Andrew Allison – Listen
Songs for this week: Spotify or YouTube
Sermon Questions: Matthew 6:9-13
- How do you respond when someone says “‘We’re in a spiritual battle!”? Do you have evidence or thoughts on how true that is?
- “Lead us not into temptation” makes it seem that God would tempt us if we didn’t ask Him not to. What role does God have around temptation?
- What need is there for our Father to ‘deliver us from the evil one’? What has that looked like in your life?
- Check out Luke 11:14-28 where, after teaching the Lord’s prayer, Jesus gives insight into the spiritual realms. What questions come to mind from those verses? What confidence do these words bring you?
- How would your praying change if you were to pray more ‘spiritually alert’?
