Two Week Series - Pray Like Jesus — Thru Lord’s Prayer
Most Famous, Most Well Known Prayers
You ever known someone and wished you had their faith?
they seem so knowledgable and joyful.
This is what the disciples noticed in Jesus.
He seemed to know how to pray with power and passion.
`We wish we knew God as You know Him.
(Lloyd Jones)
they wanted that.
So that asked him.
Lord, teach us to pray.
THE PATTERN OF PRAYER
But Jesus is not teaching us to pray these words exactly.
Rather, is is showing us HOW TO PRAY
He is giving us a PATTERN OF PRAYER.
This PRAYER CONTAINS EVERYTHING — it is COMPLETE.
THE LORD’S PRAYER TEACHES US:
WHO WE SHOULD PRAY TO
HOW WE SHOULD PRAY
WHAT WE SHOULD PRAY FOR
WHAT IS PRAYER?
A CONVERSATION
We speak to God — Prayer
He speaks to us — in Prayer, PRI through Scripture, and his church
PRAY
Nation.
Lift up the name of Jesus.
WHO WE PRAY TO: THE FATHER
Matthew 6:9 “Pray then like this: ‘Our Father in heaven’”“
The first thing we see is that Jesus indeed does tell us to pray— “When you pray...”
The very first word (in greek) is CRUCIAL for everything that follows
FATHER OF US (OUR FATHER)
This is perhaps the MOST SIGNFICANT WORD.
God is OUR FATHER.
Q: Do you know the difference between God as Creator and God as Father?
Like why doesn’t Jesus just pray “Our Creator” ?
The difference = RELATIONSHIP
My kids can come to me
There is a warmth, a love to the Father-child relationship.
Some do not HAVE GOOD FEELINGS w/ the WORD FATHER
but try to imagine everything you wish a father was.
Loving, encouraging, present, caring, involved, invested.
This is God, our FATHER
PRAY LIKE CHILDREN
Who do kids go to when they want or need something?
Ans: Their Parents.
Why? B/C they know they these are the people that God has put on this earth to take care of them, to know them, to love them, to instruct them.
This is espically true of younger kids.
In this, we have something to learn from kids in our we relate to God, our Father.
What does this mean?
It means we all grew up and became FOOLISH.
We thought that ‘honoring God’ was we wouldn’t NEED HIM
But true growth in God is growing in our knowledge of our NEED OF HIM
God is glorified when we have our needs met in him.
IN HEAVEN
Q: WHERE IS OUR FATHER
Notice it says “in heaven”
What does that mean?
First it means that he is ETERNAL, INFINITE AND ALMIGHTY
Secondly it means that he is NEAR.
Heaven is not so much a different PLACE as it is a DIFFERENT PLANE
Luke 17:20-21 “‘The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, 21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”
The Father then, is always Near.
FATHER THROUGH JESUS
Q: How did God become our Father?
ANS: Jesus:
Jesus calls him “My Father”
When we believe in Jesus we are made children of God
ADOPTION into the family of God
It’s why it’s so IMPORTANT THAT YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS.
It’s how we get into the FAMILY OF GOD.
WHAT DO WE PRAY FOR
THREE THINGS we ask for: NOTICE ALL - GOD-CENTERED
GOD’S GLORY
GOD’S KINGDOM TO COME
GOD’S WILL BE DONE
When we pray, we dont’ start with us, we start with God.
1. HONOR TO YOUR NAME
Matt 6:9b “Hallowed be your name”
What does this mean?
CSB “your name be honored as holy”
Hallow = make holy, to honor, respect.
The first thing we pray:
That God’s Name be honored, lifted up, respected, revered.
Basically, may your name be GLORIFIED
Is the first thing we pray, the thing we most care about, the thing we long for most...
GOD’S NAME BE LIFTED UP — NOT MY NAME
This is the highest prayer, the highes call, the greatest desire.
That the name of the lord be honored among the nations.
And of course: we can start with us.
IS GOD’S NAME HONORED IN MY LIFE?
OR IS MY NAME?
John the Baptist:
2. YOUR KINGDOM COME
Matthew 6:10 “Your kingdom come”
Q: What is God’s Kingdom?
Ans: Anywhere that God is reigning.
