FORGIVE // Starting Over

FORGIVE // Starting Over

Have you ever been hurt by someone? How do you respond? Maybe you retaliate, unfriend, block, or simply walk away. There is another option...God wants you to forgive! That's tough! For eight weeks, we will be looking at different relationship dynamics and the incredibly challenging, yet freeing, choice to forgive. God wants to clean your heart!

We have the capacity to avoid people we don't like.

John 4:5-6

John 4:7

"She is a Samaritan; she knows the sting of racism. She is a woman; she’s bumped her head on the ceiling of sexism. She’s been married to five men. Five. Five different marriages. Five different beds. Five different rejections. She knows the sound of slamming doors. She knows what it means to love and receive no love in return. Her current mate won’t even give her his name. He only gives her a place to sleep. The epitaph of insignificance could have been hers. "
- Max Lucado

John 4:8-9

Have you ever looked at someone condescendingly?
Jesus is willing to cross borders for any broken soul.

John 4:10

“Spiritual growth, in a sense, is simply increasing our capacity to experience the presence of God.”
- John Ortberg
