SOAR DISCUSSION GUIDE

The Power of Forgiveness

Ps Chee Fah

Vision  – to build disciples who represents Jesus to everyone, everywhere with everything.

Introduction

One of the key values in discipleship is hearing and obeying the Word. Therefore, it is important to have accountability to one another for our step of obedience from studying the Word. Spend the first part of your discussion asking – how did your step of obedience go from last time we met?

Scripture

Read Matthew 5:38-48, Leviticus 24:17-23 and Deuteronomy 19:14-21

1. Forgiveness is letting go by not hitting back

• Do you have unforgiveness in your heart? How have you tried to deal with your unforgiveness?
• How have you dealt with the unforgiveness of others in your life?
• How has your unforgiveness affected your relationship with Jesus?

– What will you do to obey this? I will…
