The Church God Wants - A Church That's Quick to Forgive - September 17, 2023
Season 2
Episode 5
Published 2 years, 11 months ago
Description
Genesis 50:15-21
The fifth and final in a series of sermons in which we are asking "What kind of church does God want?" instead of "What kind of church do I want?"
How do you handle when someone has genuinely wronged you? Do you fantasize about getting even? Do you wait to forgive until they've made it up to you? Until your emotions have calmed?
God calls believers, his church, to be quick to forgive, just as he is. Rather than hanging onto guilt, or forcing others to live in guilt, as believers look at God's forgiveness for them, they can share the same forgiveness with others.
