Reimagining ‘Our Father’ - Jeremy Duncan

This week, we dive deep into the heart of the Lord’s Prayer—exploring what Jesus teaches us about prayer and how it can transform our spiritual lives.

We begin by reflecting on Meister Eckhart's profound reminder: "If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is 'thank you,' it will be enough." With this powerful simplicity, we enter into a discussion about how the language we choose in prayer shapes our relationship with God and one another.

Today’s sermon invites us to explore:

Prayerful Adjectives: Why the attributes we assign to God matter deeply.

Parental Figures: Understanding the familial language Jesus uses—beyond traditional gender binaries—to ground our prayers in shared community.

Our Shared Reality: Recognizing prayer as an expression of unity, reminding us that God belongs to all of us.

Newborn Desires: How aligning our desires with God's transforms not just our prayers but our lives.

Ultimately, this message encourages us to reimagine prayer as sacred conversation—where we are fully known, completely safe, and unconditionally loved. It's a space where authenticity meets divine embrace.

Join us as we rediscover prayer as a profound act of trust, solidarity, and hope. May this teaching encourage you to see yourself and the world through the compassionate eyes of our collective Father.
