Of all things, he Said, “Dad”

By

He said, “Call me dad.”

Luke 11:1-13 Sermon Outline – PNSJ 10 a.m. – July 24, 2016

Big Idea: God gives us the world’s greatest gifts by the world’s greatest father – himself

#1: You were designed for prayer

  • Jesus said, “When you pray say…”

#2: We pray in a healthy father relationship

  • Glimpse/hint of Trinity: Jesus teaching about Father who’s greatest gift will be the Holy Spirit
  • We call God father-> RADICALLY GREATER THAN ANY EARTHLY FATHER CAN BE

#3: The greatest Gift our father God could give were Jesus and the Holy Spirit

  • “If you who are evil know.. how much more will heavenly father give Holy Spirit who ask..?”
  • Give Presence&Peace
  • Means Jesus is still able to teach us about prayer ->continuous, close relationship

Romans 8:26-27

  • Our heart can pray prayers our words and thoughts can’t always express

Challenge: Today is the Sabbath – there was a time where the whole land would be still/quiet today

Take at least 5 min: Pray something outloud AND deep breath (sighs too deep for words)

  • maybe find a prayer online / sneak away to a quiet space in need be

Rev. Michael Caines

I live to answer the question: “So how did you go from civil engineering to becoming a priest??” I have been here since 2008 when I arrived as the assistant. Since 2012 I have been leading the church as the Priest-in-Charge, and now as the full-time Lead Pastor. I grew up in Sussex, N.B. and then studied Civil Engineering at UNB Fredericton. After a brief period in youth ministry my wife and I moved to Uganda to teach and work at an Anglican Secondary School. After that, I studied at Wycliffe College in Toronto, ON and was ordained in 2008. I served with the Naval Reserve for a number of years but now as the Chaplain for 3 Field Artillery Regiment in Saint John and Woodstock, N.B. I love the outdoors and in my down time I enjoy running, sailing and playing music, but most importantly, time with my family.
