A dying man grabs a notepad. It's not his will. It's a list of everyone he's going to bite.
Who's on your list? Pastor Lonnie Clinkscale on The Power of Forgiveness.
In this sermon from Hey Dummy: Testimony of an Overachiever, Pastor Lonnie walks through the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:21-35. Peter asks if seven times is enough. Jesus says seventy-seven. Then He tells the story of a servant forgiven a debt he could never repay, who walks out and chokes a man over a fraction of it. Pastor Lonnie shows how that servant is us: forgiven everything through the blood of Jesus (Matthew 26:28), yet still holding the people who hurt us in a "debtor's mental prison." He talks honestly about the flesh (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. It ends with a true story about white ribbons on an oak tree you won't forget.
If you're carrying bitterness, betrayal, or a hurt nobody else can see, this Bible teaching on forgiveness is for you. Subscribe for a new sermon every week, and share this with someone who needs to hear it.
