How’s your resilience going? In unprecedented times, where can we find wisdom and truth to be resilient followers of Jesus?
2,000 years ago the world was very different but the early Christians had to find the same resilience we look for today to meet the extraordinary challenges they faced.

Join us for our new series Resilient Faith as we learn lessons about being Resilient from the book of Acts in the Bible and the lives of the people who turned the world upside down.

Forgive

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” - Lewis B Smedes

What Forgiveness Requires:
- Acknowledge the Sin
- Speak Forgiveness
- Pay the Price
- Pray For God’s Best

Forgiveness is Not:
- Forgetting
- Entrusting Yourself to Someone Again
How Do We Forgive?

- They Forgive Slowly
- They Forgive Communally
- They Forgive As They Are Forgiven

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” - Lewis B Smedes
Resilient Faith Endures, Perseveres, Hopes
Questions to Consider:

1. What is “taking you out” of the game, of life, of love?

2. What is your story? Is your story still on-going or have you experienced resilient faith?

3. What is Jesus asking you to do from this message?

4. Who do you need to forgive? Who needs to forgive you? Tell someone.

GIVING

Our goal here at Cold Springs Church is transparency. We operate solely on the generosity of those who call Cold Springs home and give regularly to support the mission and vision we are committed to carrying out. God invites us to worship Him in all areas of our lives, including the way we spend our money. Because it is an act of worship, God is more interested in the shape of our heart than the size of our gift.
