Forgive And Forget

Jul 12, 2026    Pastor Jeff

We've all heard the phrase, "Forgive and forget." It sounds biblical. It sounds spiritual. But... God never actually said that.


So what does the Bible teach about forgiveness? Does forgiving someone mean pretending the pain never happened? Does it mean restoring broken trust immediately? Does it require forgetting the deepest wounds of your life?


This week we'll discover that biblical forgiveness is not about erasing your memory—it's about releasing your bitterness. God never asks us to deny our pain or ignore wisdom. Instead, He invites us to experience the freedom that comes from entrusting justice to Him while allowing His grace to heal our hearts.


If you've ever struggled to forgive someone who deeply hurt you—or wondered if it's even possible—this message will offer hope, clarity, and a biblical path toward genuine freedom.


Join us this Sunday as we continue our series, God Never Said That, and discover that what God did say is far better than the clichés we've often believed.
