A Picture Of Prayer 4

Some of the best movies are the ones where, what seem to be random pieces of the story, are brought together at the end for that "a-ha!" moment, that moment of clarification, that moment where it all makes sense. Today Terry looks at Matthew 6:12, part of a series on the Lord's Prayer, "forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors". That Scripture, along with the cross, blood...and a pelican? While the pelican is not actually found in Scripture, we find out how relevant and meaningful the actions of the pelican are to our walk with the Lord. Listen as Terry puts the pieces together for us...."a-ha!"

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.
