Can you honestly ask for bread when your fridge is full and you feel you can handle everything on your own? This sermon stops at a single line of the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6), give us this day our daily bread, and shows that the Greek word behind daily simply means: for one day. That short request heals us of the illusion of self-sufficiency, of endless worry, and of the belief that we can secure our own future. Listen to how God gives strength for today, and why that really is enough.
Our Daily Bread
On Earth as It Is in Heaven
Does our conversation with God make a difference? As we listen to the prayer known as the “Our Father,” we discover that it changes our perspective on the world and helps us bring together in our lives what should be brought together. As we repeat the words of this prayer, we begin by talking with God about God and about our relationship. In the second part, we talk with God about ourselves and our relationships with others. And the purpose of this entire conversation is to bring these two worlds together-what is in heaven with what is on earth. That is what talking with God is all about.
