We say it almost as a \ncomfort blanket, something that makes us feel secure, connected with our\n childhood, but have you ever stopped to really think about the words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\n does it mean to hallow God\u2019s name? What difference might it make if we \ndid? Hallow is an ancient word meaning to make holy, to respect. Do we \nreally respect the name of God?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then we go on to think about God\u2019s kingdom being real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But\n as the film I will be showing later says, God can only bring in his \nkingdom if he truly controls us, or rather if we surrender to him; if we\n live our lives according to his will. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are very good \nat asking God for our daily needs. The trouble is we don\u2019t always \nrecognise when we have them, and we always want more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then\n we come to the bit about temptation. Recently the Pope caused some \ncontroversy by suggesting changes to the Lord\u2019s prayer, making it more \nevident that God would never lead us into a position of peril. No, it is\n ourselves who put us into situations where we are tempted, where we are\n morally in danger. Where we endanger our eternal salvation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And\n what about forgiveness? How easy or otherwise do we find it to forgive \nthose who hurt us in some way? But the truth is that revenge is not \nsweet, rather it embitters us and destroys our peace of mind. And God \ncan only forgive us if we have forgiven others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it is\n only when we have taken all of that on board and accepted the truth of \nit, that we are entitled to share in the power and the glory that is \nalways God\u2019s. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sixth Sunday after Trinity \u2013 morning Sunday 28th July 2019 Trinity 6 &#8211; Proper 12 \u2013 morning Hosea 1.2-10 Luke 11. 1-13 Revd Preb Maureen Hobbs At the 10 am service this video was shown in place of the sermon: This sermon was preached at the 8 am said communion service: Lord teach us to &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/information\/sermons\/sermon-28th-july-2019-morning\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Sermon &#8211; 28th July 2019 &#8211; morning&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":270,"menu_order":115,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3208","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3208"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3208\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3212,"href":"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3208\/revisions\/3212"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
