Sermon Series - The Power of Forgiveness

Do you feel like God may never forgive you for something you've done? Have you ever hurt somebody and wished to be forgiven? Do you spend time thinking about how someone has wronged you? To forgive means "to cease to feel resentment against; to pardon" (Webster). You're invited for the next five Sundays to come hear about forgiveness and it's importance.
- April 11 - Why Should I Forgive Myself? Luke 6:41-42
- April 18 - How Do I Forgive Myself? Philippians 3:13-19
- April 25 - Why Should I Forgive Others? Ephesians 4:31-32

Join Dido for a Study of James
Begins April 14, 11 am on Zoom
By faith we are reborn into the family of God. The Book of James agrees. However, God wants more than saved infants. God wants mature sons and daughters. Faith is foundational, but it must be a genuine, proven faith, evident to the world. The Book of James is a challenge to Christians of every age to keep growing up in Christ. Here's what we will be studying each Wednesday (dates indicated may change):
- April 14 - Facing Trials - James 1:1-8
- April 21 - Trial or Temptation? - James 1:9-18
- April 28 - Doing What You Hear - James 1:19-27
- May 5 - No Favorites - James 2:1-13
- May 12 - Genuine Faith - James 2:14-26
- May 19 - Controlling the Tongue - James 3:1-12
- May 26 - Wisdom - James 3:13-18
- June 2 - Whose Friend? - James 4:1-10
- June 9 - More on Pride - James 4:11-5:6
- June 16 & 23 - no group
- June 30 - Patience and Prayer - James 5:7-20

Online Worship - 10:45 am
In Person Worship - 10:30 am
In-Person worship will continue to begin at 10:30 am and online worship will begin at 10:45 am (With the exception of Easter Sunday when both will begin at 10:30 am)! Dido is hoping to make online worship more inviting to first-time guests through making online worship a little shorter and filled with more active content.
