The Power of Letting Go—Justin and Irene Renton

August 7, 2023

Sermon summary:

Galatians 5:1–6 Jesus came to set us free from sin and burdens. One important component of freedom is letting go of the things that enslave us. Do you spend your time in love-based freedom or fear-based enslavement?

Forgiveness is a universal need. We need to give, and receive it.

How do you know if you've genuinely forgiven someone? You see the big picture, show kindness, and want what is best for the other person.

Forgiveness is not condoning the actions or behaviour of the person who hurt you. It is an intentional decision to let go of resentment and anger.

Colossians 3:13 Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Who wants partial or conditional forgiveness?

Lack of forgiveness ties you to the person emotionally, and it's exhausting.

There is a difference between forgiveness and reconciliation.

The Holy Spirit gives guidance and direction in our missionary work. Are we doing the work the Spirit has set aside for each one of us to do? He knows the time, place and person to reach out to. Are we listening and obeying when he nudges us? The Holy Spirit forms Christ in all of us and it's a lifetime journey. Seek to be filled. Listen to his voice. Step out boldly.

Sacrificial Giving—by Jacques Genis, CJ Roux & Fungai Blake

Giving is an act of trust. It is also not an obligation but an act of worship. Give from the heart, not as a duty, but as a way to express gratitude. Giving is about unity in the church, it is motivated by grace, not guilt, and a spiritual act of joyful worship. Jesus demonstrated sacrificial giving through his actions, leaving us an example to follow.

My Story, His Mission & Grace—by Erick Li Sik and Ettienne Wilke

To embrace Jesus's mission, I must first clothe myself with Jesus and have his character formed in me. He must become greater, I must become less. Then I"ll be able to do as Jesus did. God's grace is with me. We need each other. Grace is a gift.
