The Passage

Matthew 6:9b

The One Thing

Our Father is worthy

Know

• K1 G1 What does your name mean? (If your name doesn’t have a meaning, what would you like your name to mean?

Grow

• G1 What do you think of the Message translation of ‘hallowed by your name’: “Reveal who You are”?
• G2 Dan said that someone’s name is a shorthand way of referring to “everything about them” (their character / personality etc). How does this help us understanding the meaning of Matt 6:19?
• G3 In Exodus 3:15, what did God reveal about Himself when He told Moses that His name is “I AM” or “the self-existent one” (Yahweh in Hebrew). If this is God’s proper name, why do you think we don’t use it very much?
• G4 Dan said that “hallowed be your name” is not about Him becoming more holy, but refers to US changing OUR view of God. How can the idea of us “coming into God’s orbit / gravitational field” help us apply this?
• G5 Dan said praying Matthew 6:19 is us saying to God “Change me!” Consider how praying “hallowed be your name” might be both exciting and scary at the same time.
• G6 In Exodus 3:15, God says that His name is “I am”. In John 8:58, Jesus calls Himself “I am”. In Philippians 2:9-11 Jesus’s name is exalted above all. Allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you as you connect the dots.

Show

• S1 Meditate on Philippians 2:6-11. Notice each time you see God’s nature or name referred to. Pray this back to God as a prayer. Memorize it. Internalize it.
