Podcasts about Forgive Us Our Debts

Pastors Clay and Lindsey's sermon on forgiveness focuses on the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant (Matthew 18:21–35) and related passages. They emphasize the importance of acknowledging our own debt to God, receiving His forgiveness, and extending that same mercy to others. The message explores how forgiveness is tied to spiritual growth, freedom from shame, and living a life that reflects God's grace and love .

In this message, we continue the Summer of Prayer by looking at Jesus' words, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” Through the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18, we see that forgiveness is costly, repentance is essential, and receiving God's mercy should transform the way we extend mercy to others.   Forgiveness does not mean the wound never happened, trust must immediately be restored, or reconciliation is guaranteed. It means surrendering the debt to God and refusing to let offense or bitterness keep you in bondage. Learn how to forgive quickly, keep forgiving when the pain remains, ask the Holy Spirit for help, and allow the process of forgiveness to make you more like Jesus.

If God has already forgiven our sin by grace through faith in Jesus, why are we encouraged to continue asking him to forgive our debts?

When the disciples asked, "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1), Jesus gave them more than a prayer to recite. The Lord's Prayer is a model that teaches us how to structure our daily conversations with God. Each section reveals an important aspect of prayer and helps us develop a deeper relationship with our Heavenly Father.Key Scriptures: Luke 11:1; Matthew 6:9–131. "Our Father in Heaven"Prayer begins by recognising who God is. Through Jesus Christ we have been adopted into God's family and can approach Him confidently as our loving Heavenly Father. No matter what our earthly experience of fatherhood has been, God is a perfect Father. He is loving, righteous, compassionate and generous. Before bringing our requests to Him, we should spend time welcoming His presence, worshipping Him, and thanking Him for adopting us as His children. Key Scripture: Romans 8:14–152. "Hallowed Be Your Name"We honour God by recognising His holy character and declaring who He is.  The many names of God reveal His nature:- Jehovah Jireh – The Lord our Provider- Jehovah Rapha – The Lord our Healer- Jehovah Shalom – The Lord our Peace- Jehovah Raah – The Lord our Shepherd- Jehovah Nissi – The Lord our Banner- Jehovah Tsidkenu – The Lord our Righteousness- Jehovah Mekaddesh – The Lord Who Sanctifies- Jehovah Shammah – The Lord Is ThereAs we pray, we remind ourselves of these truths and trust God to be everything He has promised to be in every area of our lives.3. "Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done"Prayer lifts our focus beyond ourselves to God's Kingdom.We live in a spiritual battle between God's Kingdom and the kingdom of darkness. As disciples we pray for God's rule and authority to be established in every area of life.We should regularly pray for:- Government and those in authority- Media- Education- Arts and entertainment- Business- Our families, churches and communitiesPraying this way gives us God's perspective and enlarges our vision for what He wants to accomplish in the world.4. "Give Us Today Our Daily Bread"God cares about every area of our daily lives. Bread represents our daily needs—physical, emotional and spiritual. Jesus teaches us to bring these needs confidently before our Heavenly Father rather than living in worry and anxiety. God already knows what we need and promises to provide as we trust Him.Key Scriptures: Philippians 4:19; Matthew 6:345. "Forgive Us Our Debts, As We Also Have Forgiven Our Debtors"Prayer includes keeping our relationship with God and with others healthy.We should regularly ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any sin that needs repentance, receiving God's forgiveness through Christ. At the same time, we must choose to forgive those who have hurt us. Just as God has shown us mercy, we are called to extend mercy to others. Unforgiveness hinders our relationship with God and prevents us from walking in His love. Key Scriptures: John 13:34; Matthew 186. "Lead Us Not Into Temptation"Temptation is part of living in a fallen world, but God gives us strength to overcome it.Prayer prepares us before temptation comes. As we stay close to Jesus and depend on the Holy Spirit, we receive strength to resist the desires of the flesh and the lies of the enemy.Jesus overcame temptation through His relationship with the Father, and He enables us to do the same.Key Scriptures: 1 John 2:16; John 16:337. "Deliver Us From the Evil One"Our final prayer is for God's protection and deliverance.The enemy seeks to destroy, but Jesus has already defeated Satan through His death and resurrection. We can pray confidently for freedom from fear, addiction, depression, sickness, unforgiveness and every form of spiritual oppression. God's Kingdom, power and glory are greater than every work of darkness. As we pray, we stand in Christ's victory and trust Him to continue delivering us. Key Scripture: 1 Peter 5:8The Lord's Prayer is much more than a prayer to repeat—it is a pattern that teaches us how to build a rich and effective prayer life. By following this model, we begin with worship, align ourselves with God's Kingdom, bring our daily needs before Him, walk in forgiveness, seek His strength against temptation, and trust Him for protection and deliverance.As we learn to pray in this way, our relationship with God deepens, our faith grows stronger, and we become confident that His Kingdom will continue to advance through our lives.

Forgive Us Our Debts Matthew 6:9–12 Culture of Gospel Share this with someone in your life who doesn't know Jesus. Most people spend their lives trying to prove they're good enough or trying to hide the parts of themselves they're ashamed of. Jesus offers something radically different: a God who already knows your worst, still loves you completely, and invites you to stop pretending and simply come home. Sermon Summary In this message, Coleton continues through the Lord's Prayer by focusing on one of the most uncomfortable—and most freeing—requests Jesus teaches us to pray: "Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." (Matthew 6:12) Many people assume confession is something spiritually immature Christians do. Once you've followed Jesus long enough, you shouldn't need to confess very often. Coleton challenges that assumption by showing that Jesus teaches the exact opposite. The mark of spiritual maturity is not pretending you've stopped sinning. The mark of maturity is becoming increasingly honest about your sin because you've become increasingly confident in the Father's love. Coleton begins with a simple story about a child being told to own up to a mistake. Owning our failures is difficult, but it is one of the clearest signs of maturity. The same is true spiritually. Jesus invites His followers into a regular rhythm of confession—not because God is angry with them, but because He wants them to experience His grace again and again. Tyler Staton captures this beautifully: "One of the biggest mistakes we've made in the modern church is to reimagine spiritual maturity as the need to confess less... A maturing community is a confessing community—not a church without sin, but a church without secrets." Before explaining why confession matters, Coleton highlights three important observations from Jesus' prayer. Three Things Jesus Wants Us to Notice About This Prayer 1. Confession is not the first thing Jesus tells us to pray. Jesus does not begin the Lord's Prayer with confession. He first teaches us to call God Father, to worship Him, seek His Kingdom, and ask Him for our daily needs. That order matters. God isn't waiting for us to clean ourselves up before He listens to us. He isn't withholding His love until we've confessed every failure. Coleton illustrates this with his son Teddy. He would never refuse Teddy breakfast or a hug until Teddy apologized for everything he did wrong the day before. Healthy relationships don't work that way, and neither does God's relationship with His children. Confession is something we practice within the security of being loved—not something we do to earn God's love. 2. Jesus assumes we will sin. Jesus doesn't say: "If you've sinned..." He simply teaches us to pray: "Forgive us our debts." Jesus assumes every disciple will continue battling sin. If we struggle to keep diets, New Year's resolutions, or promises to ourselves, how much more do we struggle to meet God's perfect holiness? The prayer keeps us humble by reminding us that every believer continually depends upon God's grace. 3. This prayer comes with a warning label. Perhaps the most sobering part of the prayer is this phrase: "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Coleton describes this as the "fine print" of the prayer. Every time we pray these words, we're asking God: "Forgive me the same way I've forgiven others." That should cause every Christian to examine their heart. If we refuse to forgive those who have hurt us, we're asking God to respond to us with that same unwillingness. Jesus is exposing whether His grace has truly transformed us. Grace received always becomes grace extended. 1. Jesus Wants Us to Confess So We Experience the Father's Love Many people think confession is primarily about focusing on their failures. Jesus says it's actually about experiencing God's kindness. Coleton points to one of Jesus' greatest stories—the Prodigal Son. The Father runs first. Before the son ever finishes confessing... The father runs. He hugs him. He kisses him. The embrace comes before the confession. Luke 15:20–24 "While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion... he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him..." The son's confession lasts only a few words. The father doesn't interrogate him. He doesn't demand every detail. He doesn't shame him. Instead he interrupts him with celebration. The robe. The ring. The feast. The party. The father's joy completely overshadows the son's failure. Coleton explains that this is exactly how Jesus wants us to picture confession. Confession isn't crawling toward an angry God. It is stepping into the embrace of a Father who already loves His children. He summarizes confession in three movements: Step into the Father's affection. Acknowledge your sin. Receive the Father's joyful forgiveness and move forward. The Father never brings the son's past back up. Even when the older brother tries to, the father defends him. That is the heart of God. Bible Passage Luke 15:20–24 2. Jesus Wants Us to Run Toward God Instead of Away From Him Sin naturally produces hiding. Adam and Eve sinned, and their first instinct was to hide. We still do the same thing today. We hide behind excuses. We curate better versions of ourselves. We pretend. Jesus wants to completely reverse that instinct. Instead of hiding from God, He wants us to run toward Him. Coleton emphasizes that God is the safest person in the universe to bring your worst mistakes. There is nothing you can confess that surprises Him. Nothing that makes Him love you less. Dietrich Bonhoeffer writes: "You are a sinner, a great, desperate sinner; now come... to the God who loves you... He wants you as you are... You can hide nothing from God... with Him, you can dare to be a sinner." That phrase becomes the heart of this section: "Dare to be a sinner with God." Instead of pretending, come honestly. God promises mercy. Bible Verse 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 3. Jesus Wants Confession to Break Sin's Power Over Our Lives Hidden sin grows stronger. Confessed sin begins to lose its grip. Coleton turns to David's words after his own failure. Psalm 32:3–5 David describes the physical and emotional weight of hidden sin. His strength dried up. His bones wasted away. But everything changed once he confessed. Coleton summarizes it simply: Sin in our hands leads to death. Sin placed in God's hands is put to death. Many believers spend years trying to conquer sin through sheer determination. Jesus offers a different way. Bring it into the light. Ray Ortlund says: "We don't overcome sin by heroic willpower, but by confessing them to death." Tyler Staton compares confession to visiting a doctor. Healing begins when we're honest enough to identify what's actually wrong. Confession is not humiliation. It's the pathway to healing. Bible Passage Psalm 32:3–5 4. Jesus Teaches This Prayer Because Our Debt Cannot Be Paid Any Other Way Jesus deliberately uses the language of debt. Sin creates a debt we cannot repay. Many people instinctively believe they can balance the scales. If they simply become nicer... Serve more... Give more... Work harder... Surely God will overlook the bad. Jesus completely rejects that way of thinking. He doesn't teach us to pray: "Help me work off my sins." Instead He teaches us to ask for forgiveness because forgiveness is the only solution. We cannot erase our own debt. Only Jesus can. Coleton reminds the church that admitting this requires humility. Many people cannot admit they need mercy. But everyone who does finds more grace than they ever imagined. Pete Greig writes: "There is more grace in God than there is sin in you... Pray 'forgive us our sins'... and He'll forgive you. Just like that." This is the gospel. Our debt isn't reduced. It's erased. 5. Jesus Wants Us to Ask for Forgiveness Because God Loves Forgiving People The final point may be the most beautiful. God doesn't reluctantly forgive. He delights to forgive. Forgiveness isn't something we convince Him to do. It is something He loves to do. Coleton quotes Dane Ortlund, who reminds us that Christ finds joy when sinners come to Him for mercy. Jesus endured the cross because He delighted in making sinful people clean. Coleton uses a helpful illustration. Imagine asking a bank to forgive every debt you owe. It would seem impossible. But imagine someone had already paid every dollar you owed. Walking into the bank would suddenly become an act of confidence, not desperation. That is exactly what Jesus accomplished on the cross. Our confidence isn't in ourselves. It's in the One who already paid our debt. Ray Ortlund summarizes this beautifully: "God welcomes people who keep coming back to Him for more and more and more mercy... He isn't tired, and He isn't tired of you." Because Jesus has already paid the debt, believers can continually come before the Father with confidence, knowing forgiveness is always available. How Can We Practice This Prayer? Coleton closes by giving practical ways to make confession a regular rhythm of life. 1. Pray the Lord's Prayer exactly as Jesus taught it. "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." 2. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal hidden sin. One of the Holy Spirit's ministries is conviction—not condemnation. Ask Him to lovingly reveal areas that need repentance, and respond with humble confession. 3. Pray Psalm 51 regularly. Allow David's prayer of repentance to become your own. 4. Pray the tax collector's prayer. "Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner." Jesus said this humble prayer resulted in the man going home justified before God. 5. Practice the Prayer of Examen. Spend time each day reflecting on God's presence, reviewing your day, confessing sin, and receiving His grace before ending the day. Final Challenge Coleton closes by reminding the church that confession is not weakness. It is evidence of confidence in the character of God. Every time believers confess their sins, they discover once again that God is even kinder than they imagined. Jesus teaches us to pray this prayer not because He wants us to dwell on our failures, but because He wants us to continually experience the riches of the Father's love, the freedom of forgiveness, and the transforming power of His grace. The Christian life is not about hiding your sin better. It is about bringing your sin into the light where God's mercy is greater than your failures every single time. Discipleship Group Questions Which of the five reasons Jesus gives us for practicing confession impacted you the most, and why? Coleton said that spiritual maturity is marked by more confession, not less. How does that challenge the way you normally think about spiritual growth? Are you more likely to hide your failures from God or run toward Him with them? What keeps you from being completely honest with Him? Jesus teaches us to pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Is there someone you need to forgive? How does remembering God's forgiveness toward you help you extend forgiveness to others? Which of the five practical ways to practice confession (the Lord's Prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal sin, Psalm 51, the tax collector's prayer, or the Prayer of Examen) would be most helpful for you to begin practicing this week, and why?  

Have you been hurt by someone? Maybe they harmed you or someone you love in a way that just seems unforgivable. As Pastor Ricky continues to lead us through the Lord's Prayer, we're challenged to do the impossible. It won't be easy, it won't feel as good as revenge does in the moment, and it'll take a lot of prayer and the Holy Spirit's helping hand but forgiveness is vital for all followers of Christ. We've been given an immeasurable grace and we need to extend that same grace to our debtors."Mighty Fortress" by Sovereign Grace Music, used with permission.

Most of us have opened a bill and found ourselves in a mild state of shock over the debt it contains. Medical bills, tax bills, loans, whatever it was, it may have felt insurmountable in that moment. Imagine if a benefactor walked up to us, took that bill, tore it up, and declared that they would take care of it. As Pastor Ricky reminds us in today's message, that is exactly what Christ has done for us. He took our debt of sin, a debt we could never pay, and He paid it with His own life on the cross."Mighty Fortress" by Sovereign Grace Music, used with permission.

Equipping Hour | Praying with the Lord | "Forgive Us Our Debts..." by OrlandoGrace

This message reminds us that the disciples didn't ask Jesus how to perform miracles—they asked Him how to pray. They recognized that His power, wisdom, and miracles flowed from His relationship with the Father through prayer. The message emphasizes that one of the greatest hindrances to prayer is unforgiveness. Just as a backpack becomes heavier the longer it's carried, unforgiveness becomes a weight that burdens our hearts, affects our spiritual lives, and can even impact our physical and emotional well-being.The sermon teaches that when we continually rehearse our hurts, we keep them alive. Instead of replaying offenses and telling the story over and over, we are called to release those who have wronged us and trust God with the outcome. Jesus illustrated this through the parable of the unforgiving servant, showing that because we have been forgiven such a great debt, we must extend that same grace to others.The practical application is clear: pray for those who hurt you, speak well of them, guard your heart, and refuse to carry the weight of bitterness. Forgiveness is not about excusing what happened; it's about freeing yourself from the burden of carrying the offense. When we release others, we position ourselves to walk in freedom and experience a deeper, more effective prayer life.

6.21.26 | Matthew 6:12, 14-15

A devotional delivered to the congregation of Emmanuel Reformed Baptist Church prior to the midweek prayer meeting.

What happens to a debt when it's forgiven?In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked lines in the Lord's Prayer: "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Drawing from personal devotion and Paul's teaching on the Body of Christ, we wrestle with a simple but profound truth: debt never simply disappears. Someone always absorbs the cost.But what about the debts that can't be measured in dollars? What happens when someone steals your peace, damages your reputation, weakens trust, or leaves emotional wounds behind? How do those debts get paid?We discuss the connection between forgiveness and body life, why unresolved offenses affect more than just the people involved, the difference between restitution and restoration, and why true discipleship requires us to stop justifying our own failures while magnifying the failures of others.At its core, forgiveness is not simply a matter of obedience. It's a matter of faith. Do we trust that when we release what we're owed, God is able to restore what was lost?This conversation will challenge the way you think about forgiveness, responsibility, community, and the transforming power of grace.

Matthew 6:5-15 - - Aug 28, 2016

Lucas da Costa continues the study series on the Lord's Prayer. Tonight he considers God's forgiveness towards us and the forgiveness believers should show towards others. 1 Samuel 24; Matthew 18 vs 21 - 35. Also John 13 vs 4 - 17 & 1 John 2 vs 9 - 10

Forgiven people are forgiving people. Jesus teaches us to pray for forgiveness in the same breath He calls us to forgive others. This week we work through what honest repentance looks like, the difference between true repentance and its counterfeits, and what it means to receive mercy and extend it to others.

The Art of Prayer // Forgive Us Our Debts // Pastor Philip Muela by Inspire Churches

In this message from February 1st, 2026, Pastor Robby Gallaty unpacks asking God for forgiveness. Speaker: Robby Gallaty

Jesus' prayer, “forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,” indicates a daily rhythm at the heart of the kingdom: receiving forgiveness and extending it. Forgiveness is not a feeling but a loving readiness. God will meet us with the merciful forgiveness we need every time we fail. And He asks us to extend […]

November, 2025

Week three of the series, "The Lord's Prayer" focuses on the line “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors,” highlighting forgiveness as both a gift we receive and a command we extend. While believers are already forgiven through Jesus, continually asking for forgiveness keeps us humble, dependent, and grateful, helping us recognize and repent from specific sins. True confession leads to transformation, not just words but changed living empowered by the Holy Spirit. As we are forgiven by God, Jesus expects us to forgive others as well, revealing mature faith that reflects God's mercy. Ultimately, forgiveness is an act of the will through which God's love flows, freeing both the giver and receiver and demonstrating the heart of genuine Christianity.

What if I told you there was a process and no matter how much you blew up your life, if you used this process, there would be a way to come out the other side whole? Well, here it is. It's what the Bible calls repentance. You say, “You mean just saying I'm sorry?” But that reveals you don't understand the power of this kind of prayer. This kind of prayer, if you do it in an ongoing way, will finally enable you to change deeply from the inside out.  Looking at Psalm 51, we'll see 1) what one thing must you stop doing, 2) what two things must you start doing, and 3) where you get the power to do those two things. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 2, 2014. Series: The Prayer of Prayers. Scripture: Psalm 51:1-19.
