Matthew 6:9

SERMON NOTES

The God we pray to is personal and powerful

 

 

Our Father…

 

…In heaven, hallowed by your name.

 

For reflection: Why do you think Jesus starts the prayer this way?  Which do you find easiest to comprehend in prayer—God’s closeness or His power?  How can you grow in your awareness in prayer of both of these aspects of God?

Your Kingdom Come

Every election asks: What is our best vision for society? As disciples of Jesus, we answer that through our higher calling—prioritizing God’s Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

Our Holy Father

The beginning of the Lord’s Prayer gives us exceptional insight into the character of the God we pray to. He is both personal and powerful, and we need to know both in order to pray rightly.

The Posture of Prayer

Prayer, when motivated properly, is an invitation from God to know Him and His ways. Jesus helps us to keep a proper perspective on prayer and avoid making it about us.

The Posture of Giving

Doing the right thing is important, but even more important is doing the right thing for the right reason. Jesus’s disciples are motivated by God’s glory and the good of others in every area of their lives—including in their giving.

The Joy of Following Jesus

What kind of relationship with Jesus do you want to have? What kind of church do we want to have? One clear mark of genuine discipleship is the joy of Jesus in our lives that motivates us to follow him wholeheartedly.
