Forgiveness is hard—especially when it comes to people who seem to have no remorse. But Jesus makes it clear in Matthew 6:14-15 that our own forgiveness from God is tied to how we forgive others. In this episode, we break down what that really means and why forgiveness is more about our relationship with God than the other person.

We’ll look at the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus’ response to Peter in Matthew 18, and how God disciplines those He loves (Hebrews 12:5-7). Forgiveness isn’t about ignoring wrongs—it’s about trusting God and reflecting His grace.

Join me as we dive into what it really means to forgive—even when it feels impossible.

This episode of Memorizing Scripture focuses on Matthew 6:33-34, where Jesus commands us not to be anxious but to seek God's kingdom first. Gordon shares his personal struggles with worry from childhood. However, he later realized that "Do not be anxious" is a command, just like the Ten Commandments.

Jesus teaches that we cannot serve both worry and God—our concerns about appearance, provision, and control must be surrendered to Him. Using examples from nature, Jesus reminds us that if God cares for birds and flowers, He will certainly care for His children. Worry does not add to our lives, but trust in God sustains us.

The key takeaway is to focus on today—not tomorrow’s uncertainties. Instead of worrying about things beyond our control, we should seek to glorify God in the present moment, trusting that He provides what we truly need.
