The Real Lord's Prayer 041125 with Michael W Smith Teaching

Summary
This sermon discusses the true Lord's Prayer found in John 17, contrasting it with the more commonly known prayer pattern in Matthew. The pastor explains how Jesus' prayer in John 17 is divided into three parts: praying for himself, his disciples, and future believers. The sermon emphasizes Christ's divinity while explaining how He emptied Himself of divine attributes (omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence) to become human, yet retained His divine nature.

Intro Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we gather to study Your Word and understand the depth of Jesus' prayer for us, open our hearts and minds to receive Your truth. Help us grasp the significance of our identity in Christ and how deeply You love us. Guide our discussion and reveal what You want each person to learn today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
