In this worship, Rev. Larry Rice explains to us how the power of forgiveness will ease the burden and stress we feel in everyday life.

In this episode, Jesus appears to his disciples after His resurrection and breathes the Holy Spirit on them so that they can be Iis instruments of forgiveness!

Brandon Cook - Matthew 18:21-35 - Aug 31, 2025

Forgiveness is a vital component of the gospel, essential for experiencing God's presence and impacting our world. Pastor Joel explains Jesus' teaching on forgiving from the heart which means: 1) Compassion for the Offender, 2) Commuting the sentence, and 3) Cancelling the debt entirely. Forgiveness is the key to freedom, healing, and transformative influence, mirroring God's own boundless grace and offering a path to renewed purpose and impact.

Bible Reading: Matthew 18:21-35It was starting to rain. Daisy hated being out in the rain. But she had gotten into a big fight with her older sister before heading outside to walk the dog. They had yelled at each other and called each other names, and she wasn't ready to go back to the house and face her. Daisy didn't know what she was going to say when she did.So she kept walking down the sidewalk. Her dog, Oscar, was getting wet too, but he didn't seem to mind.The further she got from home, the heavier the rain came down. Daisy was getting soaked now and wondered if it had been a good idea to stay out so long. What if she got sick? She'd better turn around and go home.Daisy tugged on Oscar's leash and got him to jog with her back to the house."Where were you?" her sister Violet asked as soon as she stepped through the door. Was her sister still angry with her? Daisy bit her bottom lip. "We were walking.""You're soaking wet." Violet frowned. "Go take a bath and warm up. I'll deal with Oscar."Daisy handed her the dog's leash and hurried to do as she was told.After a nice warm shower, Daisy dressed in some dry clothes and made her way to the kitchen, where she could hear her sister moving about."Here." Violet set a steaming mug in front of her. "I made you hot chocolate.""Thanks." Daisy put her hands around the mug but didn't sip yet. "You're not mad anymore?""No." Violet sighed. "I'm sorry. We always fight, and then when something happens like you go wandering out in the rain, I regret everything I said.""I regret everything I said too," Daisy said. "I hate fighting with you."Violet nodded. "At least we can say we're sorry and forgive each other. And God forgives us too.""No matter how many times we fight," Daisy said."Or what we do." Violet smiled. "We can always forgive each other and count on God's forgiveness so that we can start over again." –Bethany AckerHow About You?Do you often get into fights with your siblings or friends? Do you sometimes worry that things have gone too far? Or do you always come back and forgive each other, time after time? God forgives us again and again for the wrong things we do, and that's how He wants us to forgive others. When you say unkind things to others, tell them you're sorry, and trust God to help you forgive them for the hurtful words they said to you.Today's Key Verse:For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (NIV) (Matthew 6:14)Today's Key Thought:Forgive again and again

Luke 6:37-42 Mark Whitcomb August 24, 2025

Finding freedom from guilt requires understanding that self-forgiveness is not our responsibility—it's God's. Like Peter, who denied Jesus three times yet was restored, we must learn to distinguish between conviction (what I did was bad) and shame (I am bad). Shame leads to despair while conviction leads to repentance. Jesus doesn't dwell on our failures but gives us a mission for the future. The devil brings up our past to derail our future, but God has already forgiven us. Our identity isn't defined by our mistakes but by who God says we are.

We preach grace to others. We believe in God's forgiveness. But when it comes to ourselves, we struggle. Why is it easier to believe God forgives them… but so hard to believe He forgives me? This is where the enemy loves to wage war: in the battleground of your mind, using your own memories as weapons.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“As far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us.” — Psalm 103:12 (ESV)Let's get something straight—Jesus didn't die for part of your sin. He died for all of it. If He says it's removed as far as the east is from the west, then it is. If He says you're clean, then you are.The problem? We keep dragging the past back into the present. Not because God hasn't forgiven us—but because we haven't forgiven ourselves.That abortion you never told anyone about…That word you wish you could take back…That season of rebellion that still haunts you…These moments play on repeat in your mind, while heaven has already hit “delete.”Self-forgiveness isn't weakness or denial—it's agreement with the cross. When you withhold forgiveness from yourself, you're saying your standard is higher than God's. You're denying the power of the blood. And that's not humility—it's bondage.It's time to let go. Not just because it's healthy—but because it's holy. When God says “It is finished,” He means your shame is finished, too.So today, speak to yourself the same grace you've spoken over others. Look in the mirror and say, “I am forgiven. I am free. I am no longer bound by what I cannot change.”Question of the Day:What is one thing you still beat yourself up for that God has already forgiven?Mini Call to Action:Write it down. Then cross it out and write in bold: “FORGIVEN.”Let's Pray:Jesus, I receive what You've already given. I lay down the guilt I've carried for too long. Teach me to agree with Your grace, not my shame. Thank You for setting me free. Amen.Let's Get To Work!Stop holding yourself hostage for what Jesus already paid for.

In Matthew 9:1-8, Jesus returns to Capernaum and heals a paralyzed man, but not before addressing his sins. This story highlights the importance of true friendship, as the man's friends brought him to Jesus. It also shows that Jesus prioritizes spiritual healing over physical symptoms, challenging religious systems that limit God's mercy. The crowd reacts with awe, while religious leaders resist. The passage encourages us to seek both spiritual and physical healing and to bring others to Jesus for true transformation.

Forgiveness is not a suggestion but rather it's a command and a mark of discipleship. When we put away anger, bitterness, and wrath, we make room for kindness, tenderheartedness, and true forgiveness. Forgiveness is intentional, costly, and countercultural, yet it is the very way we imitate Christ, who loved us and gave Himself up for us. Drawing from Ephesians 4, this message will challenge you to resist revenge, release bitterness, and embrace forgiveness as the pathway to freedom and spiritual maturity.

In week three of our Red Letters series, we tackle one of life's most challenging topics: forgiveness. Discover why unforgiveness is like drinking poison, and how Jesus's radical teachings in Matthew 18 and 6 offer a path to true freedom. This message reveals that forgiveness isn't about forgetting or condoning, but a powerful, liberating choice that transforms your heart and opens you to God's grace. Learn how secure identity in Christ empowers you to release bitterness and live unchained from the past.

When you're struggling with anxiety disorders, you often do things that don't reflect who you really are - avoiding social gatherings, canceling plans, or making demands on loved ones that you normally wouldn't. As you start to recover, it's common to feel overwhelming guilt about how your anxiety affected the people around you.In this episode, Drew and Josh explore the complex journey of self-forgiveness after anxiety recovery. They discuss why anxiety disorders can make people appear self-centered while emphasizing that the disorder isn't who you are as a person.Understanding that anxiety disorders are incredibly common and not your faultWhy trying to achieve absolute certainty that you didn't hurt others keeps you stuckThe difference between healthy regret and destructive self-criticismHow to practice willful tolerance of difficult feelings like guilt and shameWhy some people need to apologize while others don't - there's no universal approachRecognizing that feeling bad about past actions reflects your values, not your failures[2:45] The Reality of Anxiety's Impact: Drew and Josh discuss how anxiety disorders make people do things against their nature and why this creates lasting guilt.[6:50] You're Not Responsible for Having a Disorder: "We'd have to rent the city of Denver to fit all the people with panic disorder" - Drew explains why anxiety disorders are common medical conditions, not personal failures.[12:15] The Impossible Standard: Why seeking absolute certainty that you never disappointed anyone is both unrealistic and counterproductive to healing.[14:30] Drew's Personal Story: A vulnerable moment where Drew shares his ongoing regret about not visiting a dying friend, and why he doesn't want to "get over" this feeling completely.[17:45] The Meta Problem: How the same tendency that creates anxiety disorders can turn against you when processing guilt about the past.[27:40] Josh's Compassionate Reframe: "Would you rather be someone who doesn't feel bad when they act against their values?" - A powerful perspective on why guilt reflects your moral compass. This episode offers practical wisdom for anyone struggling with self-forgiveness while maintaining the hosts' signature balance of professional expertise and lived experience. Drew and Josh remind us that healing often means learning to sit with difficult feelings rather than trying to eliminate them entirely.---Disordered Roundtables are here!

Forgiving someone can feel especially hard when they never apologize or try to make things right. Even when we want to release the pain, the hurt can linger. In this episode, we explore a different way forward that helps you move beyond old wounds and make space for fresh joy, hope, and possibility. After listening, you may be inspired to learn about Hoʻoponopono, a traditional Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. It is a method that has brought me clarity, lifted my spirit, and deepened my ability to forgive myself. This is a rebroadcast, but it is an important one to remember so we can all let go, move on and live our best lives. Hoʻoponopono I am sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you.

From the archives - it's the best of “The Best Way To Live” podcast - summer edition:Many of us are serious about following Jesus but still have bridges back to our old lives that need to be destroyed. When you have sin in your life, it blocks you from hearing what God wants to say to you and prevents you from experiencing true freedom.

Read OnlinePeter approached Jesus and asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.” Matthew 18:21–22Saint John Chrysostom, in commenting upon this passage, explains that “seventy-seven times” was a way of saying “always.” In other words, Jesus was not giving a specific number to the times we must forgive, He was saying that forgiveness must be offered forever and always, without limit. This is the depth of forgiveness offered to us.This passage also shows the contrast between the human tendency towards forgiveness and God's. Peter, no doubt, must have thought that he was being generous by asking if he should forgive his brother as many as seven times. Perhaps he thought Jesus would be impressed by this apparently generous suggestion. But the infinite mercy of God can never be outdone. There is simply no limit to the mercy of God, and, therefore, there must be no limit to the mercy we offer others.What is your personal practice when it comes to seeking the forgiveness of God in your life? And what is your practice in regard to offering forgiveness to another? This line quoted above introduces the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant. In that parable, the servant owed his king a “huge amount.” In mercy, the king forgave the debt just as God is willing to forgive us no matter what. But forgiveness does have one price. The price is that we must also forgive others to the same extent. Thus, when the servant who was forgiven a huge amount later sees one of his servants who owed him a much smaller amount, he demands the debt be paid in full. The result is that the king hears of this and withdraws his mercy, requiring the servant to pay him back in full.This tells us that forgiveness is not an option unless we are perfect and owe no debt to God. Of course, if anyone thinks that, then they are not living in reality. As we read in the letter to the Romans, “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). As a result, it is essential that we offer forgiveness always and everywhere, without condition, without limit and without hesitation. How easily do you do this? How fully do you forgive?One of the hardest persons to forgive is the one who has no sorrow for their sin. When this happens, it is easy to justify our condemnation of them. One thing that might be helpful to reflect upon if you are currently withholding forgiveness from another and remain angry, bitter or hurt, is that your lack of forgiveness does more damage to your own soul than to theirs. By refusing to forgive, you do immeasurable damage to your soul and to your relationship with God. Remaining angry and hurt only leads to more anger and hurt. It leads to vengeful thinking and even acting. And that is a sin for which you will be held accountable. Reflect, today, upon the infinite depth of mercy and forgiveness you are called to offer to each and every person who has or will hurt you. To forgive is certainly not to excuse. On the contrary, the act of forgiveness acknowledges the sin. But mercy must be offered no matter what. Always, everywhere, unending and without any conditions, it must be offered. If this is difficult to do, do it anyway and do not stop. Doing so will not only help the sinner, it will also open the gates of mercy from God in your life. My forgiving Lord, Your mercy is infinite and unfathomable. You desire to forgive every sin in my life and to restore me completely to a life of perfect union with You. I accept this gift of forgiveness in my life, dear Lord, and I freely choose to offer this same depth of mercy to everyone who ever has or ever will sin against me. I forgive as completely as I can. Please help me to imitate Your unending mercy.

Gracia Burnham was serving as a missionary in the Philippines when she and her husband, Martin, were kidnapped by Muslim terrorists. They spent over a year in the jungle as hostages enduring hardships of all kinds, including constant shortage of drinking water, near starvation, and 17 gun battles. Even more difficult than the physical challenges were the questions Gracia wrestled with. How could God still love her? How could she forgive those who had so horribly mistreated her?   God worked in miraculous ways through Gracia's time in captivity to change her heart, all for His glory. ++++++++++++ Compelled is a seasonal podcast using gripping, immersive storytelling to celebrate the powerful ways God is transforming Christians around the world.

There's a reason Jesus linked our ability to receive forgiveness with our willingness to give it. Forgiveness isn't just a kindness—it's a command. But let's be honest. Forgiving someone who wounded you, betrayed you, or left you bleeding? That's not natural. That's supernatural. And that's why we're starting here.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you...” — Matthew 6:14 (ESV)Forgiveness doesn't mean what they did was okay. It means you've decided not to carry the poison anymore. It means you're surrendering the offense, not condoning the offense. That's a huge difference.When Jesus teaches us to forgive, He's not minimizing our pain—He's maximizing our freedom. Because holding onto unforgiveness binds us, not them. It ties our soul to the offense. And Jesus wants us free.You might say, “But they haven't apologized.” That's okay. Forgiveness isn't based on their repentance—it's based on your obedience. You don't need closure from them. You need healing from Him.And here's the truth: forgiveness is not a one-time emotion. It's a decision you may have to make every single day for a season. But each time you choose to release, something breaks off of you. The grip of the past loosens. And you begin to heal.Remember, the Cross wasn't just about forgiving your sin. It was the power for you to forgive others—even when they don't deserve it. Because that's what grace does. And that's how the Kingdom moves.Question of the Day:Who do you need to forgive today—even if they've never said “I'm sorry”?Mini Call to Action:Write their name down. Speak it out loud. And say, “I release them. I choose freedom over bitterness. In Jesus' name.”Let's Pray:Father, I confess—this hurts. But I don't want to carry the weight anymore. Help me to forgive, not because they deserve it, but because You forgave me. Set my heart free. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Forgiveness isn't weakness—it's warfare. Today, you're breaking chains. Walk away from that offense… and into the freedom Jesus paid for.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

It's something no one talks about, the anger you feel with yourself at the way you let others treat you. The important thing? Forgiving yourself and finally setting boundaries with others.

Think you've forgiven… but still feel stuck? You're not alone.Most of us were never taught what real forgiveness looks like—just the performance of it. Say a prayer. Say the words. Move on. Except… we don't.This episode will shift your view of forgiveness from a moment to a movement—one that actually sets you free.

Today we are talking about how our bodies will respond to kindness, even if we haven't been kind to them for years. They are forgiving, just like our Heavenly Father is! You'll hear today: 1. How our bodies are wired to reflect the characteristics of God 2. A powerful moment during a university class where I realized I needed to say sorry to my body for how I had treated it 3. The required first 3 steps in asking God to heal your relationship with food 4. How miracle stories in the Bible are there for us to find hope for change in our own life stories Bible verses mentioned: Genesis 18:14 "Is anything too hard for the Lord? As I said, nine months from now I will return, and Sarah will have a son." Psalm 25:7 "Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD."

Not Forgiving Someone HURTS YOU and NOT Your Perceived Offender; Forgive Like Jesus Who Forgives You, Unconditionally MESSAGE SUMMARY: If God has forgiven you, why do you have to confess your sins? Confession is for you. For you to forgive, as the Christ forgives you. Your forgiving others means that you release others from the offense that you believe they have committed. Jesus set the “forgiveness standard” for you as Paul tells us in Ephesians 4:31-32: “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.". Someone said that “holding a grudge and not forgiving is like drinking poison yourself to kill your enemy”. However, your forgiveness is not conditioned on the offender coming and asking you for their forgiveness – if you are like Jesus, you have already forgiven the offender. If you do not forgive like Jesus, the offense festers and turns into resentment; and these unhealthy feelings are happening in you and not in the perceived offender because you have not forgiven your perceived offender as instructed be Jesus – “forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you”.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 91). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will entrust to Him my future. I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.  From 2 Timothy 1:12 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Ephesians 4:31-32; Mathew 6:14-15; Psalms 130:3-4; Psalms 32:1-11.

In a follow-up to last week's episode, I question my favorite prayer hotline about why they hung up on me for asking if God and Satan could "bury the hatchet" and allow Devil-worshippers into Heaven.

Acts 7:59-60When we've been wronged, it's tough to see things from the other person's perspective. But when we do that, it's grace in action. Grace lived out in our everyday lives revolutionizes our relationships.
