Reformation Baptist Church Wetumpka

Words have power—power to wound, to heal, to shape destinies, and to restore relationships. In this sermon, Pastor Brandon Scroggins walks through 2 Corinthians 2:1-11, unpacking the weight of words in our lives, the pain of broken relationships, and the unmatched power of undeserved forgiveness. Discover how biblical reconciliation mirrors the gospel and why the three most powerful words in the world—"I forgive you"—can transform lives.
