Peter comes to Jesus with a question about forgiveness and his "generous" suggestion. Instead of simply answering the question, Jesus tells a story to help us see that unless we recognize how much we have been forgiven by God, we will not be willing to forgive one another. Listen to find out how many times you must forgive your brother or sister who sins against you.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas face a community divided between faith and unbelief. Some respond with worship, some with hostility. This sermon explores the irrationality of unbelief—how people can reject clear evidence of God's power—and contrasts it with the enduring witness of God, who patiently displays His truth and mercy through His servants. We reflect on what it means to trust a God who is faithful even when the world resists Him, and how we can stand as witnesses of His grace in a skeptical world.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.
