Forgiving somebody can be one of the most difficult things we do. It's not easy to offer forgiveness to someone who has hurt us.

But when we forgive, we can experience peace in our soul and can move on from bitterness and resentment.

Today's message comes from Chris Podlich who is the pastor of Beyond Church in Griffin. Chris will look at a system he calls the cycle of forgiveness and how this can help us to forgive more freely.

Beyond Church meets every Sunday at 10am in Griffin State School on Wesley Road in Griffin.
