Herein we discuss the what and the how of forgiveness. We forgive when we cancel the debt of those who have injured us as an act of mercy from the heart. Repeated forgiveness is the responsibility of all disciples. We can more readily be willing to forgive when we contemplate the compassion of our Heavenly Father, remember the great debt we have incurred by sinning against him, tremble at the threatening of the King, and remember that our forgiving others is the mark of having been forgiven. We end by looking at the question, "Should or can we forgive others who have not admitted their wrongdoing?"

The Holy Spirit helps us in our sufferings by his intercession. We look at the nature of that intercession and seek to understand how it helps us. Herein, we learn that his intercession is an earnest plea, helpful, wordless groanings, on behalf of the saints, according to God's will, and effectual. Understanding these things, reminds us that his help is from our gracious Father and in our elder brother Jesus Christ and that the Spirit helps us in more ways than just intercession.

The Parable of the Growing Seed, with its focus on the man's experience of scattering seed and watching it grow, gives us a direction and hope in the face of the sadness that comes as we contemplate those parts of our hearts still in rebellion against the rule of Christ and as we desire our loved ones to receive Christ in the gospel and to obey his word.

Paul begins his support of those who are suffering by pointing them to the freedom to come when the sons of God will be revealed. In this sermon we look at those five freedoms. When the Lord returns we will be free from futility, from corruption, from the groans and pains of childbirth, from our exile, and from hope. After thinking about these freedoms, we ponder how to apply God's word's to our suffering.

The three parables of the hidden treasure, the pearl of great price, and of the dragnet teach that although the unbeliever sees the kingdom of Christ as foolish, those who have been saved know it's value, and are willing to pay the cost of enjoying its benefits. To flesh this out this sermon addresses the kingdom's nature, value, and cost as highlighted by these parables.

By the grace of God we are no longer orphans, but sons of God. Paul in this passage reminds his audience of their rights and privileges because they are God's children. They have ability, freedom, confidence, access, assurance, inheritance, and suffering.

Psalm 34 exemplifies the opposite attitude we often have toward suffering and unanswered prayer. We are reminded that we are to rejoice in our suffering knowing that God is sanctifying and shaping us to be more like Christ. He is not changing our circumstances but our inner person.

The Reverend Davis Morgan picks up where he left off in January and continued to expound on the glory of Christ the coming King. In Jesus' earthly ministry He displays His Glory subtly through the private miracle of turning water into wine. later He pronounces His glory to all publicly when He purges the temple. The small glimpse of His glory we see in the scriptures should cause us to marvel and rejoice at the greatness of our king.
