The Sermon on the Mount (24) – Forgive!
“Forgive us our debts/sins as we forgive others” is not a prayer to be spoken lightly, but a prayer to be lived. Even the most devout believer has a daily need to reconnect with God through repentance and forgiveness.
The Fruit of the Spirit… Is Patience
True patience means being “long-tempered” rather than short-tempered, while keeping at a distance all anger, rage, and bitterness that might put us under the influence of an evil spirit, rather than the Holy Spirit.
The Sermon on the Mount (23) – Daily Bread
“Give us … our daily bread” is not a “mundane” prayer request. Jesus is calling us to look to God, to trust Him with our entire lives, and to call on Him to meet all our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
The Fruit of the Spirit… Is Peace
Peace is not mere wishful thinking. Peace is not even just for a lucky few. God’s Peace is for everyone!
The Sermon on the Mount (22) – God’s Will
Our natural self tells us to pray, “MY will be done.” But Jesus says we are to invite God to conquer us, to take charge of our lives and change our hearts so that we willingly pray, “YOUR will be done.”
The Fruit of the Spirit… Is Love
Are we going to live by the flesh (i.e. the old way, the old “self”), or will we live in the power of God’s Holy Spirit? Will we show “the fruit of the Spirit” in our lives?
The Sermon on the Mount (21) – His Kingdom
“Thy kingdom come” is both a missionary and a visionary prayer. We know that in these last days God is at work in human history to establish His kingdom over all the earth, and that the day will come when the Lord Jesus returns to make all things new.
Paul’s Letter to the Romans – Week 15
Paul’s letter to the Romans is one of the most important books of the Bible. It is also one of the best commentaries on the Old Testament ever written. It speaks powerfully to every generation, including our own.
The Sermon on the Mount (20) – His Holy Name
God’s name is already holy. May it also be holy among us, reverenced, honored, and lived out in daily life as we live in the goodness of God in Christ!
