Thank you for joining us for today’s message. Today Pastor Harold unpacks Matthew 18:21-35 and what it means to forgive someone else. We learn that forgiveness is what Jesus commands from all of us as kingdom people, and if we fail to live it out, we are no better than the example of the unforgiving lord in today’s parable. Pastor Harold helps us discover what leads to an unforgiving heart, which is fear, anger, and resentment. We are reminded that we need to be on the lookout for the Big Three R’s, Resentment, Resistance, and Revenge. Pastor Harold’s demonstrates his popular teaching on a term he coined “Tube Theology.” This message is a message you don’t want to miss and one that will help liberate you spiritually, especially if you have been stuck or not experiencing the presents of the Holy Spirit in your life.
