally about his patient grace toward the prophet that Jonah understood God’s love for the lost. Christians today who wonder about God’s fairness and the lost will find the personal grace they receive from God is the same grace God wants them to extend to their neighbor and the world.

Paul has taught us in this letter that our salvation was God's plan executed by Jesus (Ch 1), and it's based on grace, which forms the basis of the Church (Ch 2). In Ch 3 he explains implications of grace in our relationships. Grace causes the Jew to love the Gentile and vice versa. Grace is an absolute "mystery" to the world and therefore the defining characteristic of Christ and his Church.

The unreal story of the rich man and poor Lazarus teaches us that the word of God is awesome!!

In a crowd of people if you hear your name, there’s this urge to go and hear what’s being said. God loves hearing his name and discovering what you have to say to him, or about him, in prayer.

Unreal people with real life stories: The shrewd manager.

This lesson will clear up for so many of us why we see the divisions we see in the world. Spiritually speaking, sinful pride leads us to naturally create "dividing walls" that we deem lesser than us, to try to establish our own identity. But those of us who are "in Christ" are given unique resources to break down dividing walls of society as Jesus has broken down hostility for us.
