The kingdom of God is built with perfectly hewn stones fitting perfectly together crafted by God. And we are the stones. What does this have to do with The Lord's Prayer? The answer is... Everything!

The devil is real, and he's at work. Waiting for just the right moment to attack. He is patient, motivated, personal, and he seeks to devour you. The Lord's Prayer shows us that this life is a battle, and this prayer is how we prepare for that battle!

Jesus teaches us to pray. And He teaches us about ourselves.

Forgiveness is hard. But Jesus' teaching on forgiveness is even harder. Jesus challenges our ideas about forgiveness in these passages, but the question you have to answer is "Is hanging onto that grudge worth your relationship with God"?

The Bread Makes All The Difference

What does it mean to pray for God's kingdom to come in the Lord's Prayer? The kingdom of God can be something mysterious to us, yet Jesus puts it at the very front of our prayer. When we see the gospel in light of the kingdom, it reveals how Jesus was teaching us to pray for the power of the gospel to be at work in our lives, especially when life gets hard and we struggle to know what to pray.

Prayer is the means of leading us into communion and closeness to God. But sometimes the more we pray the more distant we feel from Him. How can prayer make us feel so close and so far from God at the same time? What really is the purpose of prayer? We search deeper into The Lord's Prayer this week in search for the answers!

Where is God? Is God dead? No, He is surely with us. And He is redeeming our world. We continue our Lord's Prayer sermon series and take a deep dive into the first section of the Lord's prayer. "Our Father who art in Heaven"

Prayer is not something we do naturally. It’s difficult to make a regular part of our lives and we often struggle to feel like it does anything. Even the disciples wondered about prayer and asked Jesus to teach them to pray. So at least we know the disciples weren’t chosen because of their amazing prayer life.
