What does forgiveness really look like when it’s lived, not just preached? In this message, we explore one of the most overlooked and shocking moments in the book of Acts — the day Paul walked into the home of Philip, the man whose close friend Stephen Paul once helped murder.

Their quiet, simple reunion in Acts 21:8 reveals the cost, beauty, and miracle of forgiveness in the life of the church.

We also connect this moment to Covenant’s fifth membership vow:

“Do you submit yourselves to the government and discipline of the church, and promise to study its purity and peace?”

This sermon dives into:

– Why forgiveness is not forgetting

– How to hope in God’s transforming work

– What frees us to let go of past wounds

– How forgiveness creates space for mission

– Why purity and peace are practices, not ideas

This is a story of grace, transformation, and the freedom Jesus brings — even to the most painful places in our lives and in the church. __________
