    We finish up the Lord's Prayer sermon series with Jesus' words on temptation. Do they match how we normally approach sin in our lives?

    AVOIDING TEMPTATION: Do I want this for my life? - Matthew 6:13. - Now we come to the close of the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus has invited us to pray about a number of important subjects and now we have a final one about spiritual victory. - What does v. 13 mean? I think a summary statement would be ...read more
