Meeting at BILLTOWN (upstairs choir room) THIS THURSDAY for SOURCE 7:30-8:30pm

I hope everyone gets this message so that no one misses out on our group discussion this week. Pastor Bob Rodgers has asked that the drama "The Glory and the Fire" go on through Thursday of this week because of the wonderful harvest of souls at the altars. Therefore, we will continue with our group discussion at Billtown for this week only....meeting in the choir room upstairs above the platform (use stairs near the prayer chapel in the back).

Bait of Satan study for June 11:

The Unforgiving Servant

read pages 126-132 and pages 232-233

Matt. 18:21-22 "Then Peter came to Him and said, 'Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?' Jesus said to him, 'I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."

God's unlimited forgiveness is the basis for the way we are to forgive others.

What is the main point of the parable in our scripture reading?___________

What is God saying to you through this parable?________________

Try comparing the offenses we hold against each other with the offenses against God. We can release others unconditionally if we realize that Jesus delivered us from eternal death and torment.

Rank these offenses that are the most difficult (1) to the least difficult(7) for you to forgive:

_____Gossip against me

_____Someone physically or emotionally abusing me

_____Someone physically or emotionally abusing someone I love

_____Someone lying to me

_____someone stealing from me

_____someone manipulating me

_____ Other offenses important to you

A person who cannot forgive has forgotten how great a debt God has forgiven them.

Let's pray together:

"God, help me to remove the blockage in my heart that has been caused by unforgiveness. I specifically pray now the the individuals whose offenses caused this blockage. AMEN"

God desires that we get past this and move on to bigger and better things in Him. Let's just decide to let it go and let God bless their lives. We can do this together.

Praying for you,

Becky
