Dressed for the Season: Forgiving Each Other (Colossians 3:12–14) - a podcast by Grace Community Church (Newton, KS)

What’s True in the Bible?

Why We Forgive

1. If you hold on to offenses, they will hold on to you. (Colossians 3:13 / Hebrews 12:15)

2. Forgiveness is not optional, but it is voluntary. (Colossians 3:13 / Matthew 6:12–15, 18:21–35 / Ephesians 4:30–5:1)

What’s Real in my life?
• What easily offends me?
• When is it difficult to forgive others? Why?
• Have I forgiven everybody in my life as God has forgiven me?
• What do I need to forgive “from the heart?”

What’s Next?

• Who do you need to forgive? Take the next step in forgiving them from the heart.
• How can you prepare yourself to respond to offenses with forgiveness? Write out a prayer that you can use for those situations.
