Last words from the cross - "Father forgive them"

In this first message from our “Last Words” communion series, we reflect on Jesus’ words from the cross: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (📖 Gospel of Luke 23:34).Spoken in the midst of pain, not after it, these words challenge us to think differently about forgiveness. As we come to the communion table, we explore what it means to forgive others - not because they deserve it, but because we have been forgiven through Christ. This message gently unpacks what forgiveness is (and isn’t), how we can release hurt to God, and how the power of the cross enables us to let go, even when it’s hard.
