On this 11th Sunday after Pentecost, the Church sets before us the parable of the wicked servant (Matthew 18:23-35). Preaching as a guest at St. Athanasius Antiochian Orthodox Church in Sacramento, California, Fr. Matthew Howell explains how gratitude is the key to unlocking forgiveness, and why both are essential to the Christian life. Along the way, he tells a story about Nelson Mandela while also quoting Mark Twain, Don Henley, and Andy Griffith.
