What becomes possible when we forgive?
Forgiveness doesn’t erase what happened or pretend the hurt wasn’t real. But it can loosen the hold the past has on us and open a path toward something new. In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus challenges us to see forgiveness not as a one-time act, but as a foundational practice of faith.
This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Tim Moore continues our series, The Grief & Power of Change, exploring how forgiveness can liberate us from what has been and create hope for a future that once seemed impossible.
Pastor's Notes:
Life is an unending series of changes. The phrase, “all good things must come to an end,” is only part of the truth for Christians. We live as resurrection people; people who understand that God keeps bringing resurrecting our lives from the dead places where they are stuck. Transformation is an act of faith. It is letting go of what once was into order to grab out of what is becoming. The ideas, traditions, institutions we cling to either die—before us or with us, but definitely after us; or we choose resurrection. The only legacies we leave behind are the ones that we give away.
