Summary
Resentment is a dangerous filter to view the world through. It can grow into anger, hatred, bitterness, and all sorts of destructive things—but there's an alternative: forgiveness. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the damaging effects of resentment versus the freedom found in forgiveness. He teaches about transactional faith as opposed to transformational faith— "using" God to get our ways versus letting Him change our lives. Pastor Allen emboldens us to have the courage to forgive others and to speak out about our faith, even in the face of criticism. During this season of increasing division, it's time to have a change of heart and let go of our unforgiveness.

| 1:19.3 | but as I have said many times I don't believe an election is going to fix us. |
| 1:24.0 | We've had enough experience with elections where people that we thought would be the solution were elected and they may have enacted some policies that caused you to smile |
