Episode Forgive Us Our Debts: Sermon by Pastor Colin McCartney
What does it really mean to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors”?
Pastor Colin continues the series on The Lord’s Prayer with one of its hardest lines. Why does Matthew describe sin as a debt—and what happens when we carry a ledger of everyone who owes us? Setting denial and retribution against the way of forgiveness, he walks through practical steps to forgive: starting from God’s forgiveness for us, naming the sin, confronting it with grace, separating forgiveness from repentance, and letting go.
