Part two of our 70x7 series continues Jesus’ teaching on forgiveness. In Matthew 18, Jesus uses the parable of the unforgiving servant to show the massive gap between the mercy we’ve received and the forgiveness we often withhold. Forgiveness isn’t just for others—it frees us, restores our relationship with God, and allows us to live like Jesus.📖 Scripture: Matthew 18:21–35, Colossians 3:12–13, Matthew 6:14–15🎙️ Speaker: Pete Margate, Youth Sponsor00:00 – Introduction04:29 – Lollipop story09:03 – The broken lamp11:56 – Radical forgiveness14:07 – The unforgiving servant18:45 – Prison of the heart22:03 – Garbage piling up25:14 – Pete's forgiveness testimony41:22 – Closing encouragementNorthwest Students youth services, every week from 6–8:30PM at Northwest Christian Church!
