"It Takes Faith to Forgive"  We're in our second part of our forgiveness series. Last week my wife, Lindsay, was traveling to Florida. She is back now and that is great! My three kiddos are also there in that row - Olivia is on the end, Sterling, my son is in the middle with mom, and Ellie is the one coloring right now.

We are in our series called Forgiveness. The good news is how many of you know that the best things happen on the other side of very difficult things? To start todays message we're going to look at the words of Jesus in Luke's gospel chapter 17. To help us set the tone for our study today. I want to say this before we read it - Jesus through the account of Lazarus and the rich man has made it clear that eternity is very real. It is all the more imperative that we live and show Jesus to others on this side of eternity because right now actually counts forever. When Jesus was talking to His disciples, helping them understand that they would be hurt, that they would be disappointed, that they would be betrayed by someone close to them. And, then he says this to His disciples in Luke 17 that it is impossible that no offense should come. There is another version that says it this way - betrayals are inevitable. And, if we can just sit in that for a moment we can probably agree. Some of us even have some memories right now flashing through our minds. There are times we are going to stumble, people are going to hurt us, they're going to let us down, and they may betray us and Jesus says - ALL of those things are going to happen....Worship Video HERE.
