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).
