A Seat of Forgiveness

A Seat at the Table

November 17, 2024 • Austin Seevers • Genesis 43:25–31, Genesis 45:1–15, Genesis 50:15–21

The Ten Principles of Hurt & Forgiveness from Joseph's Life:

1. Hurt people, hurt people.

2. It's okay to have an emotional response to emotional hurt.

3. We decide in private how to respond in public.

4. Nothing good comes from fighting fire with fire.

5. Forgiveness often requires proximity.

6. Forgiveness can be one-sided.

7. If we avenge people for wrongdoings, we undermine the work of transformative grace.

8. Our pain often becomes our purpose.

9. Forgiveness takes time.

10. Forgiveness rewrites our story.

A Seat of Humility

December 1, 2024 • Will Haussler • Luke 14:7–14, Philippians 2:5–11

The way of Jesus is humility. The way of Jesus is not one of seeking your own honor, it’s of honoring others.

A Seat of Gratitude

November 24, 2024 • Austin Seevers • John 13:21–30, Exodus 24:9–11, Matthew 26

Jesus taught us a lot about Gratitude. * Gratitude is more about perspective than it is about proximity. * Gratitude negates betrayal. * When we are ungrateful, we will do things regretful. * Gratitude can be expressed by words and actions. * We are grateful for an invitation to sit at Jesus' table.

A Seat of Kindness

November 10, 2024 • Austin Seevers • 2 Samuel 9

Kindness takes action. Kindness breaks cultural assumptions. Kindness is often reciprocated.
