Lesson 1: we must not cause others to sin.

- Is this amazingly difficult to do?
Lesson 2 – help others when they sin
- If a Christian repents (accepts they were wrong and turns back to God) what should we do?
- Is this easy?
Lesson 3 – we must forgive others when they repent
Prayer – Thank Jesus that he never causes us to sin, gently rebukes us when we sin and forgives us when we repent.

Read Luke 17:5-10

Orbit 26.3 – Are you good at saying thank you?
Read Luke 17:11-19
- Who does Jesus meet and what do they want?
