Summary
The condition of the hearts of the people of God play a role in determining God's response to that generation. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of forgiveness in finding freedom and initiating change in our spiritual journeys. He relates instances from the lives of Joseph, Daniel, and Jesus, demonstrating what forgiveness looks like, even in the hardest situations. Pastor Allen also provides insight on the effects of unforgiveness we see in our culture today. We want to be a generation that pleases God, so it's time to have a heart change—it's time to forgive.
