Matthew 18:21–35, Matthew 5:23–24
Love Feast

In a powerful sermon on Love Feast Sunday, Pastor J challenged the congregation with a profound question: How should Christ's boundless forgiveness shape our relationships with one another? Drawing from Matthew 18's parable of the unforgiving servant, he illuminated the stark contrast between our insurmountable debt to God and the relatively minor offenses we hold against others. Pastor J shared touching memories of his childhood church, where members actively sought reconciliation before the annual Love Feast, resulting in remarkable growth and spiritual blessing. He emphasized three crucial points: 1) recognizing our own forgiven debt, 2) rejecting the poison of unforgiveness, and 3) restoring genuine fellowship through reconciliation. With pastoral wisdom, he urged immediate action—whether through silent prayer, planned conversations, or direct reconciliation during the Love Feast itself. The message culminated in a stirring call for Kapahulu Bible Church to become a community marked by humility, forgiveness, and unity, reminding us that "forgiven people are happy to be forgiven and consider it worship to forgive."
