For We Ourselves Also Forgive

Forgive Us Our Sins
Luke 11:1-4 – In the 32nd Psalm, God’s Word proclaims, “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.” Pastor Rod Bunton teaches why forgiveness of sin is our most basic need for our spiritual existence.
Give Us Each Day Our Daily Bread
Luke 11:1-4 – In Acts 17:25, Paul says, “[God] himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.” Pastor Rod Bunton explains why Jesus taught his disciples to ask for bread, daily.
Your Kingdom Come

Hallowed Be Your Name
Luke 11:1-4 – In Jesus’ model for prayer, he starts with a petition: “hallowed be your name.” Pastor Rod Bunton shows us the meaning behind this uncommon phrase.
Our Father

A Priority Problem

The Wrong Question

That’s Not Fair!
Luke 10:17-22 – After a successful missionary outreach, Jesus praised God for hiding the kingdom message from some and for revealing it to others. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches that, like Jesus, we shouldn’t argue with this doctrine, we should praise God for it!
A Successful Mission
Luke 10:17-20 – When the disciples returned from their mission trips ahead of Christ’s visits to various places, they were excited about their success. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches that Jesus redirected their focus to what was really worth rejoicing about.
