The Power of Forgiveness | Matthew 18 Sermon

A dying mangrabs a notepad. It's not his will. It's a list of everyone he's going to bite.

Who's on yourlist? Pastor Lonnie Clinkscale on The Power of Forgiveness.

In this sermonfrom Hey Dummy: Testimony of an Overachiever, Pastor Lonnie walks through theparable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:21-35. Peter asks if seventimes is enough. Jesus says seventy-seven. Then He tells the story of a servantforgiven a debt he could never repay, who walks out and chokes a man over afraction of it. Pastor Lonnie shows how that servant is us: forgiven everythingthrough the blood of Jesus (Matthew 26:28), yet still holding the people whohurt us in a "debtor's mental prison." He talks honestly about theflesh (Romans 7:18-20), about getting back up when we fall (Proverbs 24:16),and about forgiveness as a choice God gives us the strength to carry out. Itends with a true story about white ribbons on an oak tree you won't forget.
