One Another - Week 2: Forgive

In the second message of our series called One Another, Pastor Gilbert explores the biblical perspective on forgiveness. This message provides an answer to the question, "What do we do with the things that can't be undone?" Preaching through Matthew chapters 9 and 18, he reminds us that God doesn't simply recommend we forgive our brothers and sisters - rather He commands it. Gilbert uses the Rwandan Genocide as an example of people being called to forgive what seemed unforgivable. When we forgive others, we reopen intimacy with God. When we forgive others, we find freedom. As Christians we're able to forgive those who have transgressed against us not because the transgressions don't matter, but because the righteousness of Christ and His atoning work on the cross is sufficient to cover them.
