ILMS 5 – WII: Divorce, Forgiveness, and New Beginnings

Guest: Donna Pyle

Young, fresh, and finding Jesus

What does genuine warmth look like for visitors in the church?

Brokenness and Restoration

• making some kind of peace with our past
• those who hurt to see us hurt
• God is not a puppeteer

Forgiveness

• anger has its place
• when life feels like a hurricane
• the place of counseling
• walking through forgiveness, rather than obtaining forgiveness

The Myth of Forgetting and Forgiving

• The reality of trauma in brokenness
• He promises to make everything beautiful in its time
• Honoring sadness
