The Lord's Prayer - Week 4: Our Daily Bread

In the fourth message of our series called The Lord's Prayer, Pastor Mel discusses a twofold expression found in verse 11: Give us this day our daily bread. God knows we need bread for today and we also need bread for tomorrow. Mel explains the tradition of unleavened bread representing freedom from slavery, humility, and purity. He goes on to point out how God wants us to trust Him for provision each day. There is prudence in stewarding your resources well, but we must resist allowing our trust in the storehouse to replace our faith in God's provision. The message finishes with the understanding that it isn't wrong to pray for what we want and need, so long as those prayers are couched within the context of praying for God's kingdom.
