Will I be able to realte to what they talk about at church today?
- Beyond the world of rituals, give me something that I can understand
- Everyone relates to the Lords prayer
- Let us learn to speak it with meaning, not simply to recite it
In Luke Jesus disciples asked...Lord, "Teach us how to pray."
- He answered by teaching them the prayer we call the Lord's Prayer
- the Lord's Prayer is a basic Christian prayer
- As a model of prayer, every Christian learns it by heart
- it appears everywhere in the church's life; in it liturgy and sacraments, in public and private prayer
- It's a prayer Christians treasure.
Describes our relationship to him, not him
not masculine...mysterious...holy...
6Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
7Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
8"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the Lord.
9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my
thoughts than your thoughts.
Paul on Road to Damascus, Isaiah in the throne room, Moses before the burning bush,
You can only worship that which is greater than you are...
Halloed is you name...
His name is holy, it is up to keep it holy
1. Don't take his name in vain

You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottom, sons of silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called Arthur King, you and all your silly English k-nnnnniggets. I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal poor trough wiper! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
Knight - Is there someone else up there we could talk to?

Honor is name
Consider our behavior
Walk the walk...problems that this language brings
Mel Gibson...is Mel Gibson's deal...

- It is for Mel Gibson to consider
- Just as our behavior is for us to consider

Heat, bugs, wasps, mud filth, suffering...
Glad to go, glad to have a home to come to
Ernest Hemingway writes about a Spanish father and son with a shattered relationship. But when the rebellious son ran away, the father placed an ad in the paper saying, "Paco, Please meet me in front of the newspaper office at noon. All is forgiven. Love, Father." He was amazed the next day when 800 sons, al named Paco, showed up seeking reconciliation with their fathers.
Our father...we have a place to belong...
this is not just the Lord's Prayer, this is our prayer
This is a prayer that everyone can learn and every one can know and everyone can use.
