As we conclude the message series “The Grudge,” we face maybe the hardest person to forgive: ourselves. As we consider Paul’s counsel to seek the godly sorrow that leads to repentance rather than the worldly sorrow that leads to death, we find some pointers to the grace we need through the experiences of the disciples Peter.

As we continue our message series “The Grudge”,” we tackle a hard topic of forgiving God. While God never sins and so never actually needs our forgiveness, many of us have disappointments in life, frustrations, and times when it feels like God has let us down. This week, we consider the story of Hannah from 1 Samuel as learn to trust God even when God doesn’t make sense to us.

Text: Proverbs 19:11

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

We have a tendency to carry painful parts of our past with us: resentment against people who’ve hurt us, mistakes we’ve made, or even bitterness toward God. This series will show attenders how to recognize the grudges they’re carrying against others and themselves, and how the pain we hold on to weighs us down and keeps us from stepping into the freedom that God has for us. This week we consider the importance of letting go of the small offenses to stay focused on our calling to love others in Jesus’ name.
