Listen to sermon here.
Sermon Outline
BIG IDEA: People who have been forgiven boundlessly, MUST forgive
boundlessly.
Scene #1: A HUGE Debt Forgiven (v.23-27)
Scene #2: A (relatively) Tiny Debt Demanded (vv. 28-30)
Scene #3: Debt Forgiveness Required (vv. 31-35)
- WARNING: If you claim to be a Christ follower and you are unwilling to forgive, then something is not right.
- Unlimited Forgiveness is Required of all (v.35)
- From your heart (v.35)
- Key: Focusing more on what God has done FOR me than on what that person
did TO me, plants my feet on the road to forgiveness.
Key Questions
- Have you thanked God recently for his past and ongoing forgiveness?
- Are you withholding forgiveness from anyone?
- How is the King’s extravagant mercy and forgiveness playing out in your life?
