Sermon Series for Lent: Living the Hard Sayings of Jesus

Sermon on March 15th: 490 times

Did Jesus really mean we had to keep track and forgive only 490 times? Surely forgiveness isn’t that legalistic. What does it mean to live forgiveness for others? Lets see this Sunday.

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. (Matthew 18:21-22)
