06 Unforgiveness

Choosing love instead of offense changes our perception of people. Rather than defining them by their sins, we ought to recognize the remnant— the good that God has preserved within them and see the potential for spiritual transformation. In this message, “Unforgiveness – Part 6,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter continues teaching on the transforming power of forgiveness and repentance. He reveals that true repentance is expressed by loving those who do not love us and forgiving those who offend us. He explains that this journey of love is the very process by which our sins are forgiven, our hearts are transformed, and we come into agreement with God’s ways. Using the imagery of washing another’s feet, he shows that believers are called to refuse to define people by their sins, but to respond with love and recognize the good God has preserved within them. In doing this, we're also able to offer the understanding they need to become better people. As you listen to this message, may God help you forgive every offense, see others through the eyes of love, and embrace His way as the path to spiritual transformation. Key Scripture: Luke 7:36-50 (KJV) 37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
