Sermon 08/07/16

Aug 7, 2016    Pastor Gerhard deBock

Preparing Our Heads to Forgive

Two Common Theses:
1) We must only forgive when there is repentance in word and deed, with reconciliation being the end-goal (Inter-personal).
2) We can forgive even without contacting the other party, with our release from the emotional prison of bitterness as the chief target (internal).

A Synthesis - The Two Hands of Forgiveness:
--An Open Hand to ALL (Offering or Requesting Forgiveness).
--Hand in Hand is Only for the Repentant (Completed Forgiveness - Reconciliation).
