Untitled Sermon

Give us this day our daily bread,

We know what the Lord’s Prayer is but miss the practical application in our life.

We

NT Wright 0 The Lord and His Prayer

JI Packer - Praying the Lord’s Prayer

Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes

John Ortberg - The Lord’s Prayer

Give Us - (Let the party continue) - complete fulfillment

- Parents would bring their kids if their kids - partying

Beginning of prayer - leads us to asking for bread

Allowing greed to get into grace - steam of conscience

Give - Supply what is neccesary

Us/Our - Same Pronoun - Reflection of the collective

this day - in the very moment - present

daily bread - Thick as your thumb - Bread is not broken - Cut

Portions of bread - Breaking of the bread - Needs

Today is the day of salvation - (2 Cor

Sustainable in life beyond the moment

Our needs to be satisfied (p.30)

Contextualizing

Give us our daily bread

Tension

Never Struggling with basic provision - It is that provision that allows us not to worry - we can be in the moment

Successful - God’s measure for success

Later - Anxiety/Worry - Worry looks to different

- (If the Lord is not building it isn’t built in vain)

You can do nothing - Unless I’m in it.

If it is giving by God it is Sustainable - Abiding

Everyone can identify with a hunger for the soul - all you want to know is that it is going to be ok, want to know I matter, purpose - there is a striving inside

When you don’t depend on God - Antithesis

When you Hungry - The wider array of things will satisfy you … You eat anything - when you eat the right thing it kills the desire

cut off certain things - Fasting - It wasn’t sustaining you - Eat more of it

Contentment - : - Secret of contentment

Collective Contentment - Community of people - what we have is for us and for our community - Body - gifts are function

Breaking the Bread -

Contentment - Breaking of Bread - Jesus - 5000 - Communion

Vices come from lack of contentment

Context of the Prayer - Placing our focus before we are asking for anything -

“Our Asking needs to come out of our abiding”

Craving - Desires

Your Body many cries for water - What your body needs most is water

Anxieties - View Success - Followers on Social Media - Accumulated a lot of things and are not fullfillment - and that is how he set up his kingdom - not going away by anything you accomplish - they’ve been feeling it since they were 16

Thread

Only God can satsisfy our deepest desires so we are asking for more of him

Provision - Intamcy sustains intensity of our faith

Commonailities
