The Large Catechism: The Lord’s Prayer: 4th Petition
Jan 1000:57:41Tap to summarize“Our daily bread” encompasses everything we need for our lives here on earth. We give thanks to the Lord for all He gives to sustain this life, and we seek His grace for continued provision. In this petition, Luther especially highlights the need for good government for the sake of peace and protection. The Lord provides for all people, even those outside the Christian faith, and we pray that the Holy Spirit will provide the Bread of Life for their salvation.Rev.

Transcribe →The Large Catechism: The Lord’s Prayer: 3rd Petition
Dec 2000:56:16Tap to summarizeWe seek God’s will, but the devil’s will is the exact opposite. The Lord desires us to have no other gods; the devil’s will is that we have MANY gods. We look to the Lord for the Gospel, faith, and the Holy Spirit as we realize that there is a battle raging. An unbeliever has no battle because the Word is not heard, but for the baptized there is a struggle. The struggle, however, is not more powerful than the resurrected Lord! He is our refuge, strength, and ever-present help in trouble. We come to Him in prayer and utilize His armor to stay steadfast in Christ. (Ephesians 6:10-18).Rev. Dr. Brian Kachelmeier, pastor of Crown of Life Lutheran Church, San Antonio, TX, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the 3rd Petition of the Lord’s Prayer.To learn more about Crown of Life Lutheran, visit crownoflifesa.org.Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org.Study the Lutheran Confession of Faith found in the Book of Concord with lively discussions led by host Rev.

Transcribe →The Large Catechism: The Lord’s Prayer: 2nd Petition
Dec 1300:55:44Tap to summarizeWe ask for God’s kingdom to come among us. Where you find the kingdom, there you find the King (Jesus). Where you find the King (Jesus), there you find the kingdom. We ask that He would give us His Holy Spirit to believe His Word. An earthly kingdom is found by the work of its people and by force. God’s kingdom is found by the work of God in Christ and by His grace. His kingdom is seen now by the Word, Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper. We anticipate beholding the kingdom that is yet to come, that we may keep our focus on what truly matters in this life!Rev. Dr. Matthew Richard, pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Minot, ND, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the 2nd Petition of the Lord’s Prayer.To learn more about St. Paul's in Minot, visit anchoredminot.com.Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org.Study the Lutheran Confession of Faith found in the Book of Concord with lively discussions led by host Rev.

Transcribe →The Large Catechism: The Lord’s Prayer: 1st Petition
Dec 600:55:57Tap to summarizeGod’s name is holy, and we are to proclaim His Word faithfully and live holy lives according to it. We not only watch our language but intentionally use our words to call upon God’s Name in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks. “Help us to do this, dear Father in heaven!” We ask the LORD to keep us from speaking unholy words that do not glorify Him. “Protect us from this, heavenly Father!” To hallow is to praise, magnify, and honor Him in word and deed.Rev. Andy Wright, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church, Topeka, KS, joins Rev.

Nov 2900:57:01Tap to summarizePrayer is filled with promise. The Lord hears and answers us according to His gracious will. He provides us with the gift of the Lord’s Prayer, that we may confidently come to Him, knowing He will give us what we need. Our shelter and protection rests in our prayers as a weapon against the devil and the sinful world, not because of the prayers themselves, but because of the power of the One who hears. We can utilize His Word for prayer, especially when we are at a loss for words. It is His Words that give us the Holy Spirit and provide a clear conscience in Christ.Rev. Ben Meyer, pastor at Hope Lutheran Church, Sunbury, OH, joins Rev.

We pray to our gracious God, clinging to His promises of salvation. It is only by Him that we can receive or do anything good.

Transcribe →The Large Catechism: The Apostles’ Creed: 3rd Article, Part 2
Nov 1500:58:12Tap to summarizeThe Holy Spirit daily administers forgiveness and will continue to do so until the end. He increases holiness within the Christian Church that is not finished until Christ returns. There will be a time when forgiveness will no longer be needed.

God continues to give Himself to us completely that we might live to His glory and rest in His grace!Rev. Nathan Scheck, Associate Pastor of St. John Lutheran, Seward, NE, joins Rev.

Transcribe →The Large Catechism: The Apostles’ Creed: 3rd Article, Part 1
Nov 800:55:31Tap to summarizeThe Holy Spirit makes one holy by His Word. Sanctification is the understanding that the Holy Spirit makes us holy and leads us to live a holy life. The Spirit creates faith in Christ and then gathers His people into the Church. In this Church, He continues to bring salvation to sinners by the Word and still makes them holy. This holiness is brought by the clear proclamation of forgiveness in Christ (Word and Sacrament). “O Holy Spirit enter in, that Your people confess Christ as Lord, and they gather around Your gifts. Amen.”Rev. Nathan Scheck, Associate Pastor of St. John Lutheran, Seward, NE, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the 3rd Article of the Apostles’ Creed.To learn more about St. John Lutheran, visit stjohnseward.org/home/church.Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org.Study the Lutheran Confession of Faith found in the Book of Concord with lively discussions led by host Rev.
