Red Door Church

Preacher: Jonathan Smith This short two week series looks into prayer - specifically, how Jesus wants us to pray. This week Pastor Jonathan looks at the last parts of the Lord's Prayer, specifically where we should pray for God's provision - for our needs, not our greeds; His protection - keeping us from temptation, trials and evil; and finally, His forgiveness. The main focus of this message is how much God has forgiven us and the cost involved. We struggle with forgiveness because it is costly - when someone hurts us, we want them to pay us back for the hurt. When we forgive, we release the cost - we won't be compensated, it is costly! It is not until we fully recognise the cost to God, the unfathomable cost to Him, that we we can truly appreciate why we should behave the same towards others who have hurt us. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.
