We struggle to make the Lord’s Prayer a regular part of our prayer life because it can become a religious ritual or old habit for us. But when we pray this prayer regularly it has the power to attune us to the heart and will of God and empower us in his mission in bringing his kingdom to earth.

Jesus teaches us to pray for forgiveness of our debt to God, not the ability to repay the debt. God generously forgives us because of His commitment to us, and that forgiveness is more than giving a clean slate; it’s a restored relationship that transforms us into generous forgivers ourselves.

Through this prayer (“give us this day our daily bread”) Jesus is teaching us that a life of dependence on God will free us from worrying about the future, and allow us to be content, caring, and courageous.

Heaven invades earth when we align our will with God’s will and this can only happen when we pray as Jesus taught us to pray and surrender fully to Him. Speaker: Pastor Peter Cho

Jesus teaches us how to see and commune God as a loving Father and Sovereign King, who will make His own name exalted and honored. Speaker: Pastor Lester Cruzat

The “good news” of the gospel is not only that Jesus came to die on the cross for our sins, but that a good, powerful and wise King has come and if we repent and submit to his reign and follow him, we will bring his power and his presence (heaven) into this broken world (earth) until he returns and restores all things. Speakers: Pastor Peter & Kimberly Cho

As children of God we ought to reflect the same love that God has for all people–even our enemies.

Jesus calls his disciples to break cycles of violence and retribution with a posture of mercy and forgiveness when wronged.

Jesus teaches his disciples important lessons on prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.
