Sunday,  November 20,  2011 Many religions are based on teachings which direct people to respond in living in particular ways in order to gain some sort of future blessing.  The basis of the teaching is for the person to better himself. Christianity does also teach people how they are to live, but the means and motivation for living is totally DIFFERENT.  First, the means or ability to living a life pleasing to God is based on a new spiritual life dynamic which one receives when trusting in and placing total allegiance in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  Second, the motivation  to live this changed life is due to the new spiritual life within and a new desire within to please the Lord Jesus, Who has already given the person eternal life. In the AM service we will be considering this difference as we study Ephesians 4: 17-24. Download MP3 Audio

Is it "trespasses" or "debts" or either?  This is the first question that some think about when the prayer Jesus taught His followers is thought of. But before considering this, the fact is the prayer itself should be referred to as "The Disciples' Prayer" because it was a prayer Jesus taught the disciples to pray for themselves and others.   Another observation before answering the question is that asking for forgiveness is the only request in the prayer that Jesus adds additional comments. "Forgive . . . and Father will forgive you and do not forgive . . . and the Father will not forgive you".   During the Communion Service this Sunday, we will be considering what forgiveness means, what does Jesus mean when He adds this qualification to the prayer and when should a Christian forgive? As to the question "trespasses" or "debts" or either, we will also try to clear that up from God's Word.  Download MP3 Audio
