We’re spending this month examining the Lord’s Prayer. What does it mean for us, today?

We began worship in our brand-new space with a contemplation of the first lines of the Lord's Prayer: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name." Hallowing, holy-ing, remembering that God is God and we are not. And we asked God to hallow the theater by praying all over it -- backstage, the balcony, even the bathrooms. 

"On earth as it is in heaven," we pray. So what does that mean about heaven? And what does that mean about earth? Wherein a plane ride with a fellow believer helps us clarify what we do, and don't, hope for our future with God.

Technical difficulties prevented the recording of the third sermon of this series. Either that, or it disappeared into thin air, cuz when we were building this archive we couldn’t find it anywhere. But here’s what Katie had to say about it when she wrote this series:

Bread and forgiveness. Jesus insisted that we really only need two things: food in our belly and mercy in our hearts. We ask for both, and getting some of God’s mercy is contingent only our giving it away.

We finished up our worship series on the Lord's Prayer, reading Matthew 6:6-13 for the umpteenth time until we've almost got it -- get this -- memorized! Leah Jordan, a third-year student at Brite Divinity School, joined us to talk about the final petitions of the prayer: "Lead us not into [temptation, the time of trial]; deliver us from [evil, the evil one, the brokenness of everything]." It wasn't an easy assignment, and we'll be thinking about her words for long time to come. The prayer, like God's mercies, like our lives, is new every day. Thanks, Leah.
