Matthew 6:5-15

In this sermon on Matthew 6:5-15, Pastor Andrey Gorban explores Jesus' teaching on prayer within the Sermon on the Mount, focusing especially on verse 11: "Give us this day our daily bread." Pastor Gorban emphasizes the profound dependence Christians are called to have on God, highlighting that prayer is not merely about presenting requests but about recognizing God's sovereignty and provision in every aspect of life. He unpacks how Jesus instructs his disciples to approach God with humility, affirming God's holiness and kingdom before bringing their needs, thus framing prayer as an act of worship and trust. Pastor Gorban also reflects on the communal nature of prayer, encouraging believers to pray together as a body, sharing their needs and growing in dependence on God collectively. He offers practical application through the acrostic ASK: Affirm who God is, Seek Him continually, and Know your total dependence on Him. Ultimately, this sermon invites Christians to deepen their prayer lives by acknowledging God as the source of all provision, cultivating gratitude, and living with joyful trust in God's faithful care.
