BIBLICAL FORGIVENESS HOW TO FIND JOY IN THE HEALING OF BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS
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. Eph. 4:31-32 Do not pray for easy lives, pray to be stronger people. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers, pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at the richness of a life which has come to you by the grace of God. –Phillip Brooks |

THE SUPERIORITY OF GOD’S BOOK To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
There is something about human nature that accepts over time the most controversial of change but would be appalled at the same innovation being abruptly introduced. I think the enemy of our soul is on to this characteristic of mankind. And, I think he regularly takes advantage of it. –GR Our Purpose: Using the language of medicine and claiming the reliability of science, teachers have introduced theories and methodologies into the church that have subtly, but surely, pushed aside the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word. The results of such an incursion has been the cutting off of struggling believers from the powerful, life-giving, bondage-freeing, soul-satisfying truth of God. Our goal here is to uncover those theories and restore a full confidence in truth found only in God’s Word. |

God’s Book of Joy “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:1-2 OUR PURPOSE: God is infinitely glorious. All that God has done in creation and redemption was done to enable us see and savor His glory. God speaks by the Holy Spirit and through the written Word to enable us to enter into the joy of the Lord. Therefore, it is the purpose of this session to help us to see that the greatest motive for devotion to God’s Word is not duty but delight. The Bible is a book of joy. May God give us a new joy as we devour his Word. |
