The Lord’s Prayer

Kicking off a new series called The Lord’s Prayer, Ben Stuart reminds us what it means to have God as our Father. We were built for proximity to God, and God wants us to be around Him! God, as our Father, shows us that He is strong, loving, and wise towards His children.

Jesus said the reason he came was to announce that the Kingdom is here, and he called us to pray “Your Kingdom come.” Why was this so important to him? What does it mean for how we deal with our hopes and disappointments? Continuing the Lord’s Prayer series, Mike Distefano teaches us about the Kingdom of God, and what it means to pray “Your Kingdom come.”

“We are in a fight, but we have a Father.” This week we continue the Lord’s Prayer series with a powerful word from Brad Jones about temptation. When we pray, “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil,” we are declaring, “I can’t, but I know that You can. I am unable, but You are able.” In the struggles and challenges of life, you have a Heavenly Father who wants to help you!

We live in a culture where un-forgiveness is common. Ben Stuart closes out the Lord’s Prayer series by challenging us with the truth that we can’t grip the gospel of grace but hold on to resentment at the same time. When we understand Christ’s forgiveness of us, that allows us to forgive others. The cross comforts us in the justice of God, and compels us in His love!
