Lord's Prayer Test 4/27

Hello Everyone, I hope you will have a blessed Holy Week and Easter. We will have a test in class on April 27th. There will be 20 questions over the Lord's Prayer. Come to class prepared to answer matching, fill in the blank, and questions that require COMPLETE sentences. You will receive 5 bonus points is you study with someone from your class. The test will cover the Introduction of the Lord's Prayer and all 7 petitions. (We will have a brief lesson on the conclusion to the Lord's Prayer in class after the test.)

• Review

A petition is a request that we ask God to answer. Review pages 174-177 in your Small Catechism or page 169 to 172 in the blue Catechism . (QUESTIONS WILL BE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THIS SECTION)

• Introduction:

Read Matthew 6:8 We know we will recieve what we ask for in the Lord's Prayer, because God knows our needs. How is God our Father?

• 1st Petition

Review the meaning of the first petition in your Small Catechism What is the second commandment? When we pray the 1st petition we pray that we keep the second commandment.

• 2nd Petition

What are the three Kingdoms that God rules over? Power, Grace, and Glory. (P-G-G) Read the answer to question 212 in your Small Catechism. As a believer you belong to the Kingdom of Power and Grace. The Saints and angels in heaven belong the Kingdom of Glory.

• 3rd Petition

Satan, the World, and our sinful nature stand against God's plans. Read John 6:40. Read 1 Peter 5:8 and Amos 1:2. Who is the real lion of the Bible? Who is the most powerful lion?

• 4th Petition

Be familiar with the Exodus 16 A few ways we recieve Daily bread are: food, clothing, shelter, and Communion (i.e. the forgiveness of sins) Remember: Our daily bread covers ALL of our needs.

• 5th Petition

What is the fifth petition? What do we ask for when we pray this petition? Why should I forgive others? I forgive others, because the forgiveness that Christ gave me is meant to flow out to others.

• 6th Petition

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-6a25Yo2wE&feature=related Watch the video above and review Matthew 4:1-11 What 3 temptations did Satan use on Jesus? Jesus is not just an example of how to resist temptation, but he shows us in Matthew 4 that he alone can resist Satan. What do we do if we are able to resist temptation? We give glory to God! What do we do if we fail to resist temptation? We pray the 5th petition!

• 7th Petition

In this petition we pray that God would protect us.

Be prepared to give me a couple sentences about a story IN THE BIBLE where God protected someone from danger. It can be any story where God protected someone, and it can be Old or New Testament.

What does this petition have to do with death? We pray that God would deliver us from Satan and bring us to himself when we die.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REVIEW FOR THE TEST PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL ME. IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED WHEN YOU COME TO CLASS, OR IF YOU HAVE NOT STUDIED YOU WILL STILL HAVE TO TAKE THE TEST.

BE PREPARED!

The Lord's Prayer Due 4/6

Watch the video posted below. Review the petitions 1-5 on page 19-21 in your small catechism. Write out a prayer in your own words that reflects the meaning of petition 1-5. An example of how to do this is posted below. http:// For example: 1st Petition Heavenly Father your name is above all names. Help me to keep your name holy by what I say and by what I do. 2nd Petition Lord, thank you for sending your King, Jesus, to earth. Send me your Holy Spirit so that I can spread your Kingdom. 3rd Petition You given me your 10 commandments. Help me to folllow them, but also remind me that not even Satan himself can stop your plans to save believers. 4th Petition Heavenly Father, there are so many things that I want. Help me to be happy with what I have, and continue to give me what I need. 5th Petition Your Son came to die and rise to forgive me. Help me to forgive others.
