Forgiveness
Adrian Rogers
Matthew 18:18-35
Take God's Word this morning and find Matthew chapter 18. And in a moment we're going to begin reading in verse 21. Most of you have heard of an evangelist named Dwight L. Moody. Dwight L.

And his fellow servant fell down at his feet and besought him saying, Have patience with me, I will pay thee all. But he would not, but went and cast him into prison till he should pay the debt.
