How to Forgive in Three Simple Words - Colossians 3:13
Forgiveness doesn’t come easy. If someone has hurt, wounded, or abused you in some way, the last thing you’re thinking about is forgiving them. It’s more likely you’re thinking about punishing them and inflicting pain on them since they inflicted pain on you.
It’s a good thing Jesus doesn’t share that mindset. None of us would have a chance. We’d all be in big trouble.
We are all imperfect people. And imperfect people need a lot of forgiveness. On an ongoing basis. More often than we’d like to admit, we need forgiveness from God and from others. The implications of that are mind-boggling, and vital for us to come to grips with. We all need to be forgiven, which means we are all surrounded by people that we will need to forgive. This Sunday we’ll see what it takes for that to translate into reality.

This Week's Sermon: "We Are Family"
This past week we as a church family wrapped up our Perfectly One 40-day focus on church unity. Now it’s time to celebrate and reflect on the good work God is doing among us.
This Sunday morning we’re planning to join together at 10am, as God’s family, and party!
We at Bridges Community Church have a lot of reasons why a celebration is in order, beginning with the fact that we are family. We’re members of God’s forever family. A family that we were adopted into by God Himself. A family that is open to all who are willing to come through Jesus. So let’s celebrate!
