Week 1, Saturday

This Sunday will be week two of our focus on the Lord’s Prayer.  We hope that you’ve found meaning in the short daily devotionals and prayer focus’ that we shared together.  This Sunday we’ll examine the next line of the prayer, “Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.”  That’s how we pray it at Community.  Our siblings at Park Hill Christian Church say, “Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our sins and we forgive those who sin against us.”  Why the difference?  Does it matter?  What are we to do with the differences?  Might you swap the language to see how it feels to your spirit or how it changes the prayer for you?


Prayer Focus: Read our scripture for Sunday’s worship - Matthew 18.15-22.  How does this story impact how you pray the prayer?  What questions does it raise for you?
