Summary
How can we be free from the hurt caused by others? Who do we need to forgive, and how do we do it? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance and power of forgiveness, and the foundational role it plays in the outcome of our lives. He provides examples from the Bible of when people chose to forgive others, even after they were terribly wronged, and the blessings that unfolded as a result of that decision. Pastor Allen offers ground rules on forgiveness that are given to us in scripture and shows what the process of forgiving looks like in our actual lives.
