In reverence and respect to God, kindly turn off all electronic devices prior to entering the sanctuary. Sermon Outline: Lord’s Prayer Give us our daily bread.

What does this prayer tell us about God? +Providence=God is a provider.

+Bread is a symbol of God’s care. Narratives in both Old & New Testament show a God of abundant giving.

+Jesus—“I am the bread of life” (my body given for you). More bread than we could ever ask!

What does this prayer tell us about our relationship to God? +We depend completely on God for everything we need both physically and spiritually.

“We Westerners have nearly mastered the art of controlling nature. We open a faucet and the water flows. We flip a switch and there is light. We turn up the thermostat and the temperature goes up. We turn it down and it drops.” John Timmer

+Praying for bread is a surrender of the illusion of control & self-sufficiency.

How are ways that we can pray “Give us today our daily bread”? +This petition comes “down the line” in this prayer— We pray about God’s name, kingdom and will first. Yet—we still pray our wants and needs, not ignore them. We pray not only for “stuff and things” but an attitude of trust & peace.

+Our bread: 1st person plural—us, we & our (not me, my, mine). “Royal priests” (1 Peter 2) We intercede on behalf of others. We pray not only for the hungry but also with the hungry We also pray that we be answers to this prayer.

Praying this prayer in simple ways at our tables (both meal and Lord’s Supper).

We ultimately ask God that we would be moved with gratitude for His abundance. Notes: WELCOME We welcome you to Sunday Worship at Cedar Hill CRC.
