Today we finish our series on the most familiar and famous prayer in the history of the church. We call it the Lord’s Prayer.

Here at The Gathering, we say these words every single week. Many of us grew up learning, repeating and reciting these words. But sometimes it is precisely the most familiar parts of our faith, that we don’t spend time thinking about. And yet they are so powerful, shaping not only how we understand God, but how we understand prayer!

Today, we are going to focus on the final section of the prayer:

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

but deliver us from evil.
