Our Father

March 9, 2025 | Matthew 6.7-9 | Rob Collis

Lent is a season in the Church calendar that’s been set apart for us to do some heart-work. It’s when we can recapture our love for God and his kingdom, and cast off the practices, behaviours, and beliefs that have entangled our hearts – where we can pull away the weeds that have distracted and pulled us away from our love in Jesus Christ. Because, ultimately, Lent is a season of realigning our hearts so that Jesus can rekindle our love for him. And for us as a church, the way we’re going to do that is to delve deep into the Lord’s Prayer.

This week, Rob Collis invites us to explore the very start of this famous prayer, in Matthew 6.7-9, where Jesus shows us two ways we can approach prayer – one which will always leave us feeling cold and distant, and another that will help us press into God’s presence.
