    How to Forgive When You've Been Hurt | Four Principles of Forgiveness

    This week’s message, “How to Forgive When You’ve Been Hurt,” explores Genesis 45:1–15 and invites us to discover what forgiveness really means—and what it doesn’t mean.Through the story of Joseph and his brothers, we discover four important truths: forgiveness is not forgetting, forgiveness is not condoning what happened, forgiveness does not always require restoring a relationship, and holding onto the past can keep us captive.Forgiveness is hard work. But for followers of Jesus, it is also at the heart of the gospel. We forgive not because the hurt didn’t matter, but because in Christ, God has forgiven us.If you’re carrying an old resentment, wound, or relationship you can’t seem to release, this message offers practical and biblical encouragement for taking a step toward healing and freedom.Show Notes Joseph had every reason to resent his brothers. Instead, when they were finally reunited, Joseph acknowledged the wrong they had done while choosing a path toward forgiveness and reconciliation. The sermon highlights four principles: Forgiveness is not forgetting. We don’t have to pretend the hurt never happened.Forgiveness is not condoning. Forgiving someone does not make what they did acceptable.Forgiveness doesn’t always mean restored relationship. Healthy boundaries can coexist with forgiveness.Holding onto the past ultimately hurts us. Resentment can become a prison that keeps us tied to the person or event that wounded us.For Christians, there is an even deeper reason to forgive: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32). Practical next step: Bring one unresolved hurt before God this week. Ask God what it would look like to release your need for judgment, seek healing, and begin moving toward forgiveness. These themes and illustrations come directly from the sermon transcript, including the distinction between forgiveness and reconciliation and the image of resentment creating a “prison with an open door.” 📌 Subscribe for weekly messages, devotionals, and more from FPCRogers.

    Feeling Distracted When You Pray? Try this. | Tuesday Tutorial

    Feeling Distracted When You Pray? Try This. You sit down to pray…and suddenly you’re thinking about yesterday, worrying about tomorrow, or mentally working through your to-do list. Sound familiar? In this short practice, we explore a simple way to become more attentive to God through three slow, gentle breaths. We’re not breathing to make God present—God is already here. We’re using the breath to help ourselves become present to God. Then we’ll pray together and begin a simple 10-day challenge: Three breaths.“God, I’m here, and I’m giving you my attention.”Then pray. And when your attention wanders? Breathe. Reset. Return.

    God Is Not In There by Liz Larkin, Elder at FPC Rogers, Arkansas

    This week’s message, “God Is Not In There” explores 1 Kings 19:9–18 and invites us to reflect on how God meets us in exhaustion, questions, storms, and silence.Elijah had been faithful. He had experienced an extraordinary victory. And then he reached the point where he simply could not carry any more.God did not shame Elijah or tell him to try harder. God cared for him, listened to him, and eventually met him not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in the quiet.Sometimes God doesn’t shout. Sometimes God whispers.And when God seems quiet, we should not mistake the silence for absence.This message also challenges us to practice the ministry of presence. When someone is hurting, we do not always need an explanation or the perfect words. Sometimes faithfulness looks like saying, “I don’t know, but I am here”—and staying.Whether you’re watching from home or on the go, we’re glad you’re here.📌 Subscribe for weekly messages, devotionals, and more from FPCRogers.DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE DEVOTIONAL GUIDEWould you like to be more guided by God's Spirit in your daily life?

Through the miracle of feeding the five thousand, we discover that God is not limited by our resources.
