How to Use Notes

This is a guide in using fill in the blank notes, free notes, and what you can do with them.

First off, sometimes we will have fill in the blank options for you. These will look like this:

If you type something up there that is incorrect, the blue line will turn red, and give you the option to reveal the answer. You can do that or type the correct response and the line will turn green.

Secondly, you can type in whatever notes you want using the icon that looks like the one below this statement on the right.


Whatever you type on that, will stay in your own personal note!

Lastly, you can send yourself your note to your email to save. We recommend you doing this because we will need to update the notes each week.

Blind Spot: Paying it Forward - 10/1/23


Everybody’s got a rap sheet. The only question is whether or not you know what is on yours.

““I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.””
—Matthew 18:19–20, NLT


“Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!”
—Matthew 18:21–22, NLT


““Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him. In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars. 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. “But the man fell down before his master and begged him, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.’ Then his master was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt.”
—Matthew 18:23–27, NLT


““But when the man left the king, he went to a fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars. He grabbed him by the throat and demanded instant payment. “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. But his creditor wouldn’t wait. He had the man arrested and put in prison until the debt could be paid in full.”
—Matthew 18:28–30, NLT


“Then 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. Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’ Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt. “That’s what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.””
—Matthew 18:32–35, NLT


Forgiveness is the expectation of the forgiven.


“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
—Matthew 5:7, TNIV


For those who are forgiven, restoration should matter more than restitution.
