Send us a text Grace flows into our lives not through religious rituals but through a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ. This profound truth transforms how we approach our faith journey. Jesus extends a personal invitation in Matthew 11:28-30: "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Forgiveness as Freedom

When Peter asks if forgiving someone seven times is sufficient, Jesus responds with a number so large it can only mean one thing: true forgiveness knows no limits. The sermon unpacks the meaning of forgiveness as "giving forth"—an active, intentional gift rather than a passive acceptance. This reframing helps us understand why Jesus commanded such radical forgiveness. Wh...
