In this message we step back and explore the larger structure of Yeshua’s Sermon on the Mount. As the layers of the sermon unfold, we discover that the Avinu Shebashamayim—the Lord’s Prayer—sits at the very center of the entire teaching. Even more surprising, the very heart of the prayer contains a simple request that reveals something profound about life in the Kingdom of Heaven. This message explores the structure of the sermon and prepares us to rediscover the depth and Jewish roots of this prayer in the messages ahead.
