Episode 73 - Yesterday

To wrap up our season on prayer, we have a mini-series on the Lord’s Prayer that we produced for our Pray Retreat in April. Each episode features a discussion on one phrase from the Lord’s Prayer. In this episode, Brooklyn and Karen unpack the phrase, “and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.,” (Matthew 6:12)

After listening, we encourage you to sit down with a friend and process what you’ve learned. Here are some questions to guide your discussion:

1. Talk through the five “types” of sin. How do you see those at play in your own life?
2. Are you as good a wife, daughter, husband, son, sister, brother, friend, worker, disciple of Jesus as you could/should be?
3. Do you feel sorrow for your sinfulness? How does that affect you?
4. Read Romans 4:2. How do you respond to that?
5. How does living in unforgiveness affect us?
6. Spend some time individually processing and praying. Consider journaling. Ask God to reveal to you anyone you need to forgive. Ask God to reveal any sins in your own life that are keeping you from fellowship and intimacy with Him. Ask God to give you the gift of tears - the ability to be broken over sin.
7. When you have completed your individual reflection and prayer, pray over eachother. After praying, declare over eachother: “In the Name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.”
