Good morning, and welcome to State Street Community Church. We're glad you're here, whether you're watching from your couch or your kitchen table, or checking in from somewhere else.

This week we wrap up our series, Resolving Everyday Conflict, with a question many of us carry quietly: If I've forgiven someone, why don't I want them back in my life?

Many of us have been taught that forgiveness and reconciliation are the same thing. They aren't. Forgiveness releases the debt. Reconciliation rebuilds the relationship. You can give one on your own. The other always takes two. This week we look at what Scripture says about both. We'll talk about how to forgive without pretending the hurt never happened, how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, and how to make things right when you're the one who caused the harm.

Join the conversation: Say hello in the chat and let us know where you're watching from. Our team is here to pray with you and answer questions.
