What questions do you have about forgiveness? As we finish our conversation on forgiveness, we discuss common questions such as, “Why should I forgive?” and “What if I don’t want to forgive?” We anchor our questions in God’s Word as we explore Jesus’ teachings on forgiveness.

What does it mean to forgive someone? How do I start to forgive when I don’t want to? These and many other questions swirl around forgiveness. We dive into the topic and discuss the journey in part one of a two part talk on forgiveness.Stay Connected: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/apublicchurch/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/apublicchurch/Twitter | https://twitter.com/apublicchurchPodcast | https://anchor.fm/apublicchurchPC Website | https://publicchurch.comLinktree | https://linktr.ee/apublicchurch#apublicchurch #christianity #faith #jesus

When it comes to our home team, some are given to us, yet others we get to choose. Our home team are the relationships that mean the most to us, so how do we decide who to form deep friendships with? How do we know if a friendship is harmful or beneficial? We dig into practical wisdom from the book of Proverbs to guide us.Stay Connected: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/apublicchurch/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/apublicchurch/Twitter | https://twitter.com/apublicchurchPodcast | https://anchor.fm/apublicchurchPC Website | https://publicchurch.comLinktree | https://linktr.ee/apublicchurch#apublicchurch #christianity #faith #jesus

In regards to our closest relationships, what do we want in these relationships? What does culture say we should aim at? In other words, if we want to be married or have kids or not have kids, why? Let’s be honest about our answers, and let's also consider what Jesus wants in our family. We start in Genesis 1 and spend time in Genesis 1-4 to discover God’s vision for family.Stay Connected: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/apublicchurch/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/apublicchurch/Twitter | https://twitter.com/apublicchurchPodcast | https://anchor.fm/apublicchurchPC Website | https://publicchurch.comLinktree | https://linktr.ee/apublicchurch#apublicchurch #christianity #faith #jesus

For those of us who follow Jesus or for those who are considering following Jesus, connecting and serving are not optional. Living in community and a lifestyle of serving are part of what it means to follow Jesus in our daily lives. Why does this matter? What is the mindset of serving prescribed by the New Testament? We dive into both of these questions today.Stay Connected: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/apublicchurch/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/apublicchurch/Twitter | https://twitter.com/apublicchurchPodcast | https://anchor.fm/apublicchurchPC Website | https://publicchurch.comLinktree | https://linktr.ee/apublicchurch#apublicchurch #christianity #faith #jesus

Do you have a longstanding prayer that has received a no, wait, or feels unanswered? If we are honest, waiting a long time raises questions: Why am I still praying if God isn’t doing anything? Does prayer even matter? To wrestle with these questions, we turn to the book of Habakkuk, which documents Habakkuk’s prayers with God and God’s responses. As we learn from how he prays, we can find the strength to persevere in prayer.Stay Connected: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/apublicchurch/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/apublicchurch/Twitter | https://twitter.com/apublicchurchPodcast | https://anchor.fm/apublicchurchPC Website | https://publicchurch.comLinktree | https://linktr.ee/apublicchurch#apublicchurch #christianity #faith #jesus
