“No sooner had the servant left when he met one of his fellow servants, who owed him twenty thousand dollars He seized him by the throat and began to choke him, saying, ‘You’d better pay me right now everything you owe me!’ His fellow servant threw himself facedown at his feet and begged, ‘Please be patient with me. If you’ll just give me time, I will repay you all that is owed.’ But the one who had his debt forgiven stubbornly refused to forgive what was owed him. He had his fellow servant thrown into prison and demanded he remain there until he repaid the debt in full.

We are going to look at another gift inside of grace by looking at what Jesus says about love and hate. Jesus says to love your neighbor, but to also love your enemies. This plan will take you through what Jesus says about forgiveness, and how, as children of God, we can choose to love and forgive those who have wounded us.
One of the good news of the Gospel is that our life can change, no matter how it began. Your identity is not defined by your past. Jesus comes to your rescue, you can get back on the road, keep walking in the valley of the shadow of death and get out of it.
Forgiveness is hard, but expected. Jesus spoke about it often in the Parables. In this reading plan, we will look at Parables spoken by Jesus and recorded in the Gospels about forgiveness and living in love with the people around us. It is possible.
How do you respond when someone upsets you? Do you get angry? Are you sad? Do you sneak into their house at night and spread Legos all over their floor? Join in as we explore what Jesus calls us to do with our grudges (Spoiler alert: we are called to forgive!).
