CONFESSION


Heavenly Father, we have sinned against you and

against our neighbour in thought and word and deed,through negligence, through weakness, through our own

deliberate fault;

16


by what we have done and by what we have failed to do.

We are truly sorry and repent of all our sins.

17


For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ who died for us, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may serve you

in newness of life to the glory of your name. Amen.

18


Almighty God, who forgives all who truly repent, have mercy on us,

pardon and deliver us from all our sins,

confirm and strengthen us in all goodness,

and keep us in eternal life;through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

19


THE COLLECT13th Sunday after

Almighty God, who called your Church to bear witness that you were in Christ reconciling the world to yourself:Help us to proclaim the good news of your love, that all who hear it may be drawn to you;through him who was lifted up on the cross,and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,one God, now and for ever. Amen.


READINGMatt 18:10-14

(NIV)


21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?’22 Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

23


23 ‘Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

24


26 ‘At this the servant fell on his knees before him. “Be patient with me,” he begged, “and I will pay back everything.” 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, cancelled the debt and let him go.28 ‘But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.

25


He grabbed him and began to choke him. “Pay back what you owe me!” he demanded.29 ‘His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, “Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.”30 ‘But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.

26


31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.32 ‘Then the master called the servant in. “You wicked servant,” he said, “I cancelled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.

27


33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?” 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.35 ‘This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.’

Introduction

Researchers found that mentally nursing a grudge …the same

strains as a major stressful event.

Human behaviour suggests that people are “hard-wired” to

retaliate.

What does the Bible teach?41


1. GRACE DISPLAYED‘Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is

like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. Matt 18:23-24

• Over 200,000 years work• Impossible to pay back

42


1. GRACE DISPLAYED26 ‘At this the servant fell on his knees

before him. “Be patient with me,” he begged, “and I will pay back everything.” 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, cancelled the debt and let him go. Matt 18:26-27

• Debt cancelled• Costly for the king

43


2. GRACE DENIED‘But when that servant went out, he

found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. “Pay back what you owe me!” he demanded. Matt 18:28

• Small debt – wages for 100 days• ‘began to choke him’

44


2. GRACE DENIED‘But he refused. Instead, he went off

and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.

Matt 18:30

• No mercy shown• Debt remained• Other servants – outraged!

45


3. GRACE DISMISSEDtold their master everything that had

happened. 32 ‘Then the master called the servant in. “You wicked servant,” he said, “I cancelled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.

Matt 18:31-32

• ‘wicked’• Reminds him of GRACE shown

46


3. GRACE DISMISSED33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on

your fellow servant just as I had on you?” 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

Matt 18:33-34

• ‘just as I had’• Debt restored

47


Conclusion

48

‘This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive

your brother or sister from your heart.’ Matt 18:35

DENY GRACE TO OTHERS,

DENY GRACE TO YOURSELF!


‘Spirit of God’

Church HymnalNo. 386

CCL:


Spirit of God, unseen as the wind,gentle as is the dove;

teach us the truth and help us believe,

show us the Saviour's love.

50


1 You spoke to us long, long ago,gave us the written word;

we read it still, needing its truth,through it God's voice is heard.

51





52


2 Without your help we fail our Lord,we cannot live his way;

we need your power, we need your strength,

following Christ each day.

53





Margaret Old (b.1932)based on Acts 2: 2

‘How deep the Father’s love for

us’

Church HymnalNo. 224

CCL:


1 How deep the Father’s love for us,how vast beyond all measure,

that he should give his only Sonto make a wretch his treasure!

How great the pain of searing loss:the Father turns his face away

as wounds which mar the chosen one

bring many sons to glory!

56


2 Behold the man upon a cross,my sin upon his shoulders;

ashamed, I hear my mocking voicecall out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held him thereuntil it was accomplished;

his dying breath has brought me life –

I know that it is finished.

57


3 I will not boast in anything,no gifts, no power, no wisdom;but I will boast in Jesus Christ,

his death and resurrection.Why should I gain from his

reward?I cannot give an answer;

but this I know with all my heart,his wounds have paid my ransom.

Stuart Townend

COLLECTION

‘I will sing the wondrous story’

Mission PraiseNo. 315

CCL:


1 I will sing the wondrous storyof the Christ who died for me,how He left the realms of glory

for the cross on Calvary.Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous storyof the Christ who died for me, -sing it with His saints in glory,gathered by the crystal sea.

66


2 I was lost: but Jesus found me,found the sheep that went astray,raised me up and gently led me

back into the narrow way.Days of darkness still may meet

me,sorrow’s path I oft may tread;

but His presence still is with me,by His guiding hand I’m led.

67


3 He will keep me till the riverrolls its waters at my feet:

then He’ll bear me safely over,Made by grace for glory meet.

Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous storyof the Christ who died for me, -sing it with His saints in glory,gathered by the crystal sea.

Francis H. Rawley (1854–1952).

May our lives and gifts enrich the life of your world.

Be with us Lord, as we go out into the world. May the lips that have sung your praise always speak

the truth;

72

as our worship be always pleasing in your sight, for the

glory of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
