This sermon explores the first petition of the Lord's Prayer, "Hallowed be your name," arguing that it serves as the foundational lens through which all other requests must be viewed. Drawing on Martin Luther's teachings and Thomas Watson's exposition, the message defines God's name as His essential being and character, emphasizing that to hallow His name is to set it apart from common use to sacred ends. Pastor Jason outlines three practical ways believers hallow God's name: through praise in worship, proclamation of His excellencies, and holy practice in daily life. By contrasting the perfect worship of heaven with the imperfect worship of earth, the sermon calls for a reverent approach to prayer that prioritizes God's glory over personal needs. Ultimately, the message offers comfort in the assurance that God is actively working to vindicate His holy name through the work of Jesus Christ, encouraging believers to align their hearts with this divine purpose.

Apostle John, after pointing to the necessity of hope of seeing Christ motivate a life of active purity (3). Like Thomas Watson asserted. Who that "Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet," John reminds the believers, that though society might redefine what sin is, Christians should have a clear biblical definition of sin (4). In using biblical vocabularies define sin: as transgression against the law of God, as missing the mark of God's holy standards, as iniquity, as trespass but also, sin is unrighteousness (I Jn. 5v17). "If all unrighteousness is sin" this means that every thought, motive, word, action, or omission that falls short of God's holy character, God's righteous law, God's revealed will, and God's command to love others is sin before Him. Thus, when others dare to dilute and downplay the seriousness of sin, Christians must know the reality of sin, from which they (we) are saved.

This sermon addresses the normative struggle believers face between their flesh and the Spirit, defining hypocrisy as the gap between profession and practice. Drawing on the teachings of Thomas Watson and Scripture, the message outlines a six-step process for transforming areas of hypocrisy into sincerity: identification, confession, conversation, consecration, amputation, and appropriation. The speaker emphasizes the necessity of using biblical language to identify sin, owning it through confession, and engaging in relational dialogue with God. Furthermore, it calls for a dedicated consecration of the mind and heart, the radical amputation of sinful habits, and the appropriation of Christ's power for sanctification. The tone is pastoral and convicting, urging the congregation to pursue a life of integrity where the heart aligns with the lips.
