Part 3 in Sermon Series on The Disciples' Prayer aka "The Lord's Prayer" In this phrase "Hallowed Be Thy Name" we express how much we Love God. It forces us to re-focus on God our Father who loves us and wants us to connect with Him in prayer.

1. HALLOWED BE THY NAME
THE PRAYR OF REFOCUS

2. • That's precisely what happens to a church
when its leaders don't pray -- its ministry
becomes powerless and ineffective. E.M.
Bounds emphasized the need for a ministry of
prayer within the church when he wrote, "It
may be laid down as an axiom, that God
needs, first of all, leaders in the church, who
will be first in prayer, men with whom prayer
is habitual and characteristic, men who know
the primacy of prayer.

3. • But even more than a habit of prayer, and
more than prayer being characteristic of them,
church leaders are to be men whose lives are
made and molded by prayer, whose heart and
life are made up of prayer. These are the men
-- the only men -- God can use in the
furtherance of his kingdom and the implanting
of His message in the hearts of men."

4. THE MODEL PRAYER
‘Father reveal who you are,
Set the world right,
Keep us alive with three meals a day
Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving
others
Keep us safe from ourselves and the
Devil’

5. REFOCUSING: HALLOWED BE THY
NAME
• The start of the prayer with Father tells us how
much God loves us.
• In the second phrase we tell God how much we
love him.
• To worship is to give God extravagant respect

6. ALL IN A NAME
God is your:
Creator who made you
Father who loves you
Saviour who forgives you
Shepherd who guides you

Counsellor who gives you wisdom
Comforter who gives you strength

His wonderful deeds for men.” Ps. 107:15
