The Power of Forgiveness - Lyn GitchelIn January, Lyn Gitchel starts the New Year by looking at the importance of forgiveness, not only in forgiving ourselves and others but also in understanding the loving forgiveness of our heavenly Father. As humans, most of us find it hard to forgive but Jesus teaches that we have to, so these notes look at how we can learn that hard lesson and how we can become more of a forgiving person in 2016.The God Who Stoops - Jeanette HendersonIn February, Jeanette Henderson focusses on the presence of stooping in the gospels, looking at how we as believers often stoop in His presence and whether God insists we stoop physically and emotionally before Him. We see that in stooping Himself, Jesus demonstrated the importance of showing compassion and love, patience and tolerance when faced with human weakness and error and how we too should therefore follow His example.
