✝️ This Week’s Message: The Hard Choice Between Hatred and Love

This week’s message from Matthew 18 challenges us to consider one of the hardest parts of following Christ: forgiveness and reconciliation.

Jesus reminds us that when we are hurt or wronged, we are called to seek reconciliation rather than revenge—to bring our pain to God, surround ourselves with trusted people, and allow Christ to guide us through even the most difficult circumstances.

Forgiveness does not mean ignoring wrongdoing or abandoning justice. It means choosing to let Christ lead our hearts rather than allowing anger and hatred to take control.

And when we gather together in His name, Christ is there among us. 🙏

"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." — Matthew 18:20

Watch this week's message and take some time to reflect: When we are hurt, will we choose hatred or love?
