Matthew 6:9-13 Prayer (part 2)

In Matthew 6:9–13, Jesus gives what is often called the Lord’s Prayer—but far from being a formula to recite, it is a model that reshapes how God’s people think, pray, and live. In this message, we walk verse by verse through Jesus’ prayer to uncover what it reveals about the Father, the priorities of the Kingdom, and our daily dependence on God.

This sermon explores how prayer begins not with our needs, but with God’s name, God’s reign, and God’s will. We examine what it means to ask for daily bread in a culture of anxiety, to seek forgiveness as forgiven people, and to rely on God’s guidance and protection in a world filled with temptation and spiritual opposition. Throughout, we see how Jesus Himself lived out every line of this prayer in His life, ministry, and obedience to the Father.

Whether you have recited this prayer for years or are hearing it with fresh ears, this message invites you to move beyond memorization to transformation—to learn how Jesus teaches us to pray, trust, and align our lives with the heart of God.
