September 15, 2024 • Bo Noonan • Matthew 6:5–13, James 1:13, Matthew 4:1, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Matthew 7:11
Bo Noonan teaches through the last line in the Lord's prayer: lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. In the Lord's prayer we learn to believe what Jesus believed and to pray as he prayed, and he ends his prayer in a somewhat surprising way. From this ending, we can see that his desire for his people is that we are delivered from Satan and his ways and that we find fulness of life in our Father in heaven and his ways.

The Lord's Prayer: Hallowed be your Name
August 4, 2024 • Waymond Hampton • John 5:19, Philippians 2:5–8, Matthew 6:9–13, Exodus 3:4, Exodus 3:14–15
Waymond Hampton teaches through "hallowed be your name" in our series on the Lord's Prayer. He starts with the story of God revealing his name to his people at the Exodus, and paints of picture of how "hallowed be your name" is a call to come under the beautiful authority of "our Father in heaven". Just as Jesus submitted to his Father's will in all things, we are called to submit as well - by not allowing any other name to be hallowed in our lives and by laying down divisions and partisanship for the sake of others.
The Lord's Prayer: Our Father
July 28, 2024 • Abi Sovereign • Matthew 6:9–15, Exodus 4:22–23, John 1:18, Ephesians 2:4–8, Romans 8:14–17
Abi Sovereign teaches on the first two words of the Lord's Prayer: Our Father. Encapsulated in these two words is the truth of Jesus' good news - the fact that our relationship with the God of the Universe has come to bring restored relationship between him and his creation! From Jesus, we find what it is to live in this restored relationship and to be daughters and son of our Father in heaven, both now and forever.
The Lord's Prayer: How Not to Pray
July 21, 2024 • Bo Noonan • Matthew 6:5–8, Luke 11:1, Colossians 3:23–24
Bo Noonan kicks off our new series on Jesus prayer from Matthew 6 by looking at a few other verses from the same chapter. Specifically, verses 5-8 where Jesus talks about how NOT to pray. Prayer is a key way we conform our hearts into the image of Jesus' heart. It is a relational practice with our Father by which we are spiritually formed. How? By practicing our position as daughters and sons who are welcomed into the presence of our Father.
