Sermon Snippet from this Sunday's service (Sept. 13) "And so now – I come to the forgiveness part of this sermon, the “Matthew part”…Why – in learning of the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt, is it important to talk about forgiveness? – well, in order to follow God to freedom, in order to be disciples – we have to let of those things that hold us back… and here is something I loved learning: the Greek word for forgive, aphiemi, means simply to open your hand and drop what it’s clutching. So you see - if reconciliation just can’t happen, let it go."
