Psalm Reading

Psalm 103:1-13 (NRSV taken from BibleGateway)

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits -- 3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, 5 who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6 The Lord works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed. 7 He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. 8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. 9 He will not always accuse, nor will he keep his anger forever. 10 He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us. 13 As a father has compassion for his children, so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.

Scripture & Sermon

"Forgive and forget!" It's easier said than done. Forgiving someone doesn't always come naturally, and forgetting can be even harder! Thankfully, we are only required to forgive. Reverend James Hicks illustrates why forgiveness is such a crucial aspect of a Christian's life in this week's message. Click the image below to read it.
