Pastor Matt concluded his series on the Lord's Prayer by examining the textual history of Matthew 6:13b ("For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen"), which appears as a footnote in many modern translations. He explained the process of Biblical transmission from original manuscripts to modern translations, noting that the Bible's reliability remains uncompromised despite textual variations. Pastor Matt demonstrated that while Matthew 6:13b may not have been in the original manuscripts, it functions as a fitting doxology that accurately reflects Biblical truths found throughout Scripture, particularly echoing King David's prayer in 1 Chronicles 29:11.

The sermon also analyzed the structure of the Lord's Prayer, showing how it begins and ends with God's glory while addressing man's needs in between. Pastor Matt emphasized that this model prayer covers our past (forgiveness), present (daily bread), and future (deliverance from temptation) while teaching us to approach God with both intimacy and reverence. He concluded by encouraging listeners to use the Lord's Prayer as a mirror for spiritual self-examination rather than a source of discouragement, inviting them to yield their lives to Christ.

In this sermon, Pastor Jeremy continues his series on the Lord's Prayer by examining the line "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." He addresses the apparent contradiction between this prayer and James 1:13, which states God tempts no one. Pastor Jeremy explains that the Greek word "pismon" is neutral, meaning both temptation and trials/testing, and appears throughout Scripture with both translations.

Pastor Jeremy emphasizes that temptations come from our own desires, not from God, though God allows us to walk through trials for our growth. When facing these tests, we should respond by considering it joy (James 1:2), recognizing God is developing our endurance and character. He assures us that God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can handle (1 Corinthians 10:13) and provides ways of escape. To combat the evil one during these times, Pastor Jeremy encourages us to pray for God's help and rely on Scripture as our defense, following Jesus's example of ultimately surrendering with "not my will but yours be done."

Jacob Willebeek-LaMair examines the forgiveness portion of the Lord's Prayer, explaining why Jesus specifically emphasized "forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." He clarifies that sin creates not a financial debt but a justice debt before God—a debt so massive that we could never repay it ourselves. Using Romans 6:23, Jacob illustrates how sin leads to death, but God offers the gift of eternal life through Christ.

The sermon's central message is that Jesus explicitly teaches we are forgiven to the extent that we forgive others. Jacob references Matthew 18:21-35, where Jesus tells the parable of the unforgiving servant who was forgiven an enormous debt but refused to forgive a much smaller one. Jacob shares his personal journey of forgiving someone who bullied him in middle school, offering practical advice for forgiveness: be understanding of others' brokenness, don't dwell on others' sins, put others' interests above your own, and trust God with justice.

Jake Myers examines the line "Give us this day our daily bread" from Matthew 6:11, using the famous "Grace" photograph as a visual representation of the humility and dependence we should have before God. Myers breaks down the verse into three components: "Give us" reminds us God is our source and we approach Him in humility; "this day" teaches us to trust God for daily provision rather than storing up to avoid dependence; and "our daily bread" helps us distinguish between true needs and mere wants.

The sermon emphasizes how the Lord's Prayer shifts from focusing on God's kingdom to our needs at this point, but maintains a community focus with "us" rather than "me." Myers references Exodus 16:4 where God provided manna daily to the Israelites, teaching them dependence, and challenges believers to develop an attitude of dependence on God, maintain appropriate expectations about provision, and cultivate a heart for others' needs. He concludes with practical challenges to pray with family before meals, pray publicly, and offer to pray for servers at restaurants.

In this sermon, Pastor Brian examines the phrase "your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" from the Lord's Prayer, addressing the tension between God's sovereignty and human free will. He distinguishes between God's moral will—the framework for how we should live—and God's sovereign will—His overarching plan that will ultimately be accomplished. Using personal examples like his family's car accident with a fleeing criminal, Pastor Brian illustrates how events that don't align with God's moral desires can still be used within His sovereign plan.

Pastor Brian explains that when we pray for God's will to be done, we're not attempting to influence God but rather aligning ourselves with His purposes. We can discern God's moral will through Scripture, being led by the Holy Spirit, and having our minds renewed through regular engagement with God's Word and His people. As we choose to live according to God's ways, we experience a taste of heaven on earth, similar to how angels in heaven perfectly obey God. The prayer is ultimately a surrender of our own plans and desires, trusting that as Romans 8:28 promises, all things work together for good for those who love God.

In this sermon, Jordan Funderburk delves into the meaning of "Your kingdom come" from the Lord's Prayer. He begins by explaining that the kingdom of God is not a physical location but rather the rule of God in people's lives. Funderburk highlights that Jesus spoke about the kingdom as both present and future, quoting Luke 17:20-21 and Matthew 24:14.

Funderburk outlines three ways we can experience God's kingdom: conversion (accepting Christ as Lord), commitment (being a "kingdom builder" by using our time, talents, and treasure for God's purposes), and completion (the future return of Christ and establishment of His eternal kingdom). He emphasizes the importance of prioritizing God's kingdom over worldly pursuits, despite the challenges of living in a society that often pulls us away from God. Funderburk concludes by encouraging listeners to change their citizenship, live out their commitment, and eagerly await the completion of God's kingdom.

Josh Hofford delves into the significance of God's holy name as found in the Lord's Prayer, specifically the phrase "hallowed be your name" (Matthew 6:9). He begins by discussing the importance of names in our lives, then transitions to the exclusivity and holiness of God's name. Hofford emphasizes that while we have an intimate "Abba" relationship with God, we must approach Him with reverence, not as a casual buddy.

The sermon outlines God's character traits, including patience, faithfulness, and kindness, illustrated through personal anecdotes like the story of Theo the dog. Hofford concludes by presenting three ways we can show reverence to God: believing He exists, maintaining awareness of His presence, and obeying His word. He encourages listeners to identify areas in their lives where they need to better align with God's will and show Him proper reverence.

In this sermon, Pastor Jeremy delves into the Lord's Prayer, beginning with its context in the Sermon on the Mount. He explains that Jesus addressed a diverse audience, including Jewish worshippers, Jewish elites, and pagans. Before introducing the Lord's Prayer, Jesus corrected misconceptions about prayer, warning against making it a spectacle (Matthew 6:5-6) or engaging in meaningless repetition (Matthew 6:7-8).

Pastor Jeremy emphasizes that the Lord's Prayer is not meant to be recited mindlessly, but rather serves as a template for personal, meaningful prayer. He illustrates this by showing how the line "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11) can be adapted to address current needs, such as transportation or employment.

The sermon concludes by focusing on the opening line, "Our Father in heaven" (Matthew 6:9). Pastor Jeremy explains the revolutionary nature of addressing God as Father, especially in the context of distant, unassociated gods in Greek and Roman mythology. He highlights the perfect nature of God as our heavenly Father, contrasting it with imperfect earthly fathers, and encourages listeners to develop a personal relationship with God.
