Praying for Forgiveness and for a Forgiving Heart | Pierce VanDunk

This message explores the powerful connection between forgiveness and our relationship with God. Through the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches us not only to receive God’s forgiveness for our own sin, but also to release unforgiveness toward others. While forgiveness can be one of the hardest things we ever do, holding onto bitterness and shame only damages our hearts and disrupts our connection with God. This sermon reminds us that healing begins when we bring our pain honestly before God, allow Him to soften our hearts, and trust His grace to free us from both shame and unforgiveness.
