Scripture & Questions for Sunday (8/28/16)

Scripture for Sunday
Matthew 6:9-15 (ESV)  
    Pray then like this:
    "Our Father in heaven,
        hallowed be your name.
        [10] Your kingdom come,
        your will be done,
            on earth as it is in heaven.
        [11] Give us this day our daily bread,
        [12] and forgive us our debts,
            as we also have forgiven our debtors.
        [13] And lead us not into temptation,
            but deliver us from evil.
 [14] For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,
 [15] but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Questions for Reflection

3. What should be our attitude toward those who have wronged us? (6:12)
4. If God knows what we need before we ask, why should we pray?
5. What sins or offenses by others do we find especially difficult to forgive?
