Series One: Our Father In Heaven

Matthew 6:9a "Our Father which art in heaven."

Song: Awesome in Power
1. Oh, God,... awe-some in pow - er...
Oh God,... gen-tle in love...
Oh God,... You are my God ... and I love You...
2. Oh God,... full of com-pas-sion...
Oh God,... faith-ful and true...
Oh God,... You are my God ... and I love You...
(Rick Founds, collections)

This was Tony's favorite short worship of who God is. I would like to share the note from The Full Life Study Bible by Donald C. Stamps on Our Father ... in heaven. Prayer involves worship of the heavenly Father. As Father, God loves us, cares for us, and welcomes our fellowship and intimacy (private nature share as feeling close to Him); through Christ we have access (permission to enter) to Him at any time to worship Him and communicate our needs to Him. How He responds to His children depends upon our faith and obedience to Him.

The Lord's Prayer Round:
Our Father which are in heaven. Holy be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

May the God bless you today!
