3 Main Takeaways

1. The power of apologizing doesn't always remove the consequences, but it can bring restoration and reconciliation in our obedience to Christ.
2. Our relationship with others also affects our relationship with God. God does not want us to hold on to unforgiveness.
3. How to apologize?

• I'm sorry for…
• Will you forgive me?
• I'm not going to do it again.

Vantage Point Challenge:

Give a sincere apology to someone you've offended.

• Be Specific
• Ask for forgiveness
• Assure the person you won't do it again
