  1. Dare to Forgive Myles Bancroft June 29, 2014 Series: Truth or Dare

  2. 10 I appeal to you to show kindness to my child, Onesimus. I became his father in the faith while here in prison. 11 Onesimus hasn’t been of much use to you in the past, but now he is very useful to both of us. 12 I am sending him back to you, and with him comes my own heart. 13 I wanted to keep him… (cont’d) ~~Philemon 1:10-19

  3. …here with me while I am in these chains for preaching the Good News, and he would have helped me on your behalf. 14 But I didn’t want to do anything without your consent. I wanted you to help because you were willing, not because you were forced. 15 It seems you lost… (cont’d) ~~Philemon 1:10-19

  4. …Onesimus for a little while so that you could have him back forever. 16 He is no longer like a slave to you. He is more than a slave, for he is a beloved brother, especially to me. Now he will mean much more to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord. 17 So if you consider… (cont’d) ~~Philemon 1:10-19

  5. …me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me. 19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it. And I won’t mention that you owe me your very soul! ~~Philemon 1:10-19

  6. A Short Story in six Words… For Sale: Baby Shoes Never Used

  7. The Parables of Jesus… ~make up 1/3 of His recorded teachings ~earthly stories to teach Heavenly truths ~two seemingly-conflicting purposes: REVEAL & CONCEAL (Matthew 13:11) ~each make ONE distinctive point

  8. 21 Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” 22 “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven! 23 “Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring… (cont’d) ~~Matthew 18: 21-25

  9. …his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him. 24 In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars [10,000 talents]. 25 He couldn’t pay, so his master ordered that he be sold—along with his wife, his children, and everything he owned—to pay the debt. ~~Matthew 18: 21-25

  10. Currency Exchange 1 Talent - 16 years of Wages @ $44,000 each = $704,000 X 10,000 = $7.04 BILLION

  11. My debt before God is Unrepayable

  12. 26“But the man fell down before his master and begged him, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.’ 27 Then his master was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt. 28 “But when the man left the king, he went to a fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars [100 denarii]. He… (cont’d) ~~Matthew 18: 26-30

  13. …grabbed him by the throat and demanded instant payment. 29 “His fellow servant fell down before him and begged for a little more time. ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it,’ he pleaded. 30 But his creditor wouldn’t wait. He had the man arrested and put in prison until the debt could be paid in full. ~~Matthew 18: 26-30

  14. Crazy Math 26“But the man fell down before his master and begged him, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.’ 27 Then his master was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt. His Debt = $7.04 BILLION

  15. Currency Exchange 1 Talent - 16 years of Wages @ $44,000 each = $704,000 X 10,000 = $7.04 BILLION Absolutely Un-repayable!!! 1 Denarius - 1 day’s wage @ ½ year (100 denarii) = $22,000 (base on US wage index) Not insignificant!

  16. I must forgive because I am forgiven

  17. 31“When some of the other servants saw this, they were very upset. They went to the king and told him everything that had happened. 32Then the king called in the man he had forgiven and said, ‘You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me. (cont’d) ~~Matthew 18: 31-35

  18. 33Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’ 34 Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt. 35 “That’s what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.” ~~Matthew 18: 31-35

  19. Forgiven (Greek) ~To have left behind ~To have forsaken

  20. 9Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.10Your kingdom come, your will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.11Give us this day our daily bread,12and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.13And lead us not into temptation,    but deliver us from evil ~~Matthew 6: 9-13 [ESV]

  21. 12and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. ~~Matthew 6: 9-13 [ESV]

  22. We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind. ~~Isaiah 64: 6

  23. I will be forgiven in the same measure as I forgive others.
