Matthew 6:13 This morning we come to the last petition, the last request of the Lord’s Prayer. We have asked for the name of Our Father to be seen as holy by all the earth, for His kingdom to come and live within us and for His will to be accomplished through us. We have...

Matthew 6:12 “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.”  Last week we concentrated on what I count to be the fifth petition of “the Lord’s Prayer”, “forgive us our debts”. Forgiveness may be our greatest need. Romans 3:22-23 teaches us, “For there is no difference; for all have sinned and come short...

Matthew 6:12 “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.”  As children approaching their Father we ask for the entire world to know the greatness and glory of His name. We pray for the embodiment of His kingdom to come and live within us in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and for...

Matthew 6:11 For more than a month we have been studying the Lord’s Prayer in the midst of the Sermon on the Mount. The entire sermon is a revelation of the kingdom of God; its focus is on what it means to have righteousness that surpasses that of the scribes and the Pharisees, a righteousness...

Matthew 6:10 Three weeks ago we defined the kingdom of God within the children of God as the baptism of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus told the apostles and disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the “Promise of the Father”, He was preparing them to be “endued with power” to become witnesses, to receive the...

Yesterday our prayer pastor, Geannine LeBude, was our speaker. Below is an introduction to her sermon… John 11 I want to explore the way we look at Jesus and what conclusions we come to after we have gazed upon Him. The definition of gaze is to look steadily, intently, and with fixed attention. When you...

 Matthew 6:10 When we got to the section of the Lord’s Prayer in the Sermon on the Mount I was not sure how I was supposed to handle it but I wanted to be careful with it. I believe that some of the most important truth of Scripture are things that most of us believe...

Matthew 6:9  In this passage Jesus is teaching us how to pray. As we discussed a few weeks ago, in the Sermon on the Mount He says “In this manner . . . pray”, or basically, “pray this way”. When He was asked by one of His disciples, “teach us to pray”, Jesus repeated basically...

Matthew 5:20  This morning we will complete a full year of studying the Sermon on the Mount with the reality that we probably have a full year of study left. Rather than simply plowing through I thought that today, the last Sunday of the year, would be a good time for us to reflect on...

Matthew 6:9-13 Is there a prayer that has been more prayed than this one? The sad truth about the Lord’s Prayer is that it has probably been often repeated but rarely prayed. Both St. Augustine and Martin Luther said that nothing was more important in the Bible than the Lord’s Prayer.  Unfortunately in our culture...
