Blessings and Cursing

January 15, 2023

Jeff-Manion
Teaching Pastor:

Pastor Jeff Manion walks us through Peter’s instructions about not repaying evil for evil. Through this conversation, we see that Christians should respond to insult or meanness in a way that is extremely different than the world. We are challenged to desire the well-being of those who hurt us instead of the undoing.

Saved

Your Past, Present, and Future Rescue The word "saved" gets used a lot in church. But what does it really mean to be saved? In this series, we look at how salvation works. It's not just something that happened to us in the past. It's something God is doing in us right now, and something he will finish one day. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).
