Sermon Illustrations

I doubt if anyone knows the name of the man in the picture on the screen, but once I tell you his name, you’ll know him, at least in some way. Who is he? Adolf Coors IV! (show picture) And yes, his father was killed in the 60’s by a mad gunman. But years later Adolph became a Christian and realized he needed to let go of the hate in his life and forgive his father’s murderer. So he went to the penitentiary and forgave the man who murdered his dad! It took three visits, because the prisoner wouldn’t even come out to see hm at first. But once he forgave him, Adolph then had the opportunity to witness to him! Guess what? He led his father’s nurdrered to the Lord!

You see, forgiveness paved the way for a spiritual breakthrough!
