A Picture of Prayer 2

In digging deeper into The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6) we come across the passage "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven (verse 9-10). This prayer, this phrase has been spoken by centuries of Christians, a pretty awesome thought. And over those centuries, the meaning of what is Jesus' focus for us has changed. It's not all about us! What?? Listen as Terry connects this particular phrase of The Lord's Prayer with the parables of the kingdom in Matthew 13 as we see the true focus and meaning of this phrase by our Savior.

Series Information

The Lord's Prayer is not a rote recitation towards apathy and boredom. What we call the Lord's Prayer, prayed by Jesus when His disciples asked Him how to pray, is rich with depth and meaning, while at the same time simple in its mission and purpose. Using pictures and symbols from the time Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount, coupled with the early days of the church, Terry offers a perspective of our praying, and this prayer, that fires the imagination.
