Forgiveness
Starting at a young age, we teach children to forgive one another when they experience hurt or disagreement. As we grow up, we start to recognize that forgiveness can be easier to talk about than to actually do. In this Groundwork series, we’ll examine the concept of forgiveness in both the Old and New Testaments to understand what forgiveness is and what it is not. With Scripture as our guide, we’ll learn about God’s forgiveness, how to discern when we need to forgive, and how to forgive even when it’s hard.
