Everyone wants to be the King…Sooner or later:You can’t tell the original from the disciple. 1 John 1:1-4 Introduction, The Incarnate Word 1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life— 2 and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too…

A Gospel Tough Enough, Too

A Gospel Tough Enough•the more horrible •the more fearful •the more uncertain •the more unstable •the more stomach-turning  •the more relevant the gospel of Jesus Christ is! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 The Fact of Christ’s Resurrection 15 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast [a]the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you [b]as of first importance…

Getting Along…Too

A new generation will ignore these principles to their peril. “Fail” Starting Points: 1.“If only he would change!” 2.“If only she would treat me better.” 3.“He ought to do…!” “Success starts here…” 1.Choose one thing you can do to make things better. 2.Expect the best.

My Fair Share Too

•This one area—I am glad that I did not get a fair deal. •Here I will never demand my rights. •I will not insist on what should be coming to me. •I will remain forever silent. •I will simply be thankful that I got ‘short-changed.’ Psalm 103:10-11 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,So great is His lovingkindness toward those who [a]fear Him.

Overlook an Offense, Too

Forgiveness is not… ⦁ Forgiveness is not avoidance— ⦁ Forgiveness is not making light of something we find hurtful by saying, “It doesn’t matter.” Forgiveness is not Simply trying to forget… ⦁ “Forgiveness means that we are not going to allow the experiences of the past to dominate our future.” Matthew 6:14-15 14 For if you forgive [a]others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive [b]others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.
