How to Forgive the Unforgivable, Part 7
When we’ve been hurt and we realize that what our offenders meant for evil, God actually meant for good, then we understand that those who do evil towards us don’t control our lives by anything that they can do to us. Instead, God controls the outcome and intends for us to go through certain things so we can become more like He wants us to be.

Treasured Truth Weekend - Understanding Misunderstanding, Part 1

How to Forgive the Unforgivable, Part 3

How to Forgive the Unforgivable, Part 2
Forgiving can be so hard, especially when the wrong done to us seems unforgiveable. But when we look at Jesus at Calvary, whatever was done to us was not as bad as what was done to Him on the cross. And He said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!” If Jesus sought forgiveness for his offenders, so can we.

Are You Worth Your Salt?, Part 3
We’ll continue to explore how Jesus compared believers to salt and discover that in those days, when salt had lost its savor—or lost its potential property to bring flavor—they would take it and throw it out in the road for people to walk on it. And today Pastor Ford will explain what Jesus meant when He compared certain believers to savorless salt.

Are You Worth Your Salt?, Part 2
Pastor Ford will explain today what Jesus meant when He said that believers are the salt of the earth. They add zest to an otherwise bland world. Others see their joy, they see their love, they see their commitment and are drawn to Christ. But why aren’t people being drawn to some believers? Because maybe, they are not worth their salt.
