In today’s episode, Pastor Rob concludes Thursday’s powerful message on Jesus’ words from the cross: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
This teaching explores why Jesus prayed this prayer out loud, what it means for our own forgiveness, and how choosing to forgive can release us from the bondage of bitterness.

Pastor Rob walks us through Scripture, prophecy, and real-life stories—including Corrie Ten Boom’s remarkable testimony—to demonstrate the life-changing freedom found in extending forgiveness the way Jesus modeled.
