    The Best Reason To Forgive

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 17, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,566 views

    We have lots of good reasons to forgive others who hurt us, but the best reason to forgive is because God has forgiven us so much more. When we learn to appreciate the full extent of God's grace, we can practice giving away that grace to others.

    Matthew 18:21-35 The Best Reason to Forgive At some point, every one of us has been hurt, sometimes quite deeply. Maybe somebody here today is hurting. The question is, will you be able to forgive and let go, to move forward with your life? Forgiveness is a choice. You don’t have to forgive, but ...read more

    As we see the destruction of another hurricane season and other catastrophic events our hearts are sensitized to the great need around the world. Can we find a comparison in the "storms" of our own personal lives?

    (This is more of a mini-sermon with "thought" that will need to be fleshed out in your own words. I hope that it is not too muddled for you to follow. May the Lord fill you with grace and peace today! PTL!!) Please open your Bibles to Matthew 8:18-27 which we will read in a few minutes. There ...read more

    Study on the parable of the unforgiving servant - the necessity of forgiving one another.

     | 2,632 views

    The point is this–God will forgive any sin, any offense. Nothing will make Him so angry as not to forgive. Unless. Unless we come to that confession, to that communion, with an unforgiving heart.

     | 10,309 views

    Often our scars serve as mile-markers in our lives. Other scars are hidden from human view. Scars from verbal or physical abuse, divorce, traumatic losses, betrayals by those you loved. They don't escape the Master's gaze. He wants to heal them.
