Forgiveness

Scripture: Luke 17:1-4
Message: Word of Life Part 2: Love
Speaker: Pastor Tyler Graftaas

What are the requirements of life? From a physiological point of view, we need brain activity, which requires breathing and a heartbeat. However, who amongst us is satisfied with defining our lives in that way? For most, we begin to define being alive as having an identity, being productive, having meaningful relationships, and more. But what about forgiveness? Does forgiveness help define our lives? Is it a good idea for life? Do we need to forgive in order to be alive? Often forgiveness is seen as something we should do, or are required to do because Jesus forgives us, but what if forgiving was as essential to life as breathing, a heartbeat, and brain activity? This Sunday we will explore our third word of life, forgiveness.
