Speaker: Jeff Jarvis.
So one day Jesus says…“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” So what does that mean exactly? If your partner cheated on you – are you supposed to just pretend nothing happened? For the person who has been repeatedly bullied or abused by someone in their past – does forgiveness mean saying nothing? So no matter how many times someone gossips or steals the credit or criticizes me, my job is to just take it on the chin and forgive? For any person who has been wounded by someone – just hearing bible passages like this can make us cringe. Let’s be honest – forgiveness is complicated and extremely difficult. So much so that many just avoid the topic altogether. Yet so much research points to the potentially life-changing qualities of forgiveness. But how?? Join us for 3 weeks beginning this Sunday, for some honest talk about both the pain and the power of forgiveness.
