David Cwir – Bitter Root Judgments and Expectancies

Have you ever noticed recurring patterns in your life that you can’t seem to stop? At some point in our lives, we’ve all made wrong or ungodly judgments of others as a result of their negative words, actions, or behaviors. Bitter roots can come from our negative or sinful reactions to hurts, or the many negative situations we experienced growing up, whereby we allowed bitterness, resentment, negative attitudes, etc. to take root in our heart. Bitter Root Expectancies are a habitual way of viewing how things will go for us. They act like a self-fulfilling prophesy in which we unconsciously “push” people to act how we expect them. Check out this message if you would like to learn more about how to break negative recurring patterns in your life that result from bitter root judgments and expectancies.

David Cwir - The Heart is the Heart of the Gospel to the Heart

The heart is one of the most critical aspects of life in the New Covenant, which is why Jesus put the heart at the forefront in many of His teachings. Scriptures from both the Old and New Testament place the heart as the defining aspect that distinguished Old from New covenant living. Yet, the heart is an often neglected topic today. If we are to love God with all of our hearts and live life as New Covenant believers, we must understand the heart and place as much importance on it as other topics emphasized in Scripture. Check out this week's message if you would like to hear more about the heart, its role in the New Covenant, and about ministry to the heart.

David Cwir - Freely You Have Received, Freely Forgive

Jesus defines righteousness differently in the New Covenant: Everything we have received is a gift from God, and we must freely give unto others that which we have received. God accepts, forgives, secures, and loves us unconditionally, which means that we no longer have to “earn” these things by doing law. Because righteousness in the New Covenant is predicated on God’s prior acceptance, we are freed up to have a new stance towards others. We are free to love that person who wronged us the way God does; with unconditional forgiveness, kindness, and mercy. Check out this week’s message if you would like to hear more about the importance of forgiveness.
