December 11, 2022 -- "Forgiving" -- Pastor Mark Siegert, Bible Text: 1 John 3:11-18
Stay tuned after the sermon for a special Holiday treat as The Bethany Choir sings "Still, Still, Still" (*Public Domain) from the Bethany Christmas Concert, December 4, 2022.
11 The message that you have heard from the beginning is to love each other. 12 Don’t be like Cain. He was a child of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain murder his brother? Because the things Cain did were evil and the things his brother did had God’s approval. 13 Brothers and sisters, don’t be surprised if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love other believers. The person who doesn’t grow in love remains in death. 15 Everyone who hates another believer is a murderer, and you know that a murderer doesn’t have eternal life. (GW)
