- Ministry of the Word: Our glorious, all powerful King is the only one who can answer all our petitions
- If a child is hungry they don't ask a random stranger they ask their parents.
- The end of the Lord's Prayer teaches us that God is there to deal with all of our requests. For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory.
- These petitions in the Lord's Prayer are not teaching God of course, they are reminders for us.
- God is there for every moment of our lives.
- We need to keep these petitions in front of us at all times as constant reminders for us to look to God.
- Only God can give us ultimate freedom; freedom from sin.
- We end our prayer by acknowledging that God has all of the Power and all of the Glory. All creation shows God's Glory. Forgiveness shows us God's Glory.
- With the fall into sin, humanity said "ours is the kingdom". With the Lord's Prayer we confess that it is God's Kingdom.
- To God alone belongs glory. Soli deo gloria.
