Sermon by Pastor Luke

The primary reason for struggle is unforgiveness.

Gen 2:9
Tree of bitterness.

We (man) have a choice :

Tree of life(God himself).

OR

Tree of knowledge of good and evil(Independent of God).

Two basic principles at work in our lives

1. The law of judgement.
   Matt 7:1, 3-5
2. The law of sowing and reaping.
   Gal 6:7-8

How to root out unforgiveness?

1. Forgive.
   We need to forgive to receive forgiveness from God.
2. Pray for those who have done wrong against you.
   Heb 12:15
3. Repent of our sins to God.
   Deal with the issues of your heart.
   1John 1:9
