Give and Take - Audio

What better way to pray than to model the prayers of Jesus. The classic Lord's Prayer found in Matthew 6 sits in the middle of what many consider Jesus' greatest message, "The Sermon on the Mount". Two movements, give and take, can be found in this prayer. In particular come and see how forgiveness is tantamount to a vital prayer life. "Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." The Lord’s Prayer has 2 Movements: Give (vv.9-10) a. His Sovereignty b. Our Submission Are you ready to give God his Sovereignty and our Submission? Prayer of Submission: Heavenly Father, We bow before you in worship. We want to submit and surrender ourselves completely and unreservedly in every area of our lives to you. Your perfect will for us is always our best. Prayer of Submission: Lord Jesus, We worship you and we want to love and cherish you and treasure you above all else. We recognize that you alone are worthy to receive all glory, honor, and praise. We are thankful for your sacrifice on the cross that has atoned for our sins and to receive eternal life in your Name. Holy Spirit, Come fill us with joy, peace and comfort. We welcome your guidance, counsel, and help each and every day. We humbly pray this in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Take (vv.11-13)

Blind Spots Can Kill You (Spiritually) - Audio

“Blind spots” are areas that you cannot see but should. And they’re not just physical but also spiritual. We all have them, both individually and corporately as a church.
