Forgiveness – Week 1
Pastor Jeremy Taylor   -  

Forgiveness

 

Forgiveness is an essential skill, a moral imperative, and a religious belief that cuts right to the core of what it means to be human.[1]

 

  • What if it feels like forgiveness won’t actually fix anything?
  • Does forgiveness mean I have to be in a relationship with that person again?
  • Is it even possible to forgive if they’re not sorry for what they did?[2]

 

I think C.S. Lewis summed it up perfectly:

Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive.

 

Forgiveness is really hard! That’s why the only way to truly make the journey of forgiveness is with Jesus. This two-part series will be a first step in the right direction.
