  • Facing Cruelty From Others (Guest: Dan Jansen)

    Facing Cruelty From Others (Guest: Dan Jansen)
    Nov 10 2024
    A message from Dan Jansen, from our parent church in Calgary, Pineridge House Church, which highlights David’s cry out to God in this memorable Psalm. Scripture: Psalm 70 Lesson 1: Justice is not an ungodly desire nor is it something God Himself has not or will do in the future (Psalm 70:2-4; Acts 16:37; Numbers 12:14, 2 Corinthians 5:10, Romans 13:1-4). Lesson 2: Sweeping the cruelty of others under the rug with a smile on our face is to misunderstand God’s justice (2 Corinthians 5:10). Lesson 3: Regardless of how bad we feel the cruelty of others, meditating on our relationship with God will put things into the right perspective (Psalm 70:4, Job 1,2). Lesson 4: Jesus paid the ransom penalty for the selfish crimes of all humanity, whereby whoever believes and puts their trust in Him will be forgiven and not face God’s justice (2 Corinthians 5:21).
