4 - Festering Wounds
from Woodlands Church
Pastor Jon Ewton dives into the critical role of forgiveness in maintaining healthy relationships, in his sermon titled "Festering Wounds." Drawing from Matthew 18:21-35, he unpacks the parable of the unforgiving servant. Ewton highlights that forgiveness isn't a singular act, but a continuous practice, and emphasizes the high cost of true forgiveness, mirroring the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. The sermon unpacks the idea that forgiveness is not an action, but the cessation of action, stopping the demand for repayment or retribution. Listen as Pastor Ewton challenges us to recognize the vast debt we've been forgiven and to extend that same mercy to those who have wronged us. He reminds us that while reconciliation can be a lengthy process, the act of forgiveness is at the heart of the Gospel. This message offers hope for healing and restoration in all of our relationships
