Themes include: * Is forgiveness a feeling or a choice? * Does forgiveness mean excusing the injury? * Does forgiveness free the offender from the consequences of his or her actions? * How does forgiving others free me to flourish? 6-week study / each week includes: * Five devotional readings on a common topic * Five personal 'Daily Sunlight' studies to help you nurture a closer relationship to God * One in-depth group Bible study, 'You're Weekly Feeding,' to provide enriching perspective and interaction on the weekly theme |
