CVBC Matthew 6:13 "Lead us not into temptation"

This sermon explored the final petition of the Lord's Prayer, reminding us that we live in a world full of both temptation and evil. Jesus instructs us to pray this way because we're prone to forget that we need God's leadership in every area of our lives. We examined how temptation comes both internally (from our own sinful desires) and externally (from the enemy of our souls), and how prayer itself is a weapon in the spiritual war we face daily. This petition acknowledges that we have a real enemy in Satan who seeks to rob us of our joy in Christ, but it also points us to the ultimate deliverance we have through Jesus, our Good Shepherd who was tempted in every way yet never sinned.
