from Bible Chapter by Chapter · host Chris Hintsala

Episode 18 — The Greatest in the Kingdom and the Power of ForgivenessIn Matthew 18 (WEB), Jesus redefines greatness, calling His followers to humility like a child. He warns against causing others to stumble, reveals the Father’s heart for the lost, teaches how to restore the fallen, and ends with a powerful parable of forgiveness without limit. This chapter reminds us that true greatness is humility, true faith protects others, and true freedom is found in forgiveness.📖 Read Matthew 18 (World English Bible):👉 https://ebible.org/web/MAT18.htm✨ What You’ll HearWho is the greatest in the kingdom of heavenWarning against causing others to stumbleThe parable of the lost sheepRestoring the fallen with courage and compassionThe parable of the unforgiving servantLessons on humility, reconciliation, and limitless forgivenessTrue greatness begins with humilitySin is serious because souls are sacredGod pursues the one who wandersReconciliation requires courage and compassionForgiveness must flow freely as grace flows to usWhere two or three gather to heal, Jesus is among themWhat part of a childlike faith do you need to rediscover?Are you protecting others’ faith or causing someone to stumble?Is there a “lost sheep” in your life God is calling you to reach?Who do you need to forgive from the heart?What does walking in humility and mercy look like this week?Lord Jesus, thank You for teaching that greatness is found in humility.
