    How has your view of forgiveness changed after knowing God has forgiven you? (Ephesians 4: 25-32)

     

    Our view of forgiveness is so much broader because of the forgiveness we have received from God. It is pretty amazing to think that God loves us that much to forgive all our sins past, present and future. Because of God's forgiveness we work hard to forgive even the "big" offenses with His help.

It is everything that we need for today for ourselves, for others, our churches, and the world. There is enough grace issued from God’s throne to cope with all the sorrows, the heartaches, the difficulties, the temptations, the trials we face and more added to that. Through this five-day plan, readers will be reassured and thankful once again for God’s amazing grace.

    BOOKS

    The Good and Beautiful God By James Bryan Smith
    "God wants me to try harder." "God blesses me when I'm good and punishes me when I'm bad." "God is angry with me." We all have ideas that we tell ourselves about God and how he works in our lives. Some are true--but many are false. James Bryan Smith believes those thoughts determine not only who we are, but how we live. Turning to the Gospels, Smith invites you to put your ideas to the test to see if they match up with what Jesus himself reveals about God. Once you've discovered the truth in Scripture, Smith leads you through a process of spiritual formation that includes specific activities aimed at making these new narratives real in your body and soul as well as your mind.  

    Available in the Next Steps room for $10.
