New Sermon Series“Forgiveness”

Jesus was clear in his teaching: He offers us God's forgiveness and instructs us to forgive one another. Why is this so hard? What is it that makes us so unforgiving of ourselves and of each other? In this series, Pastor Ricky delves into one of the greatest issues we confront as human

beings. We'll take an honest, realistic look at how to seek, extend and accept forgiveness. July 9, 2017 – “As Far As the East is From the West” July 16, 2017 – “Forgiveness and Marriage”July 23, 2017 – “Forgiving Others” July 30, 2017 – “Forgiving Families”
