“Revisiting the Lord's Prayer“
Matthew 6:5-15, NKJV
Rev. John Donaldson
“In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
-Revelation 14:13
-Revelation 14:13
Some things are just part of the rhythm of worship, so common that it is easy to take them for granted. The Lord’s Prayer is like this. It takes about 30 seconds for us to read it together. But when we stop and think about what we are saying together, we realize that this prayer taught by Jesus is incredibly powerful. It speaks to us about our relationship to God, our priorities, our needs, and the dangerous world we live in. Join us in worship this week as we take a closer look at the one prayer we all know by heart.
See you Sunday,
Pastor John
