Pain that Can't be Prayed Away

earnestly in prayer? Hearing how Jesus
replied when God said "no" to him helps us
to understand and gives us an example of
what to do when God says "no" to us.

Promises that Seem to be Broken
When healing doesn't come or when we feel
God has not protected us from harm, a
deeper understanding of the purpose of
Jesus' ministry helps us make sense of our
experience.

coffee & snacks

11:00 12:30 Message III: Hear Jesus Speak About...
Offenses That Don't Deserve to be Forgiven
It's easy to feel like some hurts and some
people just don't deserve to be forgiven.
Jesus felt that type of hurt from that type of
people and he shows us what to do.

Hearing Jesus Speak
A Study of the Gospels

So many voices seek to interpret the
words and ministry of Jesus. Yet it is his
voice we want to hear clearly, his
instructions we want to follow faithfully,
his call we want to answer gladly.
Join us as we listen to the words of Jesus,
spoken in the midst of deep struggle, as
he reached out to heal, as he instructed
his disciples, and as he hung on the
cross. As we listen, we'll learn more
about the purposes of his earthly
ministry and what to expect in his
eternal kingdom.

As we hear Jesus speak, we'll understand
more about what it means to be living in
this time between the cross and his
return, when everything of which Jesus
gave us a glimpse during his earthly
ministry will become the reality we live
in for all eternity.
