The Lord’s Prayer: Part 2
In last week’s blog post, you learned that I listened to Crawford Loritts give a series of sermons on the Lord’s Prayer as recorded in Matthew 6:9-13 in which Jesus provides His disciples with an example about how to pray. I reviewed the first half of the prayer in my last post: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be […]
The Lord’s Prayer: Part 1
A few months ago, I listened to Crawford Loritts give a series of sermons on the Lord’s Prayer as recorded in Matthew 6:9-13 where Jesus provides His disciples with an example about how to pray. I will not be regurgitating my notes. Nor will I be citing Crawford in this post because I am not […]
