Forgiveness is fundamental within our relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and with our Father in Heaven. To help us learn the importance of this we agree within the Lord's Prayer to God forgiving us within the same way that we subsequently forgive others. The reason for this is to teaches us the importance of forgiveness and therefore to maintain relationship with friends and family which otherwise would be destroyed. Even as He teaches us God continues to show His love towards us as he is willing to forgive major sin as we learn to forgive petty difference.

Truth remains stranger then fiction and in Jesus Christ and the Church the Trust of God is evidence in true Christians today.

What is faith, we know that without faith it is impossible to please God so faith is very important . This sermon is to help you know faith and strengthen our relationship with God our Father.
