We are going to make mistakes. They might not be huge, life altering mistakes, but we will fail from time to time. That doesn’t mean that we should give up. Instead, we need to confess that we have made a mistake and keep pursuing God. 1 John 1:9 states “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Join a Bible reading group!

Have you ever had an awkward conversation? Sometimes those come out of an equally awkward situation, but sometimes the conversation feels awkward because it is unfamiliar.

Forgiving someone is difficult. That’s why Peter thought he was being generous by offering to forgive seven times. Jesus taught him (and us) through the parable of the unforgiving servant that God’s forgiveness takes on way more than seven times. As followers of Christ, we can forgive others because of the great debt that we have been forgiven. Who do you need to forgive?

When we lose sight of the big picture, it is easy to get disillusioned. We think that our hero can save day, but something happens, and they can’t. The disciples experienced this first hand. They lost sight of what Jesus had told them about who He was and why He was here. They wanted a hero, someone to save the day. He came as a Savior who had to die and be raised again.
