Oct 18, 2010

2010-10-17-1800 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this evening October 17th, 2010 in the 6:00 service.

Scripture: I Thessalonians 4:9-12

Topic: Forgiveness

Notes:

- We are a melting pot of people; each seeing from his own perspective
- You are out of God’s will when you live in unforgiveness
- If I don’t forgive, I will not be forgiven
- Don’t call yourself “Reverend” if you aren’t proclaiming the gospel
- Unforgiveness affects everything else
- Satan is looking for a crevice to plant something among us (choir members in competition, resentment, hostility trying to worship... leads to hypocrisy and spiritual duplicity. Prayers fall to the ground)
- Don’t evaluate life by this moment or make a decision when tired
- If you want the peace of God you must abound in love more & more
- We are offensive people.  It is human nature.  Be smarter than the devil by living on our knees.
- Display forgiveness as a testimony that God is living inside
- You are never justified to hate or live in anger
- Some people always in a fight because unforgiveness has taken root
- Forgiveness will get your peace back... maybe not your money, position or reputation
- Love never fails; forgiveness always wins
