    The Unmerciful Servant

    Those who appreciate the depth of sin that God has forgiven in them will forgive others as well.

    This morning, we continue our journey through the parables of Christ. Parables, as I’ve noted before, are short and simple. They don’t have complex plots, or dozens of characters, like a Russian novel. You don’t need a Ph.D. in theology or Hebrew literature to understand them. And yet, despite ...read more

    Many will fail to enter the gates of heaven because they are shackled to this world by chains of unforgiven sins--not necessarily theirs..

    “ Forgive Us Our Debts” Picture if you will; a man sitting all alone in a darkened prison cell. His elbows propped on his knees and his head resting in his hands. The man’s name is Charles Preston, and he has been on death row for the last seven years of his life for his part in ...read more

    A consideration of five reasons that we should want to pursue forgiveness.

    We begin this morning with the knowledge that Jesus has commanded us to forgive. We add to that our general belief that forgiveness is a good thing. But, then, when we get into the actual situation where our heart has been stomped on and our emotions have been ripped to shreds, we need a ...read more

    This sermon walks through the 5 steps toward actually forgiving someone.

    Last week we spoke of why to forgive [see sermon “Why In The World Should I Forgive, Anyway?”]. Quickly on the heels of that question, though, comes the equally difficult question of how you forgive. We all understand the general concept of forgiveness, but most of us are not especially ...read more

    This study looks at the incredible depth of God’s forgiveness and also His requirement for us to forgive.

    God’s Forgives. God Requires Forgiveness. One of the greatest challenges to human nature is the issue of forgiveness. Those who can’t forgive themselves are filled with guilt and despair, and those who won’t forgive others are filled with anger and bitterness. The most miserable people are the ...read more

    Forgiveness- What Do We Carry And What Do We Let Go?

    Contributed by Simon Harrison on Apr 4, 2001
    based on 46 ratings
     | 3,134 views

    Forgiveness is not about accepting that something wrong is somehow right, or trying to forget it: a prayerful reflection on Matthew 18.

    Today I would like to say a few words about things in our lives that we carry and things that we let go. I find today’s Gospel reading one of the most challenging in the Bible. With any apology, Jesus talks quite bluntly about the forgiveness God offers to us, and the expectation God has of us, as ...read more

    This is the eighth sermon in a series of messages based on I Corinthians 13. This series is entitled, "How to Improve Your Love Life."

    The other day I saw an advertisement for Karate Lessons, and it made me think about the different lessons people usually take (Golf Lessons, Piano Lessons, Gun Saftey Lessons, etc.) But I’ve never seen an advertisement for lessons on one of the most important things we’ll ever do - lessons on how ...read more

    God’s grace toward us is unlimited.

    Unlimited Grace Today we continue our series of messages on the topic of "grace". At root, the question we’re examining is "how can we know God?" How do we bridge the chasm between ourselves and our Creator? Given the fact of our sin and our guilt; and the fact of God’s perfect justice and ...read more

    If you cannot or will not forgive, you are a puppet in the hands of the one who harmed you.

    Actress Molly Ringwold learned Survivor Tip #4 somewhere along the way, saying "From my experience, forgiving is the only way to survive." Obviously, we would be mistaken if we took our survivor tips directly from Hollywood. Unfortunately, many people do. But Molly Ringwold’s survivor tip didn’t ...read more

    Looking at why we should forgive.

    Lord’s Prayer 3 Forgive us our sins as we forgive others Which came first, the chicken or the egg? People have been debating that question for years and as far as I know, they have still failed to come up with an answer to it. Fortunately, as we look at the subject of forgiveness today, we are ...read more

    This is a ridiculous story about forgiveness, ridiculus but true, ridiculous but filled with grace.

    17 Pentecost A Matthew 18:21-35 September 15, 2002 Rev. Roger Haugen The story of Jean Valjean, written by Victor Hugo, is powerful.

    So often we require justice, but we need to live out of grace, continually forgiving!

    WHERE IS THE GRACE? This past week we have been re-inundated with stories of terror. Stories of loss, shock, pain, grief… By now we’re all too familiar with the scenes and the headlines And I could go on and tell some of the stories of September 11, but I sense that we’ve really had enough of ...read more

    An important step to healing after tragedies like 9-11 is forgiveness. But how is it possible? (17th Sunday after Pentecost)

    FORGIVING—WHEN YOUR WORLD FALLS APART (Matthew 18:21-35) (Review the Gospel lesson, Matthew 18:21-35. Peter asks, “How many times should I forgive?” Jesus gives a number, but his point is that we should ask another question: “How many times does God forgive me?” Put yourselves in the shoes of the ...read more
