Let Hope In – John 18:15-18 // John 18:25-27: "Regrets ... I've had a few ... but then again ... too few to mention." Personally, I think Frank Sinatra was lying through his teeth when he sang those infamous words in his My Way diatribe! I'm guessing, that if Ole Blue Eyes was being completely honest, his life was filled with regret and he should have said, "too many to mention"! Something about his being married four times and his alleged mob connections just screams regret! What do we do with those moments in life we can't have back: those words spoken without thought ... those choices without consideration ... those actions embraced without care for the corresponding consequences? At the very heart of our very amazing gospel is something we call forgiveness. God longs to extend it to us graciously and once received - it's incredibly liberating and transforming. We'll talk about the connection of a life marked by hope with the reality of a life marked by forgiveness. I hope you'll be able to join with us this weekend!
