Sunday Sermon Notes
True prayer requires surrender.
Matthew 6:9–10 (ESV) 9 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Isaiah 66:1 (ESV) Thus says the LORD: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool…”
Revelation 4:8 (ESV) “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”
John 3:3 (ESV) 3 Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."
2 Corinthians 4:4 (ESV) “In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
The kingdom is going to follow the will of the king.
You cannot pray “The Lord’s Prayer” and not be surrendered to the Lord.
Colossians 1:9-14 ESV 9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
