CURRENT SERVICE TIMES: Sundays in-person and on YouTube at 9a / Wednesday Prayer resumes January 15, 2025
In this message on forgiveness, we’re challenged to examine our hearts and release the burdens of unforgiveness. The central theme revolves around Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 18, where He tells the story of a forgiven servant who chooses not to forgive. The parable illustrates how, even though God has forgiven us an immeasurable debt, we often struggle to extend that same grace to others. Paul reminds us that forgiveness isn’t about a feeling but about a choice to release others from the debt they owe us. Interestingly, scientific studies now confirm what the Bible has long taught – forgiveness brings numerous health benefits, including lower blood pressure and reduced anxiety. This message encourages us to see forgiveness not as a burden but as a gift from God that sets us free.
