LORD’S PRAYER: FORGIVE US …
Message by Josh Mutter – January 28, 2024
BIG IDEA: We will find peace when we engage in the practices of forgiveness.
Matthew 6:9-13 NIV “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
1. When we seek forgiveness from God we find the relationship that we were created to have.
Exodus 34:6-7a NIV The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.
Steps to Seeking Forgiveness:
a. Be honest with ourselves
b. Be honest with God
c. Accept God’s forgiveness
2. When we grant forgiveness to others we discover the freedom of what life with God is all about.
Steps to Granting Forgiveness:

Matthew 6:9-13 NIV “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
