The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin

against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do

not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. 23 Therefore

the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts

with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was

brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But as he was not able

to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and

all that he had, and that payment be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down

before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you

all.’ 27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released

him, and forgave him the debt. 28 “But that servant went out and found one of

his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him

and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ 29 So his fellow

servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me,

and I will pay you all.’ 30 And he would not, but went and threw him into

prison till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellow servants saw what had

been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had

been done. 32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You

wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Should

you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on

you?’ 34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he

should pay all that was due to him. 35 “So My Heavenly Father also will do to

you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”

SCRIPTURE Matthew 18:21-35 (NKJV)

CONGREGATION: Thanks Be Unto God

CHURCH COVENANT LEADER: Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God to receive the LORD Jesus Christ as our Savior; and on the profession of our faith we do now in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully renew this covenant with one another as one body in Christ. CONG: We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge and holiness; to give it a place in our affections, prayers and services above every other organization of human origin. LEADER: To contribute cheerfully and regularly as God has prospered us, toward the support of the ministry, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world. CONG: We also engage to maintain family and secret devotion; to study the word of God; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintance. LEADER: To walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our service. CONG: We further engage to watch over, to pray for, to exhort each other unto every good word and work; to guard each other’s reputation, not needlessly exposing the infirmities of others; to participate in each other’s joys, bear one another’s sorrows; and to cultivate Christian courtesy; LEADER: To be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, being mindful of the rules of the Savior to secure it without delay. ALL: When we remove from this place, we engage as soon as possible to unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s word.

Battle Hymn of the Republic

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord, He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the

fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword His truth is marching on.

Chorus

Glory! glory, hallelujah! Glory! glory, hallelujah! Glory! glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps, They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His

righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps His day is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound retreat, He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat; O be swift, my soul,

to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that

transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,

While God is marching on.

Every Christian should strive to learn how to be a cheerful giver. When we give what does it actually mean? It simply means we cheerfully give back to God our tithes and offerings.
