Parables
The Ungrateful Servant
Intro:
Well good morning Church and welcome.
It is good to see you all here as we continue our studies on the parables.
Jesus used the parables to teach spiritual lessons all the while hiding the meaning so that people would have to seek out the answer.
It is no different with today’s parable, which is all about forgiveness.
If you would go ahead and turn over to : Read
Pray
Video (signs of Forgiveness) Power comes from forgiveness.
The softening of your heart, the letting go of hate and anger.
The freedom that is found in forgiveness is immense.
To forgive is to bring forgiveness to yourself.
That is what this week’s parable is all about, forgiveness.
Not only the necessity of it, but also the freeing nature that it brings in our hearts and the danger of not letting it go.
