About this sermon
Some wounds leave marks long after the moment has passed. A harsh word. A broken promise. A betrayal. A boundary crossed. An apology that never came. Over time, we can find ourselves carrying the weight of what happened, replaying the story, keeping score, and holding onto hurts that grow heavier with each passing year. This Sunday, join Courtney Clayton Jenkins as she explores Jesus’ powerful teaching on forgiveness through the Lord’s Prayer and Peter’s famous question: “How many times should I forgive?” Together, we’ll discover that forgiveness is not forgetting, excusing, or pretending the pain wasn’t real. It is the courageous and ongoing spiritual practice of putting down what we’ve been carrying so that old wounds no longer determine our future.
