[1812.02 --> 1813.10] and bearing one another's
[1813.10 --> 1813.48] burdens
[1813.48 --> 1815.48] so that we may grow
[1815.48 --> 1817.34] and reflect,
[1817.46 --> 1818.14] even if it's
[1818.14 --> 1818.86] a little bit,
[1819.36 --> 1820.44] reflect a glimpse
[1820.44 --> 1821.44] of God's kingdom
[1821.44 --> 1822.18] on earth
[1822.18 --> 1823.24] as it is in heaven.
[1824.90 --> 1825.90] And so the invitation
[1825.90 --> 1826.40] today,
[1826.50 --> 1827.20] brothers and sisters,
[1827.58 --> 1828.64] is to take a step.
[1828.64 --> 1830.56] who is someone
[1830.56 --> 1831.66] you care enough about
[1831.66 --> 1832.96] to hold accountable
[1832.96 --> 1833.82] and to seek
[1833.82 --> 1835.04] reconciliation with?
[1836.10 --> 1837.36] And the warning again
[1837.36 --> 1838.30] is be careful
[1838.30 --> 1839.04] not to sin
[1839.04 --> 1839.76] in your anger
[1839.76 --> 1841.92] or just to brush it off
[1841.92 --> 1842.90] or just hold
[1842.90 --> 1843.36] the grudge
[1843.36 --> 1844.10] inside of you.
[1846.02 --> 1847.08] But can you just
[1847.08 --> 1847.76] start with a cup
[1847.76 --> 1848.26] of coffee?
[1849.80 --> 1850.74] Can you take
[1850.74 --> 1852.22] one simple step
[1852.22 --> 1852.76] at a time?
[1852.96 --> 1854.42] Because the good news,
[1855.24 --> 1855.80] the gospel
[1855.80 --> 1857.16] is good news for us.
[1857.46 --> 1858.52] It doesn't just
[1858.52 --> 1859.40] throw challenges
[1859.40 --> 1860.14] for us to do
[1860.14 --> 1860.84] and fail at.
[1861.36 --> 1862.28] The good news
[1862.28 --> 1863.86] is that the foundation
[1863.86 --> 1865.16] and where we lean on
[1865.16 --> 1866.30] through every step
[1866.30 --> 1867.58] of this hard journey
[1867.58 --> 1870.50] is on the forgiver
[1870.50 --> 1871.86] of all of our sins.
[1872.18 --> 1873.74] That's where we fall back to.
[1874.14 --> 1875.28] That's our safety net.
[1875.86 --> 1876.70] The Holy Spirit
[1876.70 --> 1877.42] is the one
[1877.42 --> 1878.68] who dwells within us,
[1878.80 --> 1879.80] who guides us
[1879.80 --> 1881.12] every step of the way.
[1882.20 --> 1883.32] And so that's the blessing
[1883.32 --> 1884.48] for us this morning.
[1884.48 --> 1886.44] May all of us
[1886.44 --> 1887.06] be blessed
[1887.06 --> 1888.22] and be attentive
[1888.22 --> 1889.96] to the Holy Spirit's leading
[1889.96 --> 1890.96] as we continue
[1890.96 --> 1892.34] to seek to be a community
[1892.34 --> 1893.34] of forgiveness
[1893.34 --> 1895.12] and reconciliation.
[1896.18 --> 1897.42] May we journey
[1897.42 --> 1898.24] through this
[1898.24 --> 1900.30] difficult process together.
[1901.34 --> 1902.06] Let's pray.
[1908.90 --> 1910.70] Loving and forgiving
[1910.70 --> 1911.32] Father,
[1911.32 --> 1914.24] we thank you so much
[1914.24 --> 1915.34] that you have brought us
[1915.34 --> 1916.52] here together
[1916.52 --> 1917.38] as your people
[1917.38 --> 1919.14] and you have reminded us
[1919.14 --> 1920.24] of our identity,
[1920.46 --> 1920.58] Lord.
[1922.42 --> 1922.98] Lord,
[1923.12 --> 1924.26] may we continue
[1924.26 --> 1925.28] to be a community
[1925.28 --> 1926.08] that seeks
[1926.08 --> 1927.06] love,
[1928.06 --> 1929.12] worked out
[1929.12 --> 1929.76] in forgiveness
[1929.76 --> 1930.72] and reconciliation,
[1931.80 --> 1933.12] especially in those times
[1933.12 --> 1934.26] where it seems
[1934.26 --> 1935.80] like it's impossible.
[1935.80 --> 1938.22] may your spirit
[1938.22 --> 1939.36] give us the humility
[1939.36 --> 1940.76] and the wisdom
[1940.76 --> 1941.48] that it takes
[1941.48 --> 1941.96] to journey
[1941.96 --> 1943.18] through these hard steps
[1943.18 --> 1944.72] as we seek
[1944.72 --> 1945.78] to forgive one another
[1945.78 --> 1947.22] just as you
[1947.22 --> 1948.22] have forgiven us.
[1949.50 --> 1950.88] Continue to remind us
[1950.88 --> 1952.08] of where we come from,
