ILMS 5 – WII: Divorce, Forgiveness, and New Beginnings
Guest: Donna Pyle
Young, fresh, and finding Jesus
What does genuine warmth look like for visitors in the church?
Brokenness and Restoration
- making some kind of peace with our past
- those who hurt to see us hurt
- God is not a puppeteer
Forgiveness
- anger has its place
- when life feels like a hurricane
- the place of counseling
- walking through forgiveness, rather than obtaining forgiveness
