We live in SC and recently discovered Alfred Street Sermons. We always enjoy how Pastor Wesley teaches from the word of God and with passages that have not been used to teach a familiar subject. We watched parts 1 & 2 and need a simple clarification. I'm clear, because you pointed out that between Acts 13 & 16, Paul and Barnabas didn't reconcile. Yet they are still Christians who were effective at winning souls and building the church. Paul, near the end of his life, reconciled with Mark. After we watched this as a family. My husband, influenced by his mother sitting next to him, received the anointing oil from her. She wanted to force reconciliation and told him to rub anointing oil on both hands of me, my teens, and their cousin who just met her and doesn't attend a church that does this. I told him to skip her but his mom insisted that he rub oil on her too. Then she read a whole chapter from 1st Corinthians. Things were already TENSE, once we saw the title of the sermon that my husband put on the projector screen. Tensions increased to the point that the best that I could do is be quiet than to say what was really on my mind. As a pastor, have you ever put anointing oil on someone who didn't want to be anointed or reconciled? I clearly said before they brought out the anointing oil that some relationships need time, and some don't reconcile. Yet, both tried to force reconciliation. I'm sure that all of my in-laws have told her that I have the devil in me and that she needed to anoint the whole house. Actually, what we need is for her to fly back to Louisville, KY. By day 7 of her 14 day visit, I asked my husband if she could return early, because our teens and I were going crazy. He refused, so we have been staying out of our house to avoid her. HELP!!!!
Glory to God!!! A powerful message. I was truly blessed by this message.
Wooooooo preach and teach man from Rev Jaron Hayes St.
Powerful message
I wish people would forgive the things ive said and done..its painful when you,re shunned by people you love..
Thank you.
I disagree…. when you forgive someone, you accept them as if the offense was never there… if Christ can forgive us and never hold it over our heads in the “back of his mind” per se, then what gives us the right to do that? True forgiveness comes with acceptance.
Thank you Father God, in the name of Jesus. Amen!
God bless you!
Here in 2019 and this series has Blessed me tremendously.
i learned this years ago, thank you Jesus!
I really needed this
What happens when someone keeps offending you tho? And you need to decide to just move on. Holding on to past hurt, anger resentment and hatred. Lol !!! What a great message.
I struggle with forgiveness! I have listened to all 4 sermons, over & over..Amen !! And it taught me something about myself. I began to stop speaking of the offence, so that I could truly forgive the offender.And It's ok to forgive and not be in a relationship with the person any more
. Amen!!
Listening to this message for the third time and I feel some healing in my heart. New revelation every time. I do not want to loose opportunities
He better teach this thing!!! Yesss Lord!!!! Hallelujah
WoW! What a kaleidoscope of soul food! This Pastors' heart is in the right place. Amen ! Bless Him! Keep him steadfast please Lord Jesus.
This sermon is so good!
Good, biblical preaching! Praise the Lord!
I need to talk to someone about something that happened to me when I was little, still cry bout it sometimes, I,m 61 yrs. old.
What if its your family? Mother & father because you are comnanded with a promise to honor them.
Only halfway through and this sermon is already hitting home for me. "Forgiveness does not mean reconciliation." That touched me deeply because I have always been torn between if I would be frowned upon if I choose to forgive but not want to restore the relationship, but this sermon definitely cleared up a lot of my misunderstandings.
I have listened and share this sermon. Excellent teaching and preaching.
I’ve been struggling to forgive myself. And I’ve been walking without God for way too long.
Thank you for helping me discover many misconceptions I have regarding forgiveness. I have a much better understanding of it now. Thanks again.
Thank you
This Sermon is clarification of my situation. I have forgiven this person but this relationship can never be RESTORED. To MANY OFFENSES.
This Sermon is So powerful. Let It Go Merita. God Has Been Good to You. THROUGH IT ALL!!
“After an offense some relationships can’t be reconciled “ ughh I’m guilty of even being that person . This is a word
Amen!!!!!
Amen!!!
Praise God for blessing you and everybody who’s affected by it with that great message. Keep doing His work. Keep using the gifts and talents He gave you and keep remaining humble and confident with them. God bless you.
Their hurt can never hinder his hand. God is still good and still working it together for my good. Such a timely reminder.
Listening very true
Thanks for posting.
I'm struggling with forgiving my mom and the man she cheated on my dad with 2 years ago. please pray for me, I really need it.
Blessing me in 2020
Mark was Barnabus cousin (Colossians 4:10). Paul and Mark did reconcile (See Paul's letter to Philemon, vs. 24).
Me
Lord knows, I need this message like yesterday
five years later I know I needed to hear this .. God is so good to me
Amen
