What We Need.
Sermon based on Matthew 6:11, from the Lord's Prayer:
“Give us today our daily bread."
Discusses the radical abundance of God’s kingdom is at hand when we seek God first. That Abundance is what we find when we remove division. That Abundance is what we find when we remove desires. That Abundance is what we find when we remove anxiety.
Teaches us that Faith is not fear. That faith is love. That Prayer is the language of who we are in relation to God. That in Hell we get to have what we want, while in Heaven we get to want what we have. Touches on Rakhum (רַחוּם), the Hebrew concept of compassionate; nourishing; related to the Hebrew word for womb (Rekhem).
