The Lord’s Prayer 101

Preacher:
Passage: Matthew 6:9-13

Matthew 6:9-13 "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil.

Luke 11:2-4 He said to them, "When you pray, say: " 'Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.

Our Father

Luke 10:27 Love your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself”

Ephesians 6:4 Father’s do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Who art in heaven

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Hallowed Be Thy Name

  • Hallowed = pronounce or to render “HOLY”.
  • Hebrew as simply ha-ahem "the Name“
  • Exodus 20:7 “Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain”

Thy Kingdom Come

  • Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Thy Will Be Done On Earth As In Heaven

  • John 14:15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandment”
  • Ephesians 5:22, 25
    Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything as this pleases the Lord
  • Ephesians 6:1 Children obey your parents, for this is right.
  • Ephesians 6:2-3: Honour your father and mother” “that it may go well with you and that you the may live long in land.
  • God is “Sovereign” and in control of everything. And we expect that. A lot of times though, the problem is, God’s answer to our prayers may not be exactly what we expect …

Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread

  • Phillipians 4:19 “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus”

Forgive Us Our Trespasses As We Forgive Those Who Trespass Against Us

  • Matthew 6:14-15 "If you forgive others when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."
  • Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you”
  • Luke 6:37 “Judge not and you will not be judged, condemn not, and you will not be condemned, forgive and you will be forgiven”

Lead Us Not Into Temptation

  • Trial is what God gives us to make us closer to Him. Temptation is what the devil presents to us to get us far from God.
  • Matthew 26:41 “The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”

Deliver Us From Evil

  • Psalms 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
