Prayer (175)
  1. God is not the source of temptation, but He may use our temptations to teach us of HIs grace. Craig and Troy conclude their study on the Lord's Prayer.
  2. "Forgive us our sins, as we forgive the sins of others"? How does that work? Craig and Troy dive headfirst into the Fifth Petition of the Lord's Prayer.
  3. If God does all this stuff anyway, why should we even pray for it? Craig and Troy wade back into the Lord's Prayer and our receiving of what He does.
  4. Who should pray and how can we do it? Craig and Troy take a closer look at the prayer Jesus Himself gave us to pray.
  5. This is not a plea for us to be given the strength to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. It is our helpless cry when boots – straps and all - slip off the edge of temptation’s cliff.
  6. The petition not to be led into temptation is found in just the right place within the seven petitions.
  7. Though envy whispers to us that peace can only be found by “keeping up,” Jesus whispers to us a better word: “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.”
  8. While you are busy working at being passive in your righteousness, let God sanctify you through some holy words spoken by unholy men.
  9. If we want to see evidence of our Father’s answer to the fifth petition, we need only to look at the cross and the empty tomb.
  10. Even though the horn of plenty on our table is there as the fruit of our labor, that is also a gift of God’s grace
  11. The place where it is most difficult for us to accept God’s will is when suffering, calamities, and finally, death itself.
  12. Caleb, Scott, and Rod read and discuss Luther’s daily prayers out of the Small Catechism.
