No one makes it through life without being hurt. The question is not whether others will wound us, but how we will respond when they do.
In this message from Matthew 18:21–35, we walk through Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant and see why forgiveness is not optional for those who have received God’s grace. The sermon traces an amazing picture of grace—free but not cheap, full and not partial, final and not temporary—then shows how quickly we can disgrace that same grace when we withhold mercy from others.
You will be reminded that our own sin debt was impossible to pay, that God canceled it through the blood of His Son, and that He now calls us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:13). An unforgiving spirit does not cancel salvation, but it can hinder prayer, steal peace, and weaken our testimony.
This message is for church members who know they should forgive yet find it hard, and for first-time viewers who need to hear that God both desires and is able to forgive them. Come ready to hear the Word, examine your heart, and receive the grace that produces genuine forgiveness from the heart.
