January 23rd: Forgiveness: Letting Go of Anger | Carpooling with Jesus

🚗 Welcome back to Carpooling with Jesus! I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re talking about the importance of forgiveness. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 18:21-22 that we should forgive, not just a few times, but over and over. Let’s dive into how forgiveness can lighten your heart and bring peace, just like Jesus forgives us!

💡 Key Takeaways for Kids and Parents:

• Forgiveness Defined: Jesus teaches that forgiveness isn’t about counting—it’s about showing love and understanding.
• Let Go of Anger: Learn how holding onto anger feels heavy, but forgiveness can help you feel lighter and more joyful.
• Practical Tips:

  • Choose forgiveness: It's a way to keep your friendships strong.
  • Show kindness: Even after forgiveness, find ways to be kind.
