Season 2, Episode 7 – Forgiving in the Light

In this episode of Lantern Kids, Pastor Jay shares how forgiveness sets our hearts free. There are two kinds of forgiveness every person needs:

1️⃣ God forgiving us—freely given to all who believe in Jesus.

2️⃣ Us forgiving others—even when it’s hard.

Bible Verse (NIV)

Ephesians 4:32 — “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

Bible Story

Jesus told the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18:21–35). A king forgave a servant an enormous debt, but that servant refused to forgive someone who owed him only a little. The story reminds us: God forgives, so we really should be able to forgive others.

Family Challenge – Confession & Forgiveness Circle

Gather as a family. Begin with a short prayer thanking God for His forgiveness.

Then each person can say something like, “Mom, I’m sorry for the time I broke your vase,” or “Brother, I’m sorry for yelling yesterday.”

After each confession, the other person responds, “I forgive you.”

End by thanking Jesus for His perfect forgiveness.
