0:00.0	Hello, this is Jensen Franklin and thank you so much for joining us for this week's podcast.
0:06.0	Our goal is to provide you with biblically based teachings that will challenge inspiring
0:12.0	and equip you to live for Jesus. If you haven't already, I'd love for you to go ahead and
0:17.0	subscribe today to this podcast so you can get the latest updates from us and you don't
0:23.0	ever have to miss a new message. Let's go right into the service. Record it at free
0:29.0	chapel. I believe it's going to bless you today.
0:34.0	In Matthew 18, verse 21, then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall
0:41.0	someone sin against me and I have to forgive him? Up to seven times. And he said to
0:51.0	him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven, which is
1:00.0	amazing statement. I want you to notice that Simon Peter was trying to define
1:09.0	forgiveness with a mathematical, as a mathematical equation. What is a number?

1:32.0	somebody off and be done with him. And you know, trying to put a mathematical
1:39.0	formula on forgiveness. I want to talk to you about the mathematics of forgiveness for
1:45.0	few moments today. I always struggle with math in school. I hated it. I despised it
1:53.0	and skipped it all that I could. I don't please don't do that if you're a student.
1:58.0	You're much better than I. But to this day, it's not my favorite thing. That's why
2:06.0	we have a financial department and a chief financial officer just so I don't go to
2:10.0	prison, basically, because I'm not good at math. I don't like to do it. I do it.
2:16.0	I had a necessity, budgets and all that, but I hate it. I have to force myself.
