  • Praying as Christ Taught Us: Deliver Us From Evil
    Apr 27 2026
    We come once again to the final petition of the Lord’s Prayer, where Jesus teaches us to seek God’s ongoing protection and preservation. In the second half of this petition, we do not find a polite closing line, but a desperate plea. Jesus is teaching us something essential: The Christian life is lived in the middle of a battle. We are not simply asking God to make life easier. We are asking Him to rescue us from a real and active enemy. How do we respond to this petition? How does God answer this prayer?

  • Praying as Christ Taught Us: Lead Us Not into Temptation
    Apr 20 2026
    In this series, we have seen how the Lord’s Prayer shapes every aspect of the Christian life: our worship, our dependence, and our repentance. Now we turn to the final petitions, where Jesus teaches us to seek God’s ongoing protection and preservation. In this next petition, “Lead us not into temptation,” we are reminded that the Christian life is not lived in our own strength, but in daily reliance on the faithfulness of our God. This petition humbles us by exposing our weakness, while at the same time comforting us with the assurance that our heavenly Father is our Keeper, who guards us, strengthens us, and preserves us in the midst of every trial.

  • Praying as Christ Taught Us: Forgive Our Debtors
    Apr 17 2026
    One of the hardest commands in the Christian life is found in the next petition of the Lord’s Prayer: forgive those who sin against us. Not once. Not when it’s easy. Not when the other person deserves it, but again and again and again. In other words, Jesus says we should stop counting. Forgiveness in the kingdom of God is not about keeping score, but about having a transformed heart. To make that clear, Jesus tells a parable that expands the command in the Lord’s Prayer—exposing not just how often we forgive, but whether we truly understand grace at all.
