What was it about Isaac’s blessing over Jacob (wasn’t he totally scammed?) that was called faith from God’s perspective? Weren’t they just words and couldn’t he just have cancelled them out and released them over Esau instead? What’s with blessing, really? You might be surprised to realize the intentions of God around this concept of blessing. It was actually a part of the creation story, Noah’s story, Abraham’s story and now central for our story! Jesus taught blessing and got His friends to practice blessing. Through the Scripture, testimonies of blessing and some encouragement, catch a hold of the power of blessing!

Identical twin sister to Mary (we confuse others often). Worshipper of the One. Karaoke enthusiast. Runner...

Forgiveness is a choice we are left to make daily. When we zoom into looking at forgiveness and our call to forgive others, we find that the place all forgiveness truly flows from is the cross. We explore the parable of the unmerciful servant and see how God has freely forgiven each of us and in return is calling us to freely forgive. Throughout the message, we discuss several barriers to forgiveness in our relationships and marriages and the consequences of the prison we find ourselves in when we choose unforgiveness. No matter how much you are struggling with unforgiveness; you are in good company. None of us can forgive by our own power. It is only through surrender to Jesus and the miracle of the Holy Spirit within us that has the power to forgive. Scripture Reading: Matthew 18:21-35 I. The...
