Forgiveness & Inner Healing | New Year, New You | Pastor Daniel Kolson

🕊️ Healing doesn’t happen by ignoring pain—it happens by bringing it into the presence of Jesus.

In Week 3 of the New Year, New You series, Pastor Daniel addresses one of the most difficult—and most necessary—invitations Jesus gives us: forgiveness. This message goes beyond surface-level teaching and into the heart of inner healing, where wounds, memories, and unresolved pain often remain hidden.

Forgiveness is not minimizing what happened.

It’s not excusing sin.

It’s not pretending it didn’t hurt.

Forgiveness is refusing to let past pain continue to have authority over your life.

In this sermon, Pastor Daniel unpacks how unforgiveness quietly keeps believers stuck, how it creates emotional and spiritual vulnerability, and how Jesus invites us into real freedom—not by bypassing wounds, but by healing them.
