Beggars at the Gate

We discuss the third petition in the Lord's Prayer, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We discuss topics like what is the Lord's will and what we mean when we ask that God do his own will.

We discuss the second petition in the Lord's prayer as we make our way through the prayer Jesus taught his disciples. What is God's kingdom and what is it we're praying when we pray that God's kingdom would come. We discuss our understanding of the Reformed Two Kingdom view (and attempt to define it) and how this guides prayer and life in this world as believers.

Ben and Darren talk through the first petition of the Lord's Prayer as they continue their series through this model prayer Jesus taught us. What does it mean for us to pray that God's name would be hallowed?

We continue our series on prayer by looking at the preface to the Lord's Prayer. Why do we address God as our Father? Is it important that we understand he's in heaven? What does it look like to pray together? 

When we pray, how do we know what we should pray for? Not only should we lift up our heart's desire, we're commanded to do so. We're also called to pray according to God's will, which is revealed in his word. We talk about these as well as whether or not prayer changes God and other topics.

We begin a series on prayer by looking at what prayer is and how the gospel should inform our prayer life. Why is thanksgiving important? Why pray if God is sovereign? These questions and more in today's episode.

In today's episode we talk about what it looks like to be a Christian in the modern workplace. How should Christians be thought of, how do you share the gospel with others when you might only have a few minutes, and how do we respond biblically to gender identity issues? 

When we sit under the preaching of the word, how should we listen to it? What should go through our minds? We discuss this as well as preparation beforehand and discussion afterward.

Have you ever wondered how we select songs and passages for Sunday or pick our next books to preach through? Or perhaps you've wondered why we do liturgy the way we do. We discuss what our liturgy is, how we select songs, and what it looks like for us to pick books of the Bible to preach through.

We all want to be the one who has it all together, but none of us do. In fact, we're more broken than we even know. And that's ok. What do we mean by that? What do we not mean by that? Listen in as we discuss our need for grace and how we can find it in Christ and his church from a pastoral perspective.
