Steven Patterson is the College Pastor at First Baptist Church of Wichita Falls. In Week 2 of "Free People, Free People" we talk about what forgiveness is not and what forgiveness is by walking through Matthew 18:21-35; The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant.
The Lord has called us, even in the midst of our pain, to forgive. It is not for them, but for you.
"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4: 30-32
