Sermon Series for July & August Series on Lord’s Prayer: June and July 2016

Rev. Jody Moore: OBPC

July 3: Luke 11:3, Mathew 6:25-34, and John 6:35, 47-51. “Give us this day our daily bread. . .” Jesus shows us how we can and should ask God to provide what we need. He invites us to pray not only to have my daily needs met, but for each of us to be fed, which calls us to fight for others who are hungry. In John, we also see that Jesus is the bread of heaven and he offers us eternal spiritual food that will never perish. July 17: Matthew 6:9-15 and 18:21-22. “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. . .” First of all, we need to acknowledge before God and one another how we have sinned and are in need of God’s grace. Once we have received that grace, we are called to forgive those who have sinned against us. Over and over again throughout the Bible, Jesus calls on us to be merciful, not hold onto grudges, and forgive one another when we are wronged. July 24: Matthew 6:9-13 and James 1:12-16. “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. . .” The Lord’s Prayer acknowledges that temptation is a part of life and that each one of us must battle against evil. We daily need to depend on God to give us strength when temptations come our way. July 31: Revelation 1:4-8 and Luke 11:1-13. “For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.” The Lord’s Prayer ends with a statement of trust, that God is in control of all things and has the power to accomplish the divine plan. After we have offered our hopes to God, we acknowledge our faith in God’s providence and graciousness. What does it mean for us to trust in God’s eternal plans? August 7: Psalm 41. Often in life, we get distracted, lose focus, and forget that we belong to God. The psalmist encourages us to find our home and encouragement in the Lord. God is our constant source of protection, sustenance, and hope, no matter what we are facing. August 14: Luke 10:25-37. Through the familiar parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus teaches us about what it means to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. The parable invites us to consider: Who is our neighbor? What does it mean to love others in our daily lives? August 21: Galatians 3:23-29. Throughout The Bible, God reveals the fact that we all have dignity because we are create
