S3E5 Grace in the Lord’s Prayer

We’ve all recited the Lord’s Prayer - but have we really grasped its depth through the lens of grace? In this episode, the On the Table team unpacks what it means to hallow God’s name and to pray, “Lead us not into temptation.” We explore how God’s name is made holy in us not through our striving or perfection, but through His love and grace at work in our lives. Jesus, the true hero, was led into temptation and overcame it on our behalf. His victory is ours, and as we rest in Him, His name is glorified in us.
