Gathering 195: “The Lord’s Prayer: Hallowed be your name” // Service of Worship

Beatitudes Radio

“Hallowed be your name...” A radical petition? Maybe not by today’s standards. For many Christians, The Lord’s Prayer holds a rich tradition of practice recited corporately each and every Sunday during worship. And although it may seem customary (perhaps even a tad banal given its repetitive formulary for today’s worship), it was in Jesus’ lifetime a very radical petition. In particular, the second line of the prayer, “Hallowed be your name...” represented a blasphemous and irreverent practice flying in the face of the Jewish belief that God’s name was too holy to be uttered aloud. Despite its revolutionary consequence, this second line expanded our vision of God. Join us today as Pastor Tony Minear, Ph.D. explores the second line of The Lord’s Prayer. Listen and discover how these four words can remind us of God’s essence in the commonplace. We may even be experiencing the sacred in our day to day lives, and not even know it.
