There's a surge happening in the Spirit. Do you sense it too? Maybe you've seen, felt, or discerned something new stirring. We do too! In this timely message, Kris Vallotton shares what he believes God is doing in this season and how it has real implications for each of our lives. Discover how the awe of God, childlike curiosity, and spiritual longevity are connected, and why each one matters deeply in your walk with Him. Be encouraged to stay zealous for the Lord, guard your wonder, and fan the flame of holy fire within you.

When was the last time you forgave someone from your heart—not because they deserved it, but because you remembered the mercy God gave you? In this honest and powerful message, Pastor Steve leads us through Jesus' parable of the unforgiving servant and invites us to confront the subtle pride that clings to our own record while holding others hostage to theirs.   We all crave grace, but extending it can feel impossible—especially when wounds run deep. This sermon reminds us that the weight of our own forgiven debt reshapes how we treat those who've hurt us. If you've been hurt, hardened, or haunted by resentment, listen in. Mercy isn't a theory—it's a way of life for those who've been changed by the Gospel.

Sunday Morning Worship10,000 Reasons to Forgive - Matthew 18:21-35Reagan FarrisJune 29, 2025Notes | https://calvarydothan.com/wp-content/uploads/2025_06_29_1.pdf

C.S. Lewis once said, “Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has something to forgive.” Isn't it interesting that, perhaps, the two most difficult phrases to utter are: “I'm sorry” and “I forgive you.”   In Matthew 18:21-35, Jesus responds to a question from Peter about the extent of forgiveness. Jesus answers with the parable of the unforgiving servant in order to illustrate the necessity of forgiveness. The parable highlights that because God has forgiven us much, we should extend forgiveness to others, even when it's difficult or seems impossible.   As we prepare to share in the Lord's Table this Sunday, Jesus' words are strong reminders of God's mercy and compassion in sending His Son to the cross on our behalf, and how that can and should motivate us to handle the difficult relationships in our lives.   I've come to learn that God is never more like God than when He forgives, and we are never more like God than we forgive. That says two things to me. First, we can find the forgiveness we are looking for and need in Him. Secondly, we can truly open our hearts to forgiving others when we understand how much we have been forgiven.

We forgive not because it's easy or deserved, but because we've been forgiven much. A gospel-shaped community will always be a community of forgiveness—powered by the mercy of God and grounded in the cross of Christ.

Daily Dose of Hope June 27, 2025   Scripture – Matthew 18:21-35   Prayer: Holy God, Thank you for your incredible mercy.  Your compassion is never-ending and your love is powerful.  We are overflowing with gratitude.  Help us demonstrate this same compassion and love toward others.  May we become people of grace and see people through your eyes.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  I just want to remind you all of our amazing worship night tonight at 7:30pm AND our special guest on Sunday.  Dr. David Wilkinson is giving the message in the English-speaking service.  He is a PhD in both astrophysics and theology and his life's work has centered on the intersection between the Christian faith and science.  After the 9:30 service, he has also agreed to a Q&A in the social hall, where a pancake and sausage brunch will be available by donation.  All donations will go to the Residing Hope Children's Home.   Today is part two of Matthew 18.  Here we have this very uncomfortable parable on forgiveness.  Peter wants to know how far should forgiveness be extended.  I mean, Jesus had just offered this conflict mediation model for churches to ensure that justice is upheld.  But what about mercy?  Jesus' answer is really fascinating.  He basically is saying, “Stop keeping count!”   Let's talk a bit about the parable itself.  A servant owes his master a huge sum of money, something like 10,000 bags of gold.  The servant was facing both imprisonment and the sale of his family to compensate for the debt.  He goes to the master and asks for mercy.  The readers are totally surprised – the master shows tremendous compassion and mercy.  He totally forgives the huge debt.  Unheard of and an act of extravagant compassion.   That same servant then goes demanding payment of a debt that a fellow servant owes him.  This isn't a big debt, but something smaller and more manageable.  When the fellow servant asks for more time, the forgiven servant refuses, denies compassion, and has the poor guy thrown in prison.   Seeing the injustice of all of this, there are whistleblowers that see what happens and let the master know.  The master is enraged and reinstates the man's debt.  How could he fail to show compassion after such great compassion was shown to him.  He is imprisoned and tortured.    While the ending is really horrific, Jesus is once again making a point.  Forgiveness is critical and yet it is very hard.  If we look at the whole of Matthew 18, we see the need of both holding people accountable and offering extravagant compassion and forgiveness.  How do we even begin to reconcile this as a church?  Upon doing research on this topic, one scholar suggested that the most powerful and instructive model is the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in post-apartheid South Africa, guided by Bishop Desmond Tutu. Reconciliation entails both the offer of forgiveness and the naming and acceptance of responsibility for wrongful, wounding conduct. This approach to mercy and justice is congruent with Jesus' call in Matthew 18 as a whole: while the faith community prioritizes grace and mercy, it also holds its members accountable for what they do to others.    But what else might Jesus be saying in this parable?  Pay compassion forward.  God has been extraordinarily compassionate toward us.  He gave his Son for us, so we might live abundantly now and in the future.  Our sins are forgiven, our slate has been wiped clean.  We owe Him a debt of gratitude.  And yet, here we see what that looks like in a practical way.  Show mercy, demonstrate compassion, love well, and forgive.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Donna, Becki, Joe, and John talk about this week's Bible passage in preparation for the upcoming Sunday message.

Daily Dose of Hope June 26, 2025   Scripture – Matthew 18:1-20   Prayer: Lord Jesus, We rejoice in you.  We praise your name.  You are the Alpha and the Omega, the one who was, and is, and is to come.  We cannot possibly express our gratitude in words.  You have offered us mercy but you have also given us freedom.  Thank you for that.  Help us live like free people.  Help us demonstrate your love and grace to others who cross our path.  Help us see people through your eyes.  We love you, Lord.  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Happy Thursday!  I want you to mark your calendars for the New Hope worship night, which is tomorrow at 7:30pm in the sanctuary.  This will be time of amazing praise and worship, as well as prayer and commissioning of the Ireland young adult mission team.  Hope to see you there!   Today, we are diving into Matthew 18, the first twenty verses.  The text starts with the disciples asking who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.  Jesus totally redirects this!  He gets the focus off the disciples and their own need for honor and puts it on the most vulnerable in their community.  Children at that time had no status, little value, and zero control over their lives.  Something like half of all children died before reaching adulthood.  Knowing all of that, Jesus tells his disciples that the one who becomes humble and “weak” like this child will be the greatest in the Kingdom.  In fact, unless they become like vulnerable little children, they won't even be able to enter the Kingdom. This is the total opposite of the honor and status that the disciples were wanting.   What is Jesus doing here?  He is placing the most powerless members of their society at the center.  Welcoming vulnerable children means welcoming Jesus.  And Jesus says that there are few fates worse than harming them or causing them to sin.   Then, Jesus says that there are many things in this world that can cause others to stumble.  Human beings take advantage of one another.  The powerful abuse the powerless.  But Jesus' warning here is pretty strong. Woe to the person who harms those who are weak and powerless, such as children.  His language then echoes the Sermon on the Mount.  It's better to gouge out an eye or cut off a limb than to allow those things to cause you to sin and harm a powerless one.   As I reread this, I couldn't help but think about all the children that are harmed.  Around the globe, something like three million children are trafficked each year, forced into forced labor, sexual exploitation, or child marriage.  In the United States, for which it is easier to get data, roughly 20,000 children are trafficked each year.  Almost 600,000 children in the U.S. experience abuse and/or neglect every year.  While the situation is certainly complicated, children aren't being protected.  And then there are other groups who are highly vulnerable, such as the elderly, the desperately poor, and the homeless.   This is pretty strong teaching here and it gives us practical examples of how to live in Christian community, solidly grounded in Jesus.  We are to set aside power, protect the vulnerable and those the rest of society neglects, and search for the lost sheep (as we read in the next portion of Scripture).  Jesus is all about protecting those who can't protect themselves and seeking out those who are lost.  The question is – are we?   I worry that we often focus on things that just aren't that important.  We worry about ourselves.  We worry about inward-focused things in the church.  We don't lay aside power.  We aren't humble.  What would it take for us to become like little children?  What would it take for us to really live in the way of Jesus?   The last portion of Scripture we are covering today is what we might call Jesus' conflict mediation model.  If someone sins against you, you go directly to that person and try to resolve it.  You don't immediately pick up your phone and share your frustration with your closest friends.  You don't post something rude on social media.  You don't decide to quit the church.  You actually go to that person and have the hard conversation.  Most of the time that works. But if that doesn't work, Jesus has more wisdom to share.  Go find some other trusted believers and bring them in to help resolve the dispute.  That should certainly take care of things but just in case it doesn't, take it to the church.  Do keep in mind that these were pretty small house churches so taking a dispute to the church would have looked differently than it does today.  Today, it probably would mean bringing it to the pastor or some church leaders, but ONLY after you have done the other steps.  We use this model in our own leadership teams here at New Hope.  While it may not always be someone sinning against us, it could be a miscommunication or a disagreement.  That's why if someone brings me a problem that involves another church member, I always ask, “Have you talked to that person already?”  Conflict is inevitable in the church because we are all humans.  However, we need to be very intentional and respectful about how we handle conflict.  But we do need to handle it.  Avoidance, denial, gossip, and/or projection onto others never turns out well and isn't how Jesus intended his people to behave. More tomorrow, friends. Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Kathryn Wright are answering a question about entering the Kingdom. The question comes from Matthew 18:3-4, especially the word “Converted,” a quite rare word in scripture. How about “Inheriting the kingdom”? Is this the same as “Entering”? Also, how many ways does scripture talk

"But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." - Matthew 18:6

In a culture of cancellation and silence, Jesus invites his church into the courageous work of loving, humble, restorative holiness.

Matthew 18:15-35 | David Lawrence | June 20th, 2025

This sermon, delivered by one of our elders, Adam Cawrse, focuses on Jesus' discourse in Matthew 18 which emphasizes the importance of humbling ourselves like children to be great in the Kingdom.

What if the church was known not for power or pride, but for a radical humility that welcomes the lowly, confronts our own sin, and pursues the lost with the heart of Jesus?

Send us a textWe tried something new in this podcast.  Bryan popped into "the studio" randomly to share some thoughts he had while he was studying and reviewing the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18.  Because of the dollar amount (not really in dollars though), Bryan saw connections between the story of Esther and Matthew 18.  When you overlay the characters from Esther onto Jesus' parable it adds a new twist to the end of the parable that hits closer to home.  Join us as we discuss forgiveness and add another level to the depths we are called to forgive.  Our website - www.thecontextandcolorofthebible.comWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeWe are on Pinterest - The Context and Color of the BibleMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
