First Baptist Church, Lagrange, Georgia

In Matthew 18, Jesus uses the parable of the unmerciful servant to convey profound lessons on forgiveness. Peter approaches Jesus, asking if forgiving someone seven times is sufficient, to which Jesus responds with 'seventy times seven,' signifying limitless forgiveness. The parable tells of a servant who owes an unpayable debt to his king but is forgiven out of compassion. However, this servant then refuses to forgive a fellow servant's minor debt, leading to his punishment by the king. This story underscores that, just as God forgives our vast sins, we must also forgive others' smaller transgressions. True forgiveness involves extending mercy and grace, releasing bitterness, and fostering genuine reconciliation. By embracing forgiveness, we align ourselves with God's immense mercy and transform our spiritual lives and relationships. First Baptist Church depends on faithful and generous giving.
