Our Forgiveness in Jesus Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

Today we continue our weeklong focus on forgiveness, by looking at the incredible gift of forgiveness we’ve been offered in Jesus. Every command God has given us, he has already supplied the grace to live in obedience to. Forgiveness is no different. May we find the grace to forgive as we rest in the forgiveness we’ve already been offered through our Savior.

Our Scripture for today comes from Ephesians 4:32, and today's worship is Set Free by Hope Darst.

Message From Craig:

We're launching a summer initiative partnering with generous donors like you to rapidly guide more believers to the presence of God through First15. And I need your help.

I ask you to prayerfully consider what you are able to give today to help us reach more people with First15. For every $1 you can give today, we can bring a real person into consistent connection with God. That’s a real person spending time daily in worship, reading, and prayer. That’s a real person going into their day with love to give, because they’ve met with Love himself.

Thank you for your continued generosity and prayers. We cannot do this without you.

The Nature of Forgiveness is Mercy Aug 13, 2020

Show notes

Offering forgiveness to others is one of the most difficult and important aspects of the Christian life. But Scripture clearly commands us to forgive others. In this week of the First15 podcast, we’re going to look at how God longs to fashion us into his likeness that we might model the love we’ve been shown to a world with no concept of mercy. May you be filled with courage and boldness this to offer forgiveness to those in desperate need of grace. And may God’s love shine through as you enter into your calling as a minister of reconciliation.

Our Scripture for today comes from Luke 6:36-37, and today's worship is Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me by CityAlight.

Today on the First15 Podcast we’re joined by Kim Walker-Smith, one of the most well-known female worship leaders in the world!

His Grace is Sufficient Aug 06, 2020

Show notes

Grace is a gift most of us don’t know how to receive. We’ve been so inundated with the earthly systems of give-and-get and work-and-earn that grace is a concept few ever fully grasp. Yet it’s grace alone that has the power to transform lives. Grace alone has the power to bring freedom to the captives. By grace alone we are saved. Today we’re launching a new series, taking time every day to discover and receive the grace of our good and loving Father.

Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Corinthians 12:9, and today's worship is By the Grace of God by Bethel Music.
