Mission of PCC:

To Help People Discover and Experience the Life-Changing Love of Christ.  

Vision of PCC:

Taking the life of Jesus as a pattern for life, we receive the Gospel message of Jesus as a model for this community. As such, we worship and glorify God as we:

• prioritize being together [COMMUNITY]
• hear and respond to the word of God with an emphasis on prayer [GROWTH]
• are a tangible presence of grace in our communities and the world [ENGAGEMENT]

Prayer = foundational in our faith and relationship with God

• sanctification gap = what God desires vs. our current lives
• Leviticus 11:45
• How do we address this gap?

The Lord’s Prayer - Matthew 6:9-13

What could it look like if we were to pray The Lord’s prayer everyday?

Our Father in heaven:

• who are we addressing?

hallowed be your name:

- hallowed = holy, sacred, unique, set apart, one of a kind

your kingdom come:

• Has God’s Kingdom come to earth?
• Mark 1:15
• Is the kingdom of God fully permeating every inch of God’s creation?
• Has the Kingdom of God come into your own life?

your will be done:

• will we choose our own way of defining what is good, our own will - or will we partner with God and choose what He declares is good, His will?

on earth as it is in heaven:

• we are asking the Lord to invade earth

Three things we are called to bring before The Lord:

1. Bread

• give us today our daily bread
• depend on God for His daily gift of provision - bread

2. Forgiveness

• forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors
• forgiveness is essential in God’s Kingdom
• Colossians 3:13
• consider what forgiveness does for you
• Matthew 6:14-15

3. Temptation

• And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one
• Jesus was tempted
• Matthew 4:1-11
• Matthew 26:36-46

The Lord's prayer was a gift given to us by Jesus to help us focus on the Lord and to be aware of His presence.

How would our lives be impacted if we prayed this prayer every day or even multiple times each day?
