Applying These Truths to Your Marriage:

Week 2 - Forgiveness For further reflection & Home Church discussion: And the Spirit makes it possible to submit humbly to one another out of respect for the Anointed. ~ Ephesians 5:21 (VOICE) Jesus: This is what you do if one of your brothers or sisters sins against you: go to him, in private, and tell him just what you perceive the wrong to be. If he listens to you, you’ve won a brother. ~ Matthew 18:15 (VOICE) If you forgive people when they sin against you, then your Father will forgive you when you sin against Him and when you sin against your neighbor. But if you do not forgive your neighbors’ sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. ~ Matthew 6:14-15 (VOICE) The Pope’s Big 3 (YouTube Search – Pope’s Valentine Day Address): 1. 2. 3.

What the Bible Says About Forgiveness: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

1. Get people tracking from Sunday. What stood out to you most? 2. No relationship can survive without grace. Would you describe yourself as a “forgiving person?” What did you learn about (good or bad) forgiveness as a kid? 3. Asking for forgiveness or saying “I forgive you” is difficult. Do you do these things in your current relationship? Why or why not? 4. Read Matthew 6:14-15. This is a tough statement of Jesus. What do you think of it and how do you process what He says here? 5. Read Matthew 18:15. Do you go directly to your significant other when he/she hurts you or complain to a friend first? 6. Spend time praying together or in Huddles.
