When Easy Isn't Worth It Part 1: Forgiving Others
Update: 2025-09-15
Description
In When Easy Isn’t Worth It, Pastor Rodney reminded us that life is hard, people are complicated—but God is still good. This week’s message was personal and timely, as we processed both national tragedy and private battles. Joseph’s story gave us a roadmap: release the offense, shift your perspective, and take the high road.
Joseph was betrayed, forgotten, and falsely accused. But God did not forget him. God raised him up. And when the time came, Joseph didn’t retaliate—he reassured. He spoke kindly. He blessed the very people who hurt him. That’s what spiritual maturity looks like. That’s what kingdom impact requires.
So what about you? What’s going on in your world? Who do you need to release? Where do you need to zoom out and stop living as a victim of the past? Maybe it’s time to stop holding the match of bitterness—and start walking in the freedom forgiveness brings.
If you missed it, this message will both challenge and strengthen you. Because true freedom? It’s found on the hard road.
