About this sermon
What is forgiveness… really? And what if most of us have been getting it wrong? In today’s teaching, we define forgiveness in a clear and powerful way: replacing ill will with goodwill. But that raises big questions—Does forgiveness excuse wrongdoing? Does it ignore justice? Should we forgive everything? Drawing from Scripture, real-world examples, and the work of Everett Worthington, this message untangles the confusion and reveals a deeper, stronger, more honest vision of forgiveness. Because forgiveness isn’t pretending something didn’t matter it’s choosing a different kind of response. 📚 Today's Resources: Workbook resource by Everett Worthington (forgiveness process): https://bit.ly/REACHWorksheet 🙌 New episodes every weekday. 📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually.
