The Disciple's Prayer

Deliver Us from the Evil One

The Disciple's Prayer

How Badly Do You Need Forgiveness?

Speaker Phil Congdon

Jesus instructed His disciples to pray, 'And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.' This is the only mention in this prayer our action - how we have forgiven others. How much have you forgiven others? How much do you need forgiveness?

The Disciple's Prayer

A Prayer for Forgiveness

Speaker Phil Congdon

Jesus tells us to ask for forgiveness: Why? Because our spiritual position doesn't guarantee our spiritual condition. A disciple of Jesus has eternal life by faith; that's his position. But fellowship with God requires ongoing forgiveness of sin; that's our condition.

Scripture: Matthew 6:12a

"Give us this day our daily bread..." Those familiar words from the Disciple's Prayer have been often misconstrued in our materialistic world. A closer look reveals that disciples recognize their dependence on God for each day's needs, and trust in Him completely.

Are You Living Toward God's Kingdom

Speaker Phil Congdon

"Your Kingdom come." This brief request in the Disciple's Prayer is significant for our lives today and points with hope to the future. Yet many Christians rarely think of this kingdom. What are we missing? The culmination of God's plan - and motivation for life right now!

Scripture: Matthew
