If a picture is worth a thousand words, what can we learn about forgiveness as we look at the life Jesus?

For the next few weeks, we are going to put a frame around the life of Jesus as he walks, talks and lives forgiveness in the gospel accounts. This Bible Study is designed to equip you with Biblical, practical and relatable application, enabling you to face the different challenges that prevent you from breaking free of the chains of bitterness and regret.

We will discuss the different portraits, modeled by Jesus, illustrating how forgiveness, grace, and kindness impact relationships and the world around us. Forgiveness is a vital part of a beloved life and a life changing practice that you and I are made to live in.

My prayer is that God will use our time together to shine a light on the areas of your heart that are holding you back from fully embracing yourself as a beloved daughter of God. You are created to live loved and draw from the glorious abundance of God’s love for you and those you interact with every single day.
