Are You Ready to Extend Forgiveness?

Breaking free from bitterness through forgiveness is one of the most challenging yet transformative spiritual practices. This message explores Jesus's radical teaching on forgiveness in Matthew 18, where He instructs us to forgive 'seventy times seven' - not as a mathematical formula but as a complete reversal of human vengeance culture.Discover what forgiveness truly means (and doesn't mean). Forgiveness isn't becoming a doormat, eliminating consequences, or always requiring reconciliation. Through the powerful Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, learn how forgiveness is costly for the giver but ultimately liberating for everyone involved.The message outlines a practical three-step process for forgiveness: naming the hurt honestly, bringing the pain to God, and releasing the need for a different past. This spiritual practice frees us from the prison of bitterness that Jesus warns about in His parable.
