Forgiveness: We are never more like Jesus than when we serve, give, forgive, and extend grace to others. “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.

Humility>Pride: Jesus has this profound knowledge about relationships, families and teamwork.

The Sacrifice: Sometimes I think about our life journey as a base runner getting on first, then trying to make it home against a formidable opponent. The pitcher tries to hold you on at first base. He tries to pick you off, multiple times, to prevent you from advancing. Then, the Coach asks for a …
