What can become real for you today about the cross? We need to deal with forgiveness on a daily basis. If you don’t forgive, you will be anxious. Let go of the hurt. Don’t dwell on the injustice against you. Are you at peace with your close relationships? People can hurt you, yet as disciples, we need to learn to forgive. Does God have to bring you to your knees to get you to forgive?
Where Is Your Faith? The Four Stages of Faith – Outline
The nation recently celebrated Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday and we can all remember the line from his famous speach: “I have a dream.” Do you have a dream today?

Too many people out there today do not have a dream… but here at the Chicago International Christian Church we have many dreams.
Matthew 1:22 Jesus is “God with Us.”
- God sent prophet after prophet, but that wasn’t enough. Then he sent Jesus.
John 1:10-13 God is with us, yet the relationship is conditional. He sent his son to die for you. Are you with God? God can’t be with you if you are not with him.

Women’s Workshop: Jesus Wept – Outline
When was the last time I wept over something Jesus would weep for?
Hebrews 4:14
Jesus was able to weep because he was humble and had so much empathy. We need to be more patient and loving with each other.
I Peter 5: 5-6
God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
At only around 15 years old, Mary made a decision to be humble before God. Her decision impacted the rest of her life. We can make decisions when we are young that are right and true.
