“Lord, teach us to pray” Matthew 6:9-13; Luke 11:1

HOPE: 1 Thess 5:8-11 But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith & love, & as a helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him. 11 Therefore encourage one another….

SALVATION: Eph 2:8 - For by grace you have been saved through faith; & that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 1 Cor 1:18 - For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Rom 5:9 - Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
