Sermon
Forgiving Them
Cross Church
Speaker: Noe Garcia, with Nick Floyd
July 1, 2024 · 40 min
Summary
Using Matthew 6:9-12, the speaker explores how intentional prayer—specific, transparent, and expectant—invites believers to confess sin and extend forgiveness to others. True healing comes not from revenge but from releasing those who hurt us, which paradoxically sets the forgiver free.
Highlights
When you begin to forgive them, you begin to set yourself free. The person that hurt you cannot be the person that heals you.
You don't set them free because they deserve it. You set them free so that you can be set free.
To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.
