This message explores:- Why forgiveness matters to God- The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation- How unforgiveness can continue to wound us- Why forgiveness is often a choice before it becomes a feeling- How the "cross of Jesus" makes forgiveness possible If you're struggling with pain, resentment, or the question "How do I forgive?", this message offers biblical truth, practical steps, and hope. --Connect With Us-- Need prayer, want to sign up for baptism or surrender your life to Christ?
