You love being forgiven. But forgiving someone who actually hurt you? That's a different story. Maybe you walked into today carrying a name. A memory. A betrayal that was real, intentional, and never apologized for. And somewhere along the way you picked up the idea that forgiving means forgetting — or that you have to feel it before you can do it. No wonder it feels impossible. In this message, Pastor Chris walks through Jesus' Parable of the Unmerciful Servant (Matthew 18:21-35) and shows us that forgiveness isn't about excusing what happened. It's about refusing to let what happened define who you become. You'll learn three truths that lead toward forgiveness: remembering how much you've already been forgiven, releasing the people who have hurt you — and understanding what forgiveness actually does and doesn't mean — and why real forgiveness isn't something you manufacture on your own. It's supernatural. Unforgiveness feels powerful. But it eventually becomes a prison — and most of the time, the person trapped inside is you. Today can be freedom. Watch and find out how.
