Does God expect us to forgive everyone for everything they've done to us? In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally continues the series about the Lord's Prayer, focusing on the line: "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." The Lord's Prayer: Matthew 6:9-13 Today, “forgive us our debts and we forgive our debtors.” Forgiveness: Greek - to send away, release, or to set free with the implication to leave alone.Debt: metaphor for sin. Matthew 6:14-15 “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.”Forgiveness is a two-sided coin: heads, I'm forgiven. Tails, I forgive.You can't separate the receiving of forgiveness from the releasing of forgiveness. How you respond to other people's sin reveals how much like Jesus you are. We must accept God's forgiveness.1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” God is more willing to forgive our sin than we are willing to admit our sin.God wants you to admit your sin because you can't be released from what you don't recognize.Ephesians 1:7 Isaiah 43:25 How often do you think about a bill you've already paid? You don't. That's how often God thinks about your forgiven sin: He doesn't. Quit reminding Him! We must forgive ourselves.We can only give what we have, so in order to forgive others, we must forgive ourselves.2 Peter 1:8-9 If you don't receive God's forgiveness, you will continue to do things that require God's forgiveness. If you believe you're still a sinner, you will act like a sinner. If you believe you're a saint, you will act like a saint.Romans 8:1 We must forgive others.Colossians 3:13 “Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.” Forgiving others is not:1. Denying what happened.2. Excusing sin.3. Shielding someone from consequences.4. A guarantee that someone will change. (If you need someone else to change or say sorry in order for you to be OK, you are their prisoner) You don't forgive people for them, you forgive people for you.If you will forgive the people who hurt you, God will remove the pain they caused you. How to forgive others:1. Make the choice.2. Engage the process.Forgiveness is not just a point in time action; It's a life-long decision.3. Ask God for help. “If heaven is where everyone is forgiven, and hell is where no one is forgiven, then forgiveness is bringing heaven down to earth, and unforgiveness is bringing hell up to earth.”- Josh Howerton When you pray do you ask God to forgive your debts just as you have forgiven your debtors?
All of us want to be seen, heard, and known. But it's not until we get away and get with God that we are truly seen, heard, and known. Here's fresh vision from Jesus for a familiar practice--prayer.
Prayer is one of the conduits through which we develop our relationship with God- so what is it and how do we do it? Alison is joined again by Greek IV National Director, Brian Mann, to talk about communicating with God. As mentioned, this is the text for the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) 9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

This week BibleWorm returns to our series on the Bible and Economic Justice with a look at Matthew 6:7-15, a text known in the Christian tradition as the Lord's prayer. As we read the prayer through the lens of economic justice, we begin to realize that that Jesus is calling his followers toward a life of simple trust in God. We ask enough food for today, we promise to forgive the debts of our neighbors, we ask to kept away from the temptation of plenty. In this way, Jesus says, God's name is made holy. In this way God's kingdom will come to earth—here and now, among us. We don't need to ask for more, Jesus says, because God already knows this is all we need.
Sermons, January 2023, Matthew, Lead Me to the Cross, Lent, Gethsemane, Pastor Ray Fowler
Today, we will read the passage that contains what became known as The Lord's Prayer—Matthew 6:6-13. The words of Jesus. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. “When you pray, don't babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don't be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. The time we invest in prayer is going to pay dividends as we live our life. The time in private with God is going to be seen in public with others because prayer changes us, changes our thinking, and changes our circumstances. Jesus says that the key to our prayers doesn't lie in repetition to Him but in relationship with Him. With this in mind, listen again to the passage from the Message translation. Jesus says to you, and I The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They're full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what's best—as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You're in charge! You can do anything you want! You're ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes. Such a great rendering of The Lord's Prayer. Did you notice our closing to all our prayers for Sound Mind Set? … As above, so below. … This is where that comes from. As above, so below is our goal for life. Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, I use Jesus' words today to close in prayer … Our Father in Heaven, reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what's best. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You're in charge! You can do anything you want! You're ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes. … As above, so below.”
At Midtown Presbyterian Church, our mission is to invite people into a transformative relationship with Jesus Christ. We borrow this language of transformation from the scriptures, where we are encouraged as Christians to be “transformed by the renewing of our minds" (Romans 12:1-2). Being a Christian isn't simply about information - it is about transformation, becoming people whose entire beings embody the way and work of Jesus in every part of our lives. With this goal in mind, we at Midtown have developed an introductory curriculum, alongside a library of resources, events, sermons, and podcasts, designed to help transform our community into Christlikeness. Listen as Pastor Clint explores the subject of prayer, something that was foundational for Jesus but so often difficult for us. How do we restore our prayer lives? As it turns out, we're not the first ones to ask the question: Jesus' disciples similarly asked Him, "Lord, teach us to pray." Jesus' response is found the famous Lord's Prayer, a template the illuminates the transformative significance of prayer in our own lives and gives us a structure in our own prayer lives. Sermon Resources: 1. “We, for every kind of reason, good and bad, are distracting ourselves into spiritual oblivion. It is not that we have anything against God, depth, and spirit, we would like these, it is just that we are habitually too preoccupied to have any of these show up on our radar screens. We are more busy than bad, more distracted than nonspiritual, and more interested in the movie theater, the sports stadium, and the shopping mall and the fantasy life they produce in us than we are in church. Pathological busyness, distraction, and restlessness are major blocks today within our spiritual lives." -Ronald Rolheiser, The Holy Longing: The Search For A Christian Spirituality 2. Interview with Justin Rosenstein on our distracted culture: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/oct/05/smartphone-addiction-silicon-valley-dystopia 3. “The whole reason why we pray is to be united into the vision and contemplation of God to whom we pray.” -Julian of Norwich 4.

Do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Matthew 6:7. Fortunately, Jesus didn't stop there. He goes on to give us the Lord's Prayer as the way we should bring our needs to God. But do we sometimes skim over part of it the part about provision? We'll talk about that today on MoneyWise. Let's talk about the place in the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:11) where Jesus instructs His disciples to pray Give us this day our daily bread. It's a very important verse that we tend to take for granted. Jesus is teaching His us that God is our provider and we're to ask Him to provide for our needs, and the most basic physical need is food. Our friend, Pastor David Platt has written about this, reminding us that the verse is intended to destroy our pride. How often do we ask God to provide us with the food and water that we'll need today? And to thank Him for doing so, especially these days when prices are so high? When we say those words in the Lord's Prayer, do we really mean them? I think sometimes we're just reciting words, because we forget that only God can provide us with the food and water we need to survive. He owns everything. We may think that our actions, earning and saving money, provide those things, but that's never the case. Even our ability to earn money comes from God. We're only reminded that God is our real provider when we sense that those things are about to be taken from us and we begin to feel hunger and thirst. But this is about more than making money to buy food. We hunger for many other things in this world peace, love, purpose, healthy relationships, you name it. The Lord's Prayer is an example of how we should pray for all of those things. Jesus wants us to go before our Holy Father in prayer and ask for everything we need, humbly admitting that only He can provide them. Give us this day our daily bread probably had more immediate importance 2,000 years ago when famine was always a real possibility. It may seem like an odd request to us because we live in the richest nation in history. Most of us, with some exceptions, never worry about where our next meal is coming from. It seems especially odd when many of us actually need less food, not more. But it's still important to pray for God's daily provision, even in America, because that prayer will keep you from thinking that you can provide for your daily needs without God. In other words, it's a bulwark against prideful thinking. Jesus knew that we're prone to that kind of thinking. That's why those words are in the Lord's Prayer, and that's why we should take them seriously. All this really shows how dangerous materialism can be. We should take a hard look at how much we're conforming to disturbing trends in western Christianity. Maybe we really believe that we can sustain our lives all on our own, and that's a reason that many of us are so casual about prayer in general. In addition to a warning about pride, Jesus is also telling us that our Father in heaven wants to give us every good and perfect gift. A few verses later in Matthew 6, He tells His disciples, Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. What that means is that we don't really need to worry about bread or water or money. We need God, and prayer reminds us of that and of God's promise that He'll provide all of those things. In his article about this, David Platt goes on to say that in today's wealthy culture, we should ask God to deliver us from what he calls self-sustaining Christian lives. We must acknowledge daily that we can't sustain ourselves. Of course, with every believer, that begins by admitting that we need Christ as our Savior. But it must extend into all areas of our lives that we need God to sustain us with even our most basic needs. And that's how we can avoid the pride that comes from materialism. No matter how much money we make, how big the house we live in, or how fancy the car we drive, we don't really need those things. We only need God. So when we say those words, Give us this day our daily bread we need to really mean them and thank God for providing it. And one more thing: We can show our thankfulness through generosity. Giving breaks the power that money has over us and demonstrates our faith that God will meet our needs. The economy is sketchy these days. Folks are worried about rising interest rates, inflation and the stock market. But don't let those anxieties cause you to doubt God's promises, and you can do that by praying for your daily bread.. On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: ● How can you help a friend who is injured and unable to work? ● What can you do to deal with credit card debt when you're only able to make the minimum payments? ● How do you determine how to divide money between buying a car and investing in a property? ● What is the best way to invest for the future on behalf of a minor? ● How do you determine if it's ethical to buy a product from an online vendor after a free trial from a local vendor?

The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters by Priya Parker Grace After Meals From To Bless The Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings by John O'Donohue "We end this meal with grace For the joy and nourishment of food, The slowed time away from the world To come into presence with each other And sense the subtle lives behind our faces, The different colors of our voices, The edges of hungers we keep private, The circle of love that unites us. We pray the wise spirit who keeps us To change the structures that make others hunger And that after such grace we might now go forth And impart dignity wherever we partake."

Why should we pray, if God already knows what we need? Listen to this short sermon for three reasons why prayer is relevant, especially in this season of stock taking.
Jon Paul, Senior Pastor
Pray in faith as Jesus taught us to pray.For more sermons, visit www.newcitypalmbay.org
Jesus was in constant communication with His father and prayed for His followers and for those who were still wandering far from God. We can live with an intimate connection with God. As we grow in this spiritual marker, we will find ourselves praying for others.
This sermon was preached on October 9, 2022 at Antioch Presbyterian Church, a mission work of Calvary Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in America located in Woodruff, South Carolina.

My Grandmother's PrayerMy Grandmother's POWERFUL Prayer - Matthew Kelly - 60 Second WisdomGet Matthew's 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribeVideo Transcript:“Throughout the Scriptures we read about God assigning angels to help people make journeys.In Exodus God said to Moses, “Behold, I am sending you an angel to go ahead of you, to guard you along the way, and to bring you to the place I have prepared.”God assigns each of us a Guardian Angel for many reasons including so that we will never be alone in our journey through life.This leads me to one of the most powerful prayers I have ever heard of and experienced. I was preparing for a very difficult meeting one day and my grandmother said to me, “If you want good to come from this meeting, ask your guardian angel to speak to his guardian angel, to open his heart, and prepare the way for your conversation.” It works. I cannot explain it. But it works. So, next time you have a difficult conversation ahead of you, pray asking your guardian angel to speak with the other person's guardian angel.

Praying. It's important. I admire people who are good at it. But I struggle with it... and I've met many people who also struggle with it. In this episode, I reflect on my own struggles with prayer and with lies at the heart praying faithfully. Matthew 7:7-11 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what person is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11 So if you, despite being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

The big, bold, beautiful ministry of Yeshua is put on full display in this portion of Matthew as Yeshua gives His disciples instructions to go into the city, find His ride, and bring it to Him to make His triumphal entrance into Jerusalem. Yeshua's festive entrance became the cause of much celebration for the inhabitants and visitors in Jerusalem at the time. However, the celebration of the people invoked the anger and wrath of the religious community who confronted Yeshua because of the words and phrases the people shouted out. Several prophecies are fulfilled in this passage as Yeshua confronts, condemns, and clears out the merchants who conducted their businesses in the Temple Courts. Yeshua's actions on the scene continued to confuse the leaders of the day and maneuvered individuals to comply with YeHoVaH's plan to bring about the desired end goal of sending Yeshua into the world as the sacrificial lamb for the sins of mankind. Join us in this joyous occasion of Yeshua's entrance into the city of Jerusalem, the exploits performed by Him in the Temple Courts, and the prophetic fulfillments of the prophets spoken hundreds of years prior, in this teaching, Thieves, Robbers and the House of Prayer.

In farming, plowing comes before planting because plowing breaks open the hard ground to receive the seed that is planted. In the same way, prayer must come before outreach and evangelism , because prayer softens hard hearts so they can receive the word of God.
Q. 107 What doth the conclusion of the Lord's Prayer teach us?A. The conclusion of the Lord's Prayer (which is, For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever, Amen) teacheth us to take our encouragement in prayer from God only, and in our prayers to praise Him, ascribing kingdom, power, and glory to Him. And in testimony of our desire and assurance to be heard, we say, Amen.Today we come to the last question in the Westminster Shorter Catechism. In the last part of the Catechism, we have been looking at the means of grace— Most recently, we have been studying about prayer, and in particular looking at the Lord's Prayer where Jesus taught us the things we need to pray for. Today we come to the conclusion of the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:13).
The Lord's prayer is a pattern for prayer that is beneficial for all those in Christ to use. The first three requests have to do with God's glory, and the last three requests are for our good. Our eyes are on God first, and then our eyes are on us. It is the perfect pattern to use in our private and public prayer lives HELPFUL LINKS: Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes.

Pastor Gutierrez continues his sermon series on the Gospel of Matthew, preaching on the Lord’s Prayer.
Matthew 6:5-165 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray then like this:“Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name.10 Your kingdom come,your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.11 Give us this day our daily bread,12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.16 “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

Senior Pastor Damein Schitter continues our series on prayer, preaching on the promise, posture, and practice of prayer from The Sermon on the Mount.
"In Christ teaching us a model of how to pray, we must understand that this is not a prayer that we superstitiously voice. Rather, it's the kind of prayer that should characterize our prayers." This sermon was delivered by Pastor Brandon Freeman on 7/17/2022 at Liberty Baptist Church in Liberty, Missouri. To learn more about us, please visit our website at www.lbcliberty.org.
