This is the fifth of a six part series exploring The Lord’s Prayer. The series was originally recorded as a video series in County Mayo during the lockdown at the beginning 2021. It was recorded outdoors in different parts of Mayo, hence the sounds of nature in the background. It was also a series I shared with my friend and colleague Cathal Duffy who pastors Castlebar Christian Fellowship. This fifth episode was recorded at Burrishoole Bridge just outside Newport on the way to Achill. In it I consider the line, ‘lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil’. What is it we are asking for deliverance from when we pray this prayer?

This fourth episode was recorded at Bilberry Lake in Islandeady between Castlebar & Westport with a beautiful snow covered Croagh Patrick in the background. In it Cathal reflects the power, offer & call to forgiveness in the words, ‘forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us’.

Antrim as the original had pretty strong wind at times. In it I explore what it means to ask for ‘Daily Bread’. What are we asking for when we pray “Give us this day our daily bread”?

This episode of a season on the Psalms written by the Sons of Korah is all about knowing God as our refuge & strength in troubling times. Psalm 46 is an encouraging Psalm for the days we live in. It gives us a reason for not fearing the worst, reminds us that God is our help within & without & assures us that all will be well in the end.
