THE LORD’S PRAYER

Q-If you feel comfortable, tell of a time when you “held onto a hurt” of which you had a hard time letting go.
Q-What was key for you in letting go?
Q-What are some obvious symptoms of unforgiveness in our lives?
Go over each of the biblical principles discussed in the sermon and discuss why each one is important in the forgiveness journey.
Read John 8:31-32. 1-Putting the commandments of God into action by learning to abide in Jesus.
Read Psalm 51:6. Learning to deal honestly with our heart at both the level of our sinfulness and our emotions.
Read 1 John 2:2. Remembering the magnitude of forgiveness we have received in Jesus. Q-What does propitiation mean? Q-What does remembering the full payment Jesus made on the cross and taking the cross into all our relationships practically mean?
Read Matthew 18:32-35. Describe why the servant was considered wicked? Q-What was his punishment? When was he released from prison? Have you ever had a keen sense of your wickedness when refusing to forgive?
Read Psalm 141:5. Have you ever had another person point out to you an unforgiveness “booger” you were wearing which you couldn’t see? Q-Why is this an act of kindness?
