The first one is “forgive us our sins.” We must confess our sins to God. (Either open and read the note yourself, or have a student do so.) It says, “and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.” There are two parts of this petition, or special request to God. Give us today the food we need.” Great job memorizing, everyone! Now let’s open the special letter from God. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. “Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. Before we find out what it is, let’s repeat all the parts of the Lord’s Prayer we have memorized so far. Today we are learning a very important part of the Lord’s Prayer. Do other challenges as well, such as “How many times can you kick a hacky sack in the air without it touching the ground? How many times can you tap a balloon with your hands to keep it in the air? How many times in a row can you land a ping pong ball in a cup?” Continue with the challenges for about ten minutes, or until the kids have most of their wiggles out. “Does anyone think they can do 490 jumping jacks?” Do jumping jacks together, counting how many you do. Ask the kids, “how many jumping jacks can you do?” Have them answer. How Many? The purpose of this game is to help demonstrate how much seventy times seven is. Is there someone you need to forgive? Take time to pray to God and forgive them in your own heart.

In order for this to happen, we must forgive those who hurt us, even if they never apologize or realize their wrongdoing. He desires right fellowship among his people. It’s so much easier to just ignore them, to drive a wedge in my relationships with others just to “keep the peace.” But this is not God’s desire. Matthew 6:14 makes it clear that in order to receive forgiveness for our own wrongdoing, we must forgive others. We never think about God’s forgiveness as being conditional. Take time to meditate on this week’s Scripture and think about your own life.Make sure it takes up the whole page, so it can easily be read. Write “and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.” (Matthew 6:12, NLT) on a regular sheet of paper.See craft for more information) paint and brushes, permanent markers, stickers.

Main idea: We forgive other people for the things they do that hurt us because God forgives us when we sin. You can find the other lessons in the 10 part Bible study by clicking here.
