Make Room: Forgiveness

In the final message of our Make Room series, Pastor Stefen Gage challenges us to examine one of the biggest barriers to God moving in our lives—unforgiveness.

As we approach the season where we celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are reminded that the cross is the ultimate picture of forgiveness. While we were still sinners, Jesus chose grace over judgment and love over offense.

But if we celebrate the forgiveness we’ve received from God, how do we respond when it comes time to forgive others?

Through powerful biblical examples like Paul’s plea for Onesimus in Philemon and Stephen forgiving those who stoned him in Acts 7, this message explores the freedom that comes when we release bitterness and make room in our hearts for God to move.

When we choose forgiveness, we are not saying the pain didn’t happen—we are choosing to place the weight of it in God’s hands.

If you’ve ever struggled with letting go of hurt, resentment, or disappointment, this message will challenge and encourage you to walk in the freedom that forgiveness brings.

When forgiveness enters the heart, freedom follows.
