    Narrative Lectionary 586: Preaching Series on 1 John - June 23, 2024

    Narrative Lectionary 586: Preaching Series on 1 John - June 23, 2024

    Series overview
    The prayer Jesus teaches in Luke 11:2-4 follows the pattern of the commandment to love God with heart, soul, strength, and mind and our neighbors as ourselves (Luke 10:27).1 Only after the prayer is grounded in God’s person and reign do we move to requests that reflect our personal needs, our relationships with our neighbors, and the struggles of our own souls.
    This preaching series suggests four weeks for this text. If you have longer, you may wish to take a Sunday for each petition and possibly one for the address, “Father,” which is immensely rich but also immensely difficult for some. Following the four-week program, I have focused on the grounding of the prayer in our love for God, with a week for the address and for each of the first two petitions, then a week for the three petitions related to love for neighbor and self.
