Summary

Audacious Part 3 | Beth Moore | Living Proof Ministries

In this final message of the Audacious series, Beth Moore walks us into the heart of one of the hardest, but most freeing acts of faith: forgiveness.

When we withhold forgiveness, we hold others at arm’s length, locked elbows, hardened hearts. But the Greek word aphiēmi means to send away. Forgiveness is not passive, it is active. It’s letting go of what we’ve been holding and handing it to Jesus.

Beth reminds us:

- You cannot hold onto unforgiveness and cling to Jesus at the same time.

- The gospel is worth fighting for, and that fight begins with grace.

- It's time to get the shame off you, your faith belongs on Jesus.

Scriptures: Luke 23:34, Matthew 6:9-15, Acts 22:20, Revelation 2:1-4, Luke 5:24, Acts 4:1-20, Acts 4:31, Romans 8:15, Acts 7:51, 54-60
