Pictures of forgiveness are powerful and rare.

That moment in the courtroom was shared over and over on Facebook as we all watched the incredible display of remarkable forgiveness. This morning we are going to look deeper into that miracle of forgiveness with Ruth Graham, who along with Cindy Lambert, has shared her story in the book, Forgiving My Father, Forgiving Myself.

Matthew Soerens: The Refugee Crisis

Over 70 million people have been forced to leave their homes around the world. That number translates to one man, woman, and child leaving their home every 2 seconds. The refugee crisis is one that is often overlooked by the world as whole families, communities, and tribes are left for years in refugee camps, waiting for an opportunity to move forward and build new futures. Wednesday we’ll talk about the role of the global church in the midst of this mass resettlement with Matthew Soerens from World Relief. Matthew will speak to the current situation and we’ll take time to pray for the millions of families currently without a home and country.

Todd Nettleton: Voice of the Martyrs

It’s the middle of the week and for many of us that means church activities like prayer meeting, Awana, small groups, and youth group. Tonight we will freely talk of Jesus and open His Word, and as we do that may we remember the thousands of brothers and sisters around the world who do not have that freedom today. As these brothers and sisters go through their day, they wonder if this will be the week that they are sent to prison or if their unbelieving family members will turn them in or seek to take their lives. Wednesday is the day we hear their stories with Todd Nettleton from Voice of the Martyrs. Todd will be sharing specific testimonies and prayer requests along with practical ways we can encourage the persecuted church. He’ll also point to a day that your church can highlight the Persecuted Church in November.

Jason Crosby: Worry

Do you struggle with the W word, that is worry? You desire to have peace and full trust, but your mind races and your thoughts run ahead to what could or could not happen? Tuesday morning Station Manager Jason Crosby looks to words of Jesus to help us with the struggle we have with worry. Be listening for a deeper study into a very common, often dismissed, habit that is contrary to how God desires for us to live.

Jeff Lucas: Notorious

What can be learned from the bad guys of the Bible? Tuesday Pastor Jeff Lucas describes for us some of the lessons that can be learned from those less than stellar Bible characters. Jeff will share some of what we learn from Cain and the Elder brother. Yes, we may want to see ourselves in the role of Bible hero, but more likely, we all have tendencies that align with some of the Bible’s notorious characters. It’s a conversation that takes a fresh look at some of the struggles and temptations that are common to all of us in hopes of avoiding destructive consequences and living a way that leads to life.
