And Forgive Us Our Trespasses
Which is the best translation of the Lord’s Prayer – debts, sins, or trespasses? In this sermon, we explore the surprising answer and unpack the deeper meaning of Jesus’ words: a call to forgive others as freely as we’ve been forgiven. This isn’t just a prayer – it’s a challenge to live out radical forgiveness in every part of our lives.
Scripture References: Matthew 6:7-12

Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to call God our Father, seek his kingdom and will on earth, and ask for daily bread, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil. Whether these words are familiar or new to you, this series will deepen your understanding and renew your connection to this cornerstone of Christian faith.
