"Total Forgiveness: How to Know We Have Totally Forgiven"
Listen to Message (MP3) >>
View in "iTunes Preview" >>

Description: Because forgiveness is so “unnatural”, we seldom see a crystal clear picture of what it looks like. Today, we’ll paint that picture in hopes of making forgiveness real and routinely practiced. “With forgiveness, my life is no longer defined by the pain, but by the future possibilities.” What a great quote! Jesus paid a great price and forgave so your life need not be chained to pain. We too can forgive and fulfill our great destinies.

Description: The writer John Milton once said, “He that studies revenge keeps his own wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.” Revenge seems so sweet but it doesn’t work. The Word declares that God’s ways are higher than man’s ways. His ways lead to life, peace and victory! Today, let’s further learn why forgiveness is in your best interest and see what Total Forgiveness does not mean.

Description: To totally forgive is in your best interest. Although this may seem counterintuitive (not logical), it is, nevertheless true. Scripture tells us we walk by faith, not by sight. It takes faith to put retribution into God’s hands. God is able to work through the pain and frustrations of fallen humanity and bring forth something sweet if we will trust Him. Will you trust Him? Today, we continue our message on Total Forgiveness.

"The Great Giveaway"

Description: We’ve all heard of the gift that keeps giving. Perhaps it’s a specialty tree that continually bears sweet fruit. Maybe it’s a gas card to be billed monthly to the giver for five years. The gospel far surpasses such a gift! The Apostle Paul told the Colossians that the gospel he brought to them, “…is bearing fruit and growing” as it had from the first day that they heard it (Col 1:5-6). Today we will discover our great opportunities to share the gospel with our entire world!

Description: “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” II Cor 9:15 Even the great Apostle Paul was speechless when it came to expressing thanks for God’s gift to the world. At Christmas we remind ourselves, “Jesus is the reason for the season!” If that is truly so, why not take full advantage of the season? Why not show appreciation for the gift we have received and pay if forward to others? Today, we’ll be reminded of three things needed to be effective in passing God’s indescribable gift of Jesus and God’s grace to our world.

Description: Grace reached far beyond its initial impact in your life. You are saved by grace and then changed and empowered by grace. Grace reveals Jesus to your heart and then renews you into His image. John 1:16 says, “And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.” It just keeps coming! When correctly received and understood, grace has lasting influence in your life!

Description: This week Penn State has been shaken to the core. Unreported child molestation has resulted in the firing of beloved coach Joe Paterno. Child sexual abuse is reported daily in the news. Much goes unreported. It affects individuals, families and the church. For healing to occur, we can’t live in denial. Today we’ll look at the correct application of grace and truth that comes through Jesus.

Description: Everyone has a past. None of us can enter a time machine to retrace our past steps. Are we then shackled to the effects of past sins and transgressions? Today’s good news is found in John 1:17. “Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” Can grace make a difference in my life? That is the question we explore today. In Christ there is freedom to move from past failure to a glorious future!

Description: Last week as we drove through breathtaking mountain scenery we were awed! It seemed like around each curve was a snapshot of our magnificent country. Remember the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words!” This month, our team has painted a picture of God’s glorious plan for Erie Christian Fellowship. We have seen what great things God did during 2011 and anticipated what He will do during 2012. Today - Commitment Sunday - is our opportunity to become a part in making this vision a reality. Thank you for your love and generosity. Today, each of us take a step of faith and trust God with our giving. In doing so, remember this amazing promise found in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
