Episode 52 - Forgive
Show Notes
Mark 11:25-26 NLT
Jesus encourages us to work out our un-forgiveness with Him, in prayer.
2 situations where forgiveness is something we have to deal with:
Victim
Relational
Let’s talk about the root cause - or WHY we find ourselves hurt, broken, angry, etc.: Unmet expectations
Q1: What are some situations where unmet expectations have: hurt you, made you angry, changed your life?
Exodus 32:1-4 NLT
Vs 2 - where did they get the earrings from?
Vs 4 - who delivered them and destroyed Pharaoh’s army?
Exodus 32:7-9 NLT
Q2: Was God justified in His anger?
So how did God deal with His unmet expectations?
Exodus 32:13-14 NLT
Q3: Why do you think God changed His mind after Moses reminded God of His promise?
Psalm 27:10-11 NLT
3 Ways to deal with our unmet expectations:
1. Build your relationship with God, develop your trust in Him, knowing that He alone will be faithful to you, even if no one else is.
2. Desire to do the things He tells you do, even if they are hard, because they lead to life.
3. Recognize your own humanity - how many times have you failed someone’s expectations? It will help you to extend forgiveness to others.
Q4: What are some ways to prevent unmet expectations?
Challenge:
Choose to forgive someone for something they have done or neglected. Send them a letter/email/text if appropriate.
