Matthew 18:21-35Charlie Painter, Executive Director Peter asks Jesus a very direct question about forgiveness. Jesus answers his question, then explains why with a story (a “parable”) of… I – A __________________________________ Master. (21-27) II – A ___________________________ Servant. (28-30) III – A ___________________________ God. (31-35)  Today’s ‘Take-Aways.’ Ask Yourself…1. “What have I been _________________________?”2. “Is there someone I am _________________________?”3. “What is my ____________________ to forgive?” NEXT WEEK: “God’s Blueprint for Marriage” Matthew 19:1-12  Read Matthew 18:21-35 (Questions based on the English Standard Version© (ESV) Bible, 2001)Questions…1. Read verses 21-27. What parallels can be made with the servant and his debt with your life? How has the “Master” forgiven the debts in your life? 2. Read verses 28-30. Why do you think the servant did not “pay it forward” and forgive his fellow servant? Do the sins you commit look different when you see someone else commit them? 3. Read verses 31-35. For unity’s sake, what should be our response when we see unforgiveness in a fellow believer’s life? How do we seek both justice and restoration? GROW… How does not forgiving others hinder our relationship with God? What are we not understanding about the gospel when we do not forgive?GO… How does a spirit of unforgiveness appear to unbelievers? How can it hurt our testimony, and conversely how could radical forgiveness open up an opportunity for us to share the gospel? Charlie preaches from the English Standard Version Bible (ESV) ©2001Pray for each other as you go to Your Worlds this week.
