Unseen Motives - Friends vs Frenemies l Pastor Mark Hibbert
Text: Ecclesiastes 4: 9 - 12
How can someone smile to your face yet work against you behind your back? In a world filled with connections but often lacking genuine relationships, Solomon challenges us to discern the difference between a true friend and a frenemy.
A true friend is marked by loyalty, honesty, and steadfast love through both prosperity and adversity (Proverbs 18:24), while a frenemy may appear supportive while secretly driven by selfish motives.
As believers, we are called to love both friends and enemies, extending grace without abandoning wisdom.
Today's lesson invites us to take an honest look at the people in our lives—our friends, acquaintances, and even our frenemies. Yet the greater challenge is not identifying them, but examining ourselves and learning to respond in a way that reflects God's character, regardless of how others treat us.

Forgiven | Pastor Howard Green
Text: Romans 4: 1 - 8
One of the most essential element of God’ love is forgiveness. Forgiveness is the underpinning of those that come to know God through Jesus. Unless our sins are forgiven and we intern forgive others, we cannot see the kingdom of God. The truest evidence of God’ forgiveness is the unburdened weight we know as freedom. They are inextricably linked and cannot be separated. Today the Spirit of God offers good news to those burdened and oppressed by the cruelty of sin: embrace the call to eternal life by accepting Jesus as Lord and Christ.
