The Art of Forgiveness

I'm doing a 3 week series on the topic of forgiveness. Here's how it goes:

1. How God forgives
2. How we forgive
3. ???

I haven't come up with the title of the 3rd week. Any ideas? Please?

What about forgiveness Vs repentence - you know, like issues of whether you can forgive someone if they haven't repented, and if you have repented but they choose not to forgive you...

Or living a forgiven life, implications of being forgiven in terms of attitude and how that changes life. Rom 6 stuff? Loving being forgiven and forgiving, but still hating sin. Wlking the line of grace Vs intolerance of sin (in ours and others' lives).

What about dealing with things that take decades to forgive, like abuse etc. Working through those things and helping others through them?

just rambling...

I like the idea of covering what it means to be living a forgiven life too actually...


What did you end up deciding to go with??

Here is what I ended up going with:

1. How God forgives
2. Why we forgive
3. How we forgive

Pray for me, I'm still working on writing the sermon for 3.
