Pastor Bill Bush · Dec 6, 2022
Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13:5 and the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18, Pastor Bill argues that keeping score in relationships breeds irritability and destroys love. Real forgiveness — understood correctly as letting go rather than forgetting, minimizing, or automatically reconciling — is the only path out of self-imposed imprisonment. Because followers of Jesus have been forgiven an impossible debt they could never repay, they are both compelled and empowered by the gospel to extend that same unconditional forgiveness to others, again and again, as the starting point of any healing.
Pastor Daniel Goulding · Apr 8, 2018
Through the life and writings of Solomon — the wisest, wealthiest man who ever lived — Pastor Daniel shows that every pursuit 'under the sun' (wealth, wisdom, pleasure, power) moves in a cul-de-sac circle that never delivers lasting contentment. The reason is theological: God has 'planted eternity in the human heart' (Ecclesiastes 3:11), so only life with the Son of God can fulfill what temporary things never can. True freedom comes not from accumulating more but from stewarding what God has given with courage and trust, discovering that less truly becomes more.
