Sermon Notes:
Scripture Reading: Genesis 33:1-20 (p. 34) Matt Carpenter, Pastoral Intern Morning Message: Jacob and Esau Travis Simone, Lead Pastor
We have been studying the Gospel which leads to a right relationship with God, but there’s more to the story. The Gospel leads to a right relationship with God AND right relationships with people. Yet we know there are speed bumps and road blocks on the path to right relationships with others, and often issues surrounding forgiveness are lurking beneath relational breakdowns. We will spend five weeks looking at forgiveness through the lens of biblical relationships that required forgiveness. Each relationship will help us understand a different aspect of forgiveness and help us gain insight into how we are to forgive, when we are to forgive and why we are to forgive. We hope the whole story of the Gospel, right relationship with God and others, will be embraced and applied in our community, as we study The Gospel in Relationships.
Song of Response: By Thy Mercy Benediction: Rich Sylvester, Associate Pastor
