EASTER AT RISE

The Fight To Forgive

Oct 19, 2025    Jarrod McClintick

In this message on forgiveness, we're challenged to face one of the most difficult yet transformative aspects of our faith. Drawing from Romans 12:17–21, Paul calls us to “repay no one evil for evil,” inviting us to live beyond our natural instincts. Forgiveness isn’t weakness—it’s strength rooted in Christ’s example on the cross. When we forgive, we’re not excusing evil but trusting justice to God. This perspective frees us from bitterness and opens the door to healing and peace. As we reflect, we’re invited to examine our hearts and take bold steps toward true forgiveness.
