Genesisi 50:21

All of us need forgiveness. But too often we treat forgiveness like it’s optional, when in reality, it’s a prerequisite to grow in our faith. In this 5-day Plan, we’ll discover hope and truth from different biblical accounts about forgiveness as we receive it for ourselves and extend it to others.

Whether we suffer emotional or physical wounds, forgiveness is the cornerstone of the Christian life. Jesus Christ experience all kinds of unfair and unjust treatment, even to the point of a wrongful death. Yet in his final hour, he forgave the mocking thief on the other cross and his executioners.

What do we do when our dreams seem out of reach or even shattered? Having overcome abuse and trauma, as well as the heartbreak of a divorce, I have been faced with this question again and again. Whether you’re experiencing the devastation of tragedy or loss, or the frustration of a long season of waiting, the God-dream for your life is still alive! Friend, it’s time to dream again.

Chaque année, la Semaine de prière pour l'unité des chrétiens invite les chrétiens à se remémorer la prière de Jésus à ses disciples pour que tous soient un afin que le monde croie (cf. Jean 17,21). C’est en s’inspirant de la Deuxième épître aux Corinthiens que le Conseil des Églises en Allemagne a préparé les réflexions proposées pour 2017.
