Scripture: Luke 11:1-4 & 1 Chronicles 29:11

Series: Teach Us to Pray 

We have reached the end of the Lord's Prayer and the end of this message series. After all of this, is the Lord's Prayer worth more than the thirty or forty seconds it takes us to pray it during worship? How does this last phrase help us express a feeling of gratitude and praise we feel in the depth of our souls? Let's explore this together!

Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13

Series: "Teach Us to Pray"

Perhaps the most counter-intuitive line in the Lord's Prayer comes as Jesus gives us the words, "Lead us not into temptation." Is there a chance that God would lead us into temptation? Is God setting us up to fail? No. God is giving us the opportunity to know what life can be like (and how life can be better) when we let God lead us.

Welcome to the Cut for Time Podcast! This Sunday's message was all about God providing for our physical and spiritual needs as we talked about "daily bread." There are ways that God provides that literally but also metaphorically. Pastor Clay and Eric discuss some of the ways they have noticed God's provision.

Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13 & John 6:32-35

Series: Teach Us To Pray

As we continue our series on the Lord's Prayer, we turn our attention to the way that God cares for our whole person: body, mind, soul, and spirit. It's been a part of how God has operated since the dawn of humanity and continues to this very day. In praying this phrase whole-heartedly, we proclaim our trust in God's provision!

Pastor Clay and Eric sat down to talk about Sunday's message about the Lord's Prayer and the very nature of prayer in general. If God knows what we need, why do we pray? And what does it mean for us to work for God's kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven? Dig into these questions and more with Pastor Clay and Eric in this week's episode.

Scripture: Matthew 6:5-13

Series: Teach Us to Pray

As we discussed briefly last week, all of the times we say "Thy" or "Your" in the Lord's Prayer stand against the idea of "my." That is especially impactful when it comes to our focus for today, "Thy kingdom come; thy will be done." We have a will and a kingdom, but what does it mean to pray for God's kingdom and God's will above our own? Let's explore that today!

Scripture: Luke 11-19, GNT

Series: Teach Us to Pray

As we begin this new message series unlocking the power of the Lord's Prayer, we begin by laying the foundations of the importance of prayer and why Jesus gave the disciples a prayer to say in the first place. The first thing Jesus teaches the disciples to pray is to uphold the holiness of God's name and to place God's name above our own name.

How can you hallow God's name today?
