Forgiven & Forgiving: We are constantly walking through the simultaneous action of beingforgiven by God and forgiving others. Our debt is far greater than those who sin against us!2. Debtors & Slaves: Biblically, someone is a slave to whoever they owe a debt. We were bornas slaves to sin, but have offered the opportunity to become slaves of God. Choose your Master.3. Limitless Forgiveness: Forgiving others becomes easier when we realize how great our debt isto God and how gracious he was to forgive us. No one gets forgiveness because they deserve it.Dig Deeper:1. Why is forgiveness so difficult when someone has sinned against us?2. Share a testimony of something God delivered you from when you were a “slave to sin.”3. What does it mean to become “slaves to righteous living?”4. How do we typically approach the concept of forgiving others? Do we love them afterwards?5. Take a few moments and contemplate if there is someone you need to forgive. What is stopping you?

Sacred Responsibility: Prayer is not just about asking God for what we want. It fulfills thesacred responsibility of caring for others by lifting them and their needs in prayer.2. Prayer Motives: Why we pray is just as important as the things for which we are praying.James reminds us that our motives must be pure and Godly for our prayers to be answered.3.

Sermon Title: The Parable of the Two SonsScripture: Matt. 21:28-32, John 8:34-41, Gal. 3:6-9 & 29, Jas. 2:26Main Points: 1. Love in Action: Our intentions do not define our love for God. It is our actions that we liveout daily that displays the depth (or lack thereof) of my love for God and his will.2. Heritage Cannot Save: A lineage of faithfulness does not connect us to God. We areindividually connected or disconnected from God. It's a relationship, not an association.3. Firm Faith: Faith is not simply belief. Faith is belief in action. Without action, it is not faith.We only act upon that which we truly believe. That should tell us a lot about our true beliefs.Dig Deeper:1. Share a story of a time when you knew you should obey God in something but didn't.2. Why does obedience to God (even when we've done it grudgingly) feel so good in the end?3. Who in your family tree is the “Pillar of Faith” that you look up to?4. What are some things you think you believe but struggle to walk out in faith?5. What is something you've been avoiding that you need to obey? It's not too late!Note:There are over 30 parables that Jesus taught throughout his ministry. The point of them was to use simple concepts to teach deep and difficult theological ideas. They are not whimsical or merely recommendations. They are some of the most important lessons of Christianity. In this one, Jesus shows that intentions are no comparison to action. Our faith in action is the only way to truly obey God. Many people think they are secure in their relationship with God because of their lineage of faith. Some may even say, “My mom is religious enough for all of us!” That truly isn't the case. Faith is a relationship with God, not an association with God's people. We aren't included by default. We follow by decision. Our decisions speak the truth about our true beliefs. We will not follow through on things that we do not actually believe. If we do not believe them, then we have not truly accepted the message of Jesus. This is why obedience is so important. Sometimes, we have to obey to make ourselves believe instead of waiting until we believe to start obeying.

Endurance: It is not just about starting the race, we have to finish. Jesus reminds us thatsalvation is a marathon that must be run to the end or we will miss the prize of eternity.2. Active Faith: True faith is alive and active. It reproduces itself and reproduces the Gospel inthe lives of others. It is so much more than the personal thing we make it.3. Compassion: Jesus offers more than a social Gospel. The activity of our salvation shouldproduce a heart that sees the needs of others and seeks to be a blessing to the least of these.Dig Deeper:1.

The Cost of Salvation: To truly accept the gift of salvation means that we have to rejecteverything that isn't part of that salvation. We forsake all others and cleave only to God.2. The Cost of Following: We say that we are “following Jesus,” but the truth is we are oftentrying to lead him and include him. Following means surrender and a second seat to Jesus.3.
