Matthew 6:9 - 6:10 (Part 4)

Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg

In this lesson, Steve Gregg continues his teachings on the Lord's Prayer portion of Chapter 6 of the Gospel of Matthew. He emphasizes the idea that as a Christian disciple, one does not own oneself or one's possessions, and that one should focus on eternal matters and the will of God. While it is acceptable to ask God for things, one should not neglect important issues or pray for comfort and luxury. Gregg advises that one should trust in God to provide for what is needed today and in the future, without storing up goods.
