I think we have a new tradition

Yesterday's outside service and potluck picnic was a Success!

We'll have to make it a regular part of the church calendar!

We also had the privilege of dedicating Sawyer William Badley to Jesus in yesterday's outdoor service.

Here's a few thoughts from yesterday's sermon:

Continuing sermon series: GOD IS BIGGER...than your hurt!

Psalm 55

How can I handle my hurt? 2 things to do:

1. Bring your hurt to God

2. Forgive the person that hurt you

The main reason we get so hurt is because we expect other people to meet needs only God can meet!

We can cooperate with God for our healing through...Prayer, Worship, Relationships, and Ministry!

Why should we forgive?

1. We've been forgiven by God

2. Resentment makes us miserable

3. We're going to need forgiveness in the future

Forgiveness does not mean...

...that what they did to hurt you was ok.

...that the relationship goes back to how it was.

...that they won't pay any consequences for what they did.

Even after forgiveness and healing, you're going to have scars.

You have a choice: every time you look at the scar you can either remember the hurt or remember your Healer...
