Our oldest daughter is attending her second year at College. She is attending a Christian College near our home. She join the student leadership team this year and she was asked to lead a student chapel this Wednesday evening . . .Trying to put together a duel teaching with her, I came up with some thoughts that I share with you.

Marissa's job was to pick some songs, which she did, she also came up with a very good illustration at the end. My part is to come up with a fifteen minute team talk on forgiveness. So here are some thoughts.

I would like to use this verse as a base verse

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life." (1Timothy 1:15-16).

The first step to walking in forgiveness is to REALIZE that we are sinners.

The second step in walking in forgiveness is to RECEIVE His mercy.

The third step in walking in forgiveness is to REPEAT His actions to others.

From that perspective, we can truly walk in forgiveness.

Lord please walk with us.
