The Absurdity of the Unforgiving Christian - Conflicted: Part 5 - Woodside Bible Church Troy

As we walk this earth there will be pain; it is inevitable. Our pain may be physical or emotional and could come from a fellow brother or sister in Christ. Perhaps they sinned against you, said hurtful words, or brought harm upon you. When these circumstances occur, it can be difficult to forgive. We may wrestle with forgiveness for years, only being able to come to a place of forgiveness by the grace of Jesus. As we close out our series, Conflict[ed]: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture, we will dive into why forgiveness is necessary in the body of Christ. Looking to Jesus as an example, as He forgave those who persecuted Him, beat Him, and mocked Him, yet still went to the cross to die from them. His model is inspiring for us as we look to love those who hurt us. Forgiveness is necessary as followers of Christ because we have been forgiven much and because forgiveness is the way of the kingdom. Join us in the final sermon of the series, The Absurdity of the Unforgiving Christian, and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart.
