What does it mean to pray, "Deliver us from the evil one?" Mark Clifton helps us to understand this petition in the Lord's Prayer.

The words of the Lord's prayer are so familiar to many of us, we may not stop often enough to think about their meaning. What does it mean to ask for daily bread? Does the Lord only forgive us if we first forgive others? Are we ever led into temptation by God? Mark Clifton helps to explain the answers to these questions in this sermon.

Have you considered the significance of the words Jesus gave us as a model prayer? What does it mean to "hallow" God's name? What would it look like for God's kingdom to come? Mark Clifton begins this series by looking at these questions.
