Sermon Points: 1. To forgive means to pardon or remove the debt earned by the person who has sinned against me. 2. Real forgiveness confronts the issue by telling the truth about what the offense is and the damage it has caused while also extending grace. 3. Forgiveness is not optional; it's commanded. 4. Forgiveness is not easy. 5. Forgiveness cannot be earned; it must be granted. 6. You cannot offer someone forgiveness if you are not willing to tell someone their offense. (Matthew18: 15-20)
