Thank God It’s Sunday: Pardon the Mess - 10/27/24

Reveal Answer

is not something we do on a Sunday, but who we are every day.

As long as churches have people they will have issues.

“If anyone has caused pain, he has caused pain not so much to me but to some degree—not to exaggerate—to all of you. This punishment by the majority is sufficient for that person. As a result, you should instead forgive and comfort him. Otherwise, he may be overwhelmed by excessive grief. Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him.”
—2 Corinthians 2:5–8, CSB

“I wrote for this purpose: to test your character to see if you are obedient in everything. Anyone you forgive, I do too. For what I have forgiven—if I have forgiven anything—it is for your benefit in the presence of Christ, so that we may not be taken advantage of by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his schemes.”
—2 Corinthians 2:9–11, CSB

“And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your wrongdoing.””
—Mark 11:25, CSB

Unless we are right with one-another we can’t be right with Jesus.

This mess we call church is a beautiful mess only because of grace.
