When you put your trust in someone, like a friend or family member, or something, like a car or medication, what does it mean? We put our trust in things all the time and if something bad happens we feel like our trust has been betrayed, and when given a second chance we question it. Sometimes we casually trust something where depending on our mood and how we are feeling, we might put our trust into that one person or thing. Pastor Mark tackles that area in the sermon series Trusting God where he goes into detail about how trust isn't an emotion, how we can trust God 24/7 and how to break away from being apathetic.

08-12-2012 Trusting God in Life's Changes- Pastor Mark Rossington

Change is a part of life, that's no secret about it and we've come to expect it.

People can deal with a good change easily, but the bad ones can either be navigated through with patience or they can hit you hard enough to make you want to give up or get angry about. What about those?

08-05-2012 Forgiveness- Pastor Mark Rossington

Forgiving someone and asking forgiveness is something we typically do without giving much thought, whether it's an, "It's okay," or an, "I'm sorry," we do it all the time. When someone does us harm in some degree or another we will wait until that person apologizes to us before we take any action, or, if they don't, sometimes we think about how to get back at them. Forgiving someone is important to us as Christians since Christ died for us to forgive us our sins, and it's even in the Lord's Prayer, but do we really mean it? Pastor Mark talks about forgiveness and what we really should be doing when we forgive someone and when we're aking someone to forgive us.
