"Radical Reconciliation" (Genesis 45:1-28)

As Christians, we're commanded to forgive one another. But that can be easier said than done. Have you ever found forgiveness difficult? What can empower us to release our grip on revenge and forgive even those who sin seriously against us? We'll consider this as we reach the climax of the story of Joseph this Sunday—Joseph's revelation and reconciliation with his brothers.

No Small Anger Problem (Matthew 5:21-26)

We all get angry sometimes. But what about those times when it sticks with us, when we're tempted to hold onto anger and resentment against someone who has hurt us? Jesus has some challenging words about the serious reality of this kind of anger. But he also gives us tangible steps to overcome it as he teaches about his kingdom of heaven that has come to earth.
