The Weight of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is at the heart of the Lord’s Prayer—both receiving it and extending it to others. This week, we explore what it truly means to pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors."

What does forgiveness look like in real life? How do we release past hurts and walk in true freedom? In this message, we dive into:

The Four Promises of Forgiveness

Good Thought – “I will not dwell on this incident.” (Jeremiah 31:34)

Hurt You Not – “I will not bring it up against you.” (Psalm 103:3-4, 1 Corinthians 13:5)

Gossip Never – “I will not talk to others about this incident.”

Friends Forever – “I will not let this incident hinder our relationship.”

Reflection Questions:

Who do I need to forgive?

What did they do, and how did it affect me?

Can I say, "God, I choose to forgive __________ for what they have done"?

Let’s surrender our wounds to God and experience the healing power of forgiveness.

Key Scriptures: Matthew 6:12, Matthew 18:21-35, 1 John 1:8-9, Psalm 103:12
