---Sermon from Pastor Kevin Sunday Aug 1st

Morsels from Buck's class Sunday Aug 1st:

“Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the apples in a seed” ..Carol brought to class

U R the seed that decides the harvest around U

Words R seeds 4 feeling Forgiveness is seed 4 relationship
Honor is seed 4 access. Gratitude is the seed 4 more
The bible is the seed 2 territory Listening is the seed 2 learning Knowledge is the seed 2 change

Barriers to Listening...JAILES: Jump to conclusions, Assumptions, Interpret what is said, Lying, Evaluate /Judge, Selective listening

Tools for listening...LADDER: Look the person in the eye, Ask questions, Don’t interrupt, Don’t change the subject, Empathize, Respond verbally and non-verbally

We are rabid in our judgement toward each other because we do not realize how much God has forgiven us. Luke 7:47 He who has been forgiven little loves little

Live free and set others free....
Romans 2:1 You have no excuse, you who pass judgement on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgement do the same things.

Romans 6:37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condmn, and you will not be confemned. Forgive, and you will be foregiven, Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap (life). For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you

· Romans 8:15 “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear..”
