Forgive us our sins — this week at ELC

September 2, 2016 by john

forgive1We think we know what it means to forgive and be forgiven. Listen anew to God’s invitation and experience the fundamental transformation that comes when forgiveness is truly sought – and granted.

Worship with Holy Communion this week:

Saturday at 5:00 p.m.  in the chapel

Sunday at 8:30 a.m. Traditional Worship

10:00 a.m. Contemporary Worship

Forgive Us Our Sins                                           September 3-4, 2016

SHARE:   What was a high point of your day? What was a low point?

READ: Read the following daily readings to deepen your understanding:

Sunday, Luke 11:2-4, Forgive Us Our Sins

Monday, Exodus 34:1-9, Moses Makes New Tablets

Tuesday, Psalm 32, The Joy of Forgiveness

Wednesday, Mark 2:1-12, Jesus Heals a Paralytic

Thursday, Matthew 18:23-35, The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

Friday, Acts 2:37-42, The First Converts

Saturday, Colossians 2:6-19, Fullness of Life in Christ

What do these texts say about forgiveness?

TALK:  Consider some of these ideas:

 [Jesus said,] “And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us.” Luke 11:4a

  • We think we know what it means to forgive and be forgiven. Listen anew to God’s invitation and experience the fundamental transformation that comes when forgiveness is truly sought – and granted.
  • Why is important for God to forgive us? Why is it important for us to forgive others? What happens when forgiveness is not offered or received?
  • Tell a story of a time you felt the burden lifted when forgiveness was offered.

PRAY: Nothing escapes your notice, O Lord. Teach us what joy there is in releasing others from their debts as we have been so graciously pardoned. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

BLESS:  May God bless you with forgiveness and reconciliation. Amen.
