This Sunday at New Life!

Join us Sunday as we focus on the greatest reality of God's salvation in Jesus Christ: FORGIVENESS!  The message title is "Forgiven and Forgiving!" and it's the fifth of a seven-part message series focusing on the Lord's Prayer.  God's forgiveness to us is the most powerful spiritual weapon ever.  In fact, When Martin Luther penned the great hymn, "A MIghty Fortress Is Our God," he wrote, "...The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him.  One little word shall fell him."  What is the word?  Some would say, "Love!" and that would be a good word, but there is a word that causes the devil to tremble even more:  FORGIVE!  After all, as Jesus received the nails in His hands and feet on the day of His crucifixion, He did not say, "Father LOVE them, for they don't know what they're doing."  He said, "Father FORGIVE them, for they don't know what they are doing."  We all want to be forgiven.  In fact, our eternal future depends on God forgiving us, but as we'll see on Sunday, once we have been forgiven God EXPECTS (and DEMANDS) that we will forgive others!  I hope you'll be there as we see how to do just that!  (If you have friends in for the weekend---BRING THEM, TOO!)
