Life Essentials: Forgiveness

Ken Curtis   -   January 14, 2024

As we enter a time of annual renewal, we’re winding back our faith journey and turning toward the essentials. Join us every week until Lent for our new series exploring some of the foundational lessons and principles that support our journey as followers of Jesus. This week, we explore Forgiveness.

Sermon Reflections:

1. How does the scripture from the Book of Psalms set the tone for the sermon on forgiveness?
2. What are the six words that are mentioned as essential to any relationship? Why are they considered essential?
3. How does the concept of forgiveness relate to the idea of carrying a “sack of stones” with us?
4. In what ways does forgiveness make reconciliation possible, and what does it clear the way for?
5. What is emphasized about forgiveness in the story of David and the consequences he faced?
6. How does the Holocaust survivor’s story illustrate the power of forgiveness and its impact on the one who forgives?
