How to Forgive Others as a Christian (Matthew 18 Explained)
Episode 18 — The Greatest in the Kingdom and the Power of Forgiveness

He warns against causing others to stumble, reveals the Father’s heart for the lost, teaches how to restore the fallen, and ends with a powerful parable of forgiveness without limit. This chapter reminds us that true greatness is humility, true faith protects others, and true freedom is found in forgiveness.
