August-September-October Sermon Series: "The Lord’s Prayer: God Our Father"
Our next sermon series is on the prayer of all prayers – the prayer of Jesus – The Lord’s Prayer under the theme of God Our Father.
The Lord’s Prayer is the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples when they asked Him how they should pray. Most Christians know the prayer by heart in their own language, and it is used today by every Christian tradition. The Lord’s Prayer is the prayer which teaches people to pray.
Martin Luther considered the Lord’s Prayer the very best of all prayers. In An Exposition of the Lord’s Prayer for Simple Laymen (1519), he wrote: “Since our Lord is the author of this prayer, it is without a doubt the most sublime, the loftiest, and the most excellent. If he, the good and faithful Teacher, had known a better one, he would surely have taught us that too.”
Our Bible Study will take a closer look at each of the petitions of The Lord’s Prayers beginning September 6. The Bible class meets after the Sunday worship service (11-Noon).
