What happens to a person who’s been offended against by another in a deep and harmful way? We know that God’s children, we’re commanded to forgive our transgressors. Yet mustering the courage to forgive can be like walking on broken glass. It remains one of the hardest things to do!
What we know is that our relationship with God is lived out in a fallen world, and played out in an arena full of hidden dangers and traps. On this battlefield, we’re vulnerable to the slings and arrows of life – and all of us have scars to prove it! To make matters worse, our adversary, like a roaring lion, seeks to devour us through offense and poison us through unforgiveness.
Even if we’ve escaped the worst of his snares, many of us struggle with resentment, anger, and bitterness due to historical mistreatments of every kind. Instead of joy in the Lord, we struggle under clouds of hurt and gloom. The reality is that unless we’ve worked through life’s painful events, the freedom promised to us in Christ remains theory rather than experience. Unforgiveness is a cruel taskmaster, with the power to keep us locked in prisons of torment.
But thanks be to God, there’s a way out of this prison and into freedom!
In this session, Jeremy will help us better understand what forgiveness is and what it isn’t. Through relevant, scriptural teaching, he’ll present a strategy that’s helped many begin the healing process through letting go of past offense.
Topics Include:
-The Nature of Forgiveness: Dispelling the Myths
-Forgiveness as a ‘Process’
-Practical Steps to ‘Letting Go’ and ‘Letting God’
-An Exercise in Forgiveness that Begins the Healing Process
