FORGIVENESS OVERCOMES THE PAST 

And forgive our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.  Matthew 6:12 NLT 

Then the master called the servant in.  You wicked servant, he said I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.  Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?  In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should

LETTING GO OF LONELINESS

LETTING GO OF LONELINESS 

November 10, 2024   Sam Goins

You have needs in your life and no one to meet them.  

You have hurts to share and no one to listen to them. 

You have love to give and no one to receive it. 

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.    Genesis 1:1 NIV 

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” Genesis 2:18 NLT

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.                             Romans 8:1-2

6 Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”  Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him.  He began by saying to them,

What role does God play in your happiness?  

God wants you to experience happiness, but not at the expense of holiness.  

… Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. 15But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. 16For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.”   1 Peter 1:14-16 NLT

“Love that Lasts”

“Love that Lasts”

October 6, 2024  Chaplain Doug Kinder

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.   1 Corinthians 13:4-9

Why Don’t I Feel Like Enough?

September 29, 2024  Sam Goins 

Without Christ, I am not enough.  

Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ … Colossians 2:8-10 NLT 

When I believe I’m enough, I don’t seek th

WHEN SELF-LOVE IS SELFISH

September 22, 2024  Sam Goins 

Putting ourselves first is one of the most natural things we do. 

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.            Philippians 2:3-4 NIV 

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,

The Danger With “Your Truth” 

September 15, 2024  Sam Goins

“… the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. ...     John 18:37-38 NIV 

What Is Truth? 

Truth is absolute, constant, and true for everyone, everywhere, all the time. 

What if “your truth” is a trap? 

 There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.    Proverbs 14:12 NLT

A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and
