The 3 Most Powerful Words in the World: Part 2 | 2 Corinthians 2:1-11

What is true biblical forgiveness? In this sermon, Pastor Brandon Scroggins unpacks 2 Corinthians 2, revealing the power of undeserved forgiveness and how failing to forgive gives Satan a foothold in our lives. Using Miss Havisham's tragic bitterness from Great Expectations as an illustration, this message urges us to release the grip of unforgiveness and live in the freedom of Christ's forgiveness. 📖 Sermon Text: 2 Corinthians 2:5-11 🛐 Join us for worship!
