Love Restored: Relationships Restored

Tim Brown - 2/22/2026

Ever feel stuck in resentment—like you know you should forgive, but you can’t stop replaying what happened? In this message from Highlands Fellowship Church, we talk honestly about offense, anger, and the cultural pressure to “pick sides”—and why Jesus offers a better way that actually heals your heart.  You’ll learn what forgiveness is (and what it isn’t): it’s not pretending it didn’t hurt, not saying it was okay, and not the same thing as reconciliation. Then we walk through Jesus’ powerful story in Matthew 18 and three simple-but-hard steps that can start changing you from the inside out: pray for them, bless them, and do good to them—until bitterness loses its grip.
