Forgiveness and Reconciliation

September 19, 2021 • Emma Blustin • 2 Corinthians 5:18–19, Matthew 24:12–13, John 3:16, Matthew 6:12–15, Ephesians 2:6

Emma continues our LOVE series with the challenging issues of forgiveness and reconciliation. Whilst Jesus' command to forgive will eventually lead us into freedom, Emma suggests we pause to ask ourselves, what are we are actually doing when we forgive? What can we learn about the nature of forgiveness from the gospel story?
