A Lesson on Forgiveness

Sermon by Pastor Chastity Parks

Biblical conflict resolution is essential for healthy church communities and personal relationships. This comprehensive guide explores Jesus' three-step process from Matthew 18:15-20 for handling disagreements and sin within the church. Learn the proper way to approach private conversations, understand the role of witnesses in conflict resolution, and discover when to involve the broader church community. Many Christians struggle with church conflict, relationship problems, and forgiveness issues because they misunderstand these biblical principles. This teaching addresses common mistakes like skipping self-examination, wanting to be right instead of seeking restoration, and creating church hurt through improper conflict handling. Discover the true meaning of forgiveness as taught by Jesus, including the significance of seventy times seven and why forgiveness is a continual choice rather than a one-time decision. Perfect for church leaders, small group members, and anyone dealing with relationship conflicts or church hurt.

Topics covered include: biblical counseling principles, church discipline done right, restoration versus punishment, and the eternal implications of binding and loosing.

Whether you're facing current conflicts or want to prevent future church problems, this biblical approach to conflict resolution provides practical wisdom for creating healthy, restored relationships that honor God and advance His kingdom.https://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) Were you blessed by this message?
