In this message, Pastor Miles walks through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant in Matthew 18 and explains why forgiveness is central to the heart of the Kingdom of Heaven. We often want limits. Like Peter, we ask, “How many times do I really have to forgive someone?” But Jesus challenges us to adopt a completely different posture, one rooted in grace. When we understand the incredible forgiveness God has given us through Jesus, it changes the way we see the people who have hurt us. In this sermon you will learn:
Why forgiveness is essential for spiritual maturity
Why trying to “get even” never brings peace
How focusing on the cross helps us release bitterness
Why forgiveness is a choice, even when emotions lag behind True freedom comes when we stop dwelling on the hurt and begin dwelling on what Jesus has done for us.
