In this message, Pastor Eric continues exploring "the Lord's Prayer" with the line: "Give us today our daily bread."
By exploring the economic instability of Jesus' day--95% or more of people in Galilee were poor or destitute--especially for those who relied on fishing in the Sea of Galilee for income, like many of Jesus' disciples, this simple prayer takes on whole new meaning.
As we begin to imagine ourselves into the world of Jesus--into the economic instability, the political power plays, and the everyday anxiety and overwhelm about what this meant for Jesus' followers, their families, and their neighbors--powerful connections with our own lives begin to form.
