Podcasts about hallowed be your name

Lead Pastor Will Ford teaches that the Lord's Prayer is not merely a prayer to recite but a framework that reveals how believers encounter God as both Father and King. Focusing on “Hallowed Be Your Name,” he shows that prayer begins with honoring God's holiness, carrying His name faithfully, and aligning with His kingdom purposes rather than our own. Through biblical and historical context, Pastor Will challenges believers to embrace their identity as sons and daughters, partner with God through prayer, and become living answers to the prayer, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done.”

So often our prayers are centered around asking God to accomplish our will. We may tack a “Thy will be done” on to our prayer but is that what we really want? As we continue to study the Lord's Prayer, Pastor Ricky reminds us that this prayer should reflect a state of our heart. When we hallow God's name, we put Him in a place above all else. That means His will begins to take precedence to ours, even if it means temporary hardship or discomfort it, becomes our foremost desire."Mighty Fortress" by Sovereign Grace Music, used with permission.

This week Pastor Mike continues our series through the Lord's prayer explaining what it means to 'hallow' the Lord's name

When we recite the Lord's Prayer it's easy just to ramble off the words with little thought of what we're saying. Certain phrases may stand out but ‘hallowed be your name' isn't usually one of them. As Pastor Ricky explains, this phrase is much more meaningful than it's usually given credit for. It represents setting God above all else that battles for our heart's affection. Today's message will continue to reveal the heart of what Jesus intended when He taught His disciples this way of praying."Mighty Fortress" by Sovereign Grace Music, used with permission.

Well, we managed to get through the first two words of the Lord's Prayer last week. It was an important foundation for this week, when we looked at the next three words; "Hallowed be Your Name". What does hallow mean? It's an old word we never hear in everyday English but it's still in our Bibles because it's a very important word and there's no modern equivalent for it.

A devotional delivered at the prayer meeting of Emmanuel Reformed Baptist Church (SeaTac, Washington).

Continuing with the Lord's Prayer, we consider the first petition that God's name would be hallowed. God has acted in history to reveal his name, and this finds its ultimate expression in Jesus the Christ, who having been raised to the Father's right hand, has been given the name above all names. We'll see how God's name is hallowed on earth as the saviour Jesus is proclaimed and worshipped.

What are we really asking with this phrase? What does it mean for God's name to be made holy? How should this phrase shape our lives and our prayers? Evening Bible teaching by Josh Musson on the 3rd May 2026.

Hallowed Be Your Name Learning to Pray with Wonder, Confidence, and Peace Jesus does something deeply intentional in the Lord's Prayer. Before He teaches His followers to ask God for anything, He teaches them to remember who God is. Prayer is not meant to begin with panic, requests, or anxiety—it begins with worship. Coleton explains that when Jesus says, “Hallowed be Your name,” He is teaching us to fill our minds and hearts with the greatness, faithfulness, and power of God before we ever bring Him our needs. This message is an invitation to become people who truly pray—not mechanically, not cautiously, but with boldness, awe, confidence, and trust. “Our Father in Heaven” — Remember Who You're Talking To Matthew 6:9–13 “This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name…'” Coleton begins by reminding the church why this prayer series matters so much to him personally. About ten years ago, he began pursuing a deeper prayer life because he wanted prayer to become more than a religious duty—he wanted to love it. During that journey, one quote changed the way he viewed prayer forever. Quote “Satan dreads nothing but prayer. His one concern is to keep the saints from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, he mocks our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray.” — Samuel Chadwick That quote helped Coleton realize why prayer often feels difficult. The enemy is not intimidated by human strength, intelligence, or activity. He trembles at the power of God accessed through prayer. Prayer matters because God moves through it. Last week's focus in the series was the phrase “Our Father in heaven.” Jesus first teaches us that prayer begins by remembering who we are talking to: not a distant force, but a loving Father who welcomes His children. Now Jesus takes us one step further. “Hallowed Be Your Name” — Prayer Begins with Worship Coleton explains that “hallowed” means to treat God's name as holy, weighty, glorious, and worthy of worship. Quote “‘Hallowed be your name' means ‘let [your name] be regarded as holy.' It is not so much a petition as an act of worship; the speaker, by his words, exalts the holiness of God.” — Tremper Longman III Quote “Hallowing is an active kind of praying—honoring, adoring, and naming the greatness of God. While ‘Our Father' is a reminder of God's intimacy; ‘hallowed' is a reminder of His incomprehensible greatness.” — Tyler Staton Coleton explains that hallowing God's name looks like: Saying what is true about God Remembering what He has done Repeating what He has promised Declaring what is possible with Him This kind of prayer fills the heart with worship before requests are ever made. The Psalms Show Us What Hallowing Looks Like Psalm 44 — Remembering God's Power Scripture “With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our ancestors… it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face…” — Psalm 44:2–3 The psalmist spends enormous time recounting God's past faithfulness. He talks about victories God gave, enemies God defeated, and promises God fulfilled. Coleton points out something fascinating: much of this prayer is telling God things He already knows. Why? Not because God needs reminding—but because we do. We forget who He is. We forget what He has done. We forget His power, His promises, and His faithfulness. Hallowing God's name recenters the soul. 1. Hallowing His Name Expands Our Vision of What Is Possible One of the main effects of worshipful prayer is that it stretches our faith. Quote “The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something and enter into God's realm where everything is possible. He specializes in the impossible.” — Corrie ten Boom Coleton says many Christians pray extremely safe prayers: “Keep them safe.” “Help them have a good day.” “Bless this meal.” Those prayers are not wrong—but if we truly believe we are speaking to the God of the impossible, why do we so rarely ask Him for impossible things? Hallowing His name enlarges our imagination for what God can do. Hezekiah's Prayer — Worship Before Deliverance Scripture 2 Kings 19:14–19 King Hezekiah is surrounded by an enormous Assyrian army. Humanly speaking, defeat seems certain. But notice how he prays: “Lord, the God of Israel… you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth…” Before asking for rescue, Hezekiah hallows God's name. He reminds himself that Assyria may be powerful, but God rules every kingdom on earth. Only after worship does he ask for deliverance. Coleton explains that worship gave Hezekiah courage to pray boldly in an impossible situation. The Apostles in Acts 4 — Worship Produces Boldness Scripture Acts 4:24–30 After Peter and John are arrested and threatened, the disciples gather to pray. What is shocking is what they don't pray for. They do not pray for safety. They do not pray for persecution to stop. Instead they pray: “Enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders…” Why? Because they began by hallowing God's name. They remembered that God is sovereign, powerful, and able to use evil for good. Worship gave them courage. Even Jesus Prayed This Way Scripture Mark 14:36 “Abba, Father… everything is possible for you.” In Gethsemane, Jesus Himself begins by declaring what is true about the Father: everything is possible for Him. Coleton emphasizes that hallowing God's name even led Jesus to pray honestly and boldly. Hallowing Changes the Way We Pray Coleton gives vivid examples of what this can look like in everyday life. Instead of praying weak, hopeless prayers, we pray with remembrance: “You are the God who split the Red Sea—make a way for me.” “You heard Hannah's prayer after years of waiting—hear mine too.” “You turned Saul into Paul—change this person's heart.” “You used evil for Joseph's good—redeem this painful situation.” Hallowing God's name teaches us to pray according to God's character and history. Asking Big Things Honors God Quote “Our God is so good, gracious, and powerful that we can never ask or assume too much of him. We don't offend Him with large requests; we offend Him with small ones!” — J.D. Greear Coleton shares the story of Alexander the Great generously granting a soldier's extravagant request because the request honored both his wealth and generosity. In the same way, bold prayer honors God because it assumes He is both powerful and good. 2. Hallowing His Name Produces Peace, Rest, and Confidence Hallowing God's name does not only increase boldness—it also calms fear. Psalm 46 — Worship Leads to Fearlessness Scripture “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1 Then comes the result: “Therefore we will not fear…” — Psalm 46:2 The psalmist's peace flows from remembering who God is. Coleton explains that worship anchors the soul in unstable moments. Psalm 23 — David's Confidence Came from God's Character Scripture “The Lord is my shepherd…” Outcome: “I lack nothing.” Scripture “You are with me…” Outcome: “I will fear no evil.” David's peace was connected to his remembrance of God's presence and care. Coleton and Rainey's Story of Fear and Faith Coleton shares a deeply personal moment when someone falsely accused him and tried to get him fired. Sitting in the car devastated, he and Rainey began hallowing God's name together. They remembered: God sustaining their long-distance relationship God healing their relationship during difficult seasons God opening ministry doors unexpectedly God never once failing them As they remembered God's faithfulness, peace slowly replaced fear. Their conclusion became: “If God has been faithful before, He will be faithful again.” And God ultimately took care of them. Hallowing God's Name in Real Life Coleton gives practical examples of how worship reshapes fear: When Facing Enemies God used Saul's attacks to prepare David for kingship. No enemy can stop God's plan. When Struggling with Sin God promises grace greater than our failures. Scripture “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” When Worried About Provision Jesus said the Father cares for birds and flowers—and values His children far more. When Life Feels Chaotic God still reigns over nations and history. When Facing Death Jesus transformed death from ultimate loss into the doorway to eternal life. Hallowing His name teaches believers to trust God in every circumstance. Jesus Prepares Us Before We Ask Coleton points out something powerful in the Lord's Prayer: Jesus has not told us to ask for anything yet. Before requests come: We remember He is Father. We remember He is holy. We remember His power. We remember His faithfulness. Only then are we prepared to pray boldly and trustingly. Practical Ways to Practice Hallowing His Name 1. Begin Prayer with Worship Coleton encourages using worship music to shape the heart before praying. Songs mentioned: “Good Plans” — Red Rocks Worship “Same God” — Elevation Worship “Won't Stop Now” — Elevation Worship “Do It Again” — Elevation Worship “I Believe” — Charity Gayle “The Truth” — Megan Woods “Don't Fight Alone” — Jon Reddick 2. Remember God's Promises in Scripture The Bible teaches us what God has done before so we can trust what He will do again. Coleton emphasizes that Scripture fuels confident prayer. 3. Remember God's Faithfulness in Your Own Life Reflect on: Ways God provided Times He protected Seasons He healed Moments He restored Remembering past faithfulness strengthens present trust. 4. Practice Gratitude Coleton references One Thousand Gifts and how gratitude journals helped cultivate trust in God's faithfulness. The more we notice God's goodness, the easier it becomes to trust Him for impossible things. Closing Challenge Quote “Powerful prayer begins with adoration.” — Tyler Staton The heart of this sermon is simple but transformative: Jesus wants His people to pray with power. And powerful prayer begins by hallowing the name of God—remembering who He is, what He has done, and what is still possible with Him. Discipleship Group Questions Why do you think Jesus teaches us to worship before asking for things in prayer? How could that reshape your prayer life? What are some “safe prayers” you tend to pray? What impossible or faith-filled prayers might God be inviting you to begin praying? Which story or example from this sermon encouraged you the most personally, and why? Where have you seen God's faithfulness in your own past? How can remembering those moments strengthen your trust in your current season? What practical step can you take this week to begin “hallowing His name” more intentionally in prayer? Culture of Gospel Share this with someone in your life who doesn't know Jesus Christianity is not about pretending to be strong—it's about discovering that there is a God so loving, powerful, and faithful that you can bring Him your impossible situations and your deepest fears. Jesus teaches us that prayer is not talking into the dark, but speaking to a Father who hears, cares, and still changes lives today.

"Hallowed" is not a word that shows up in everyday conversation but Jesus placed it at the center of how His people are meant to pray. To hallow God's name is not a step to check off. It is the orientation of a whole life. This week we look at the lives of David and Paul to explore what it looks like when God becomes not just present in our hearts, but the prize of them.

Jesus continues to teach us how to pray by reminding us of who it is that we're praying to: A God who is holy. And, as we approach him, we are reminded that his holiness is not only overwhelming but also our greatest comfort.Application Questions: 1. How do you view God when you come to him in prayer?2. How does the combination of God's fatherhood and his holiness shape how you relate to him?3. How might meditating on his holiness bring about his name being hallowed in your heart?4. How might you strive to live in a way that hallows his name in the world?

“Matthew 6:7-9 | How to Pray – Part 1: ‘Hallowed Be Your Name'” from Lakeshore Baptist Church by Pastor David Green. Released: 2026. Genre: Preaching. The post Matthew 6:7-9 | How to Pray – Part 1: “Hallowed Be Your Name” appeared first on Lakeshore Baptist Church.

Prayer begins with worship, not requests. When Jesus teaches us to pray "hallowed be your name," He's instructing us to honor God's holiness before asking for anything. God's name represents His character and deserves our highest reverence. We honor His name through careful speech, mindful choices about entertainment, and living as Christ-bearers in the world. Worship shifts our perspective from our problems to God's power, helping us see life correctly by seeing God properly. True prayer aligns us with God rather than trying to align God with us.

Continuing our new series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD'S PRAYER, Pastor Kuulei takes a deeper dive into the second line, “Hallowed by Your Name.”  It is probably the line that is most glossed over and least thought of, but what does it really mean, and what is the significance of hallowing God's name?Key Scriptures:Matthew 6:9, Psalm 34:1-3, Psalm 103:1-5, Psalm145:1-7, Daniel 4:37, Luke 1:46-47; 49, Isaiah 64:6, Psalm 86:15

Acts 4:23-31 | What is our greatest need to be a faithful gospel witness? What is our greatest hurdle to a life of faithfully sharing Christ with the lost? It isn't more training.  It is more boldness. In Acts 4 we see the church gather in the face of threats to ask the Lord not for more safety, or more training, but to ask for more boldness.  This Sunday, as the final sermon in our prayer series and the final session of our Sent Conference, we will look at the prayer, the power, and the perseverance of prayer-fueled witness. 

Jon introduces our new talk series, Teach Us To Pray, where we'll be using The Lord's Prayer to become kingdom people, bringing our inner and outer worlds into sync with God's wills and ways. In this first talk, Jon shows us that God is both close and intimate (“Father”) and exalted beyond comprehension (“in heaven”). Prayer begins with a relationship rather than a request, a relationship that is both close and beyond.

Various Passages in Acts | The old adage goes, "The family that prays together, stays together." It's true for church families as well: The church that prays together, stays together. There is unity, fellowship, joy, and missional oneness that comes as we devote ourselves to prayer together. We will take a walk through the book of Acts to look at the times the church gathered for prayer together and the circumstances that drove them to corporate prayer. This must deepen our own convictions for the priority of corporate prayer.

Matthew 6:5-13 | E.M. Bounds in his classic, Power Through Prayer, notes that prayer is great spiritual work, and our flesh opposes great spiritual work. This is so true. We long to lean into this great spiritual work in a deeper way because we know there is a depth of communion, transformation, and enjoyment with the Lord as our prayer life with Him deepens.  This Sunday we turn to Jesus' teaching on prayer in the Sermon on the Mount to prepare us for a deeper prayer life in 2026.

“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 God is perfectly holy. When Jesus teaches us to pray, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,” he is teaching us to pray that we, and all who are around us, will see God's glory and holiness. Nearly every day, 50 or more students enter the Interfaith Centre at Medicine Hat College, where I work as a chaplain. They come from dozens of countries and from many religious backgrounds, or none at all. They come for free coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and snacks. They come for a quiet place to sit, rest, or study. They come for friendship and fellowship. Sometimes they even come to see me! My prayer for our campus ministry is simply this: “Father in heaven, hallowed be your name! In every visit to the Interfaith Centre and in every interaction with the campus minister, may your name be hallowed. May your glory be seen as clearly as Isaiah saw it so many years ago!” The apostle Paul wrote, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20). These words apply to every one of us who follows Jesus. So we need to ask, “Who and what do people see and experience when they come into my presence or our presence?” And by God's grace, may people see the glory of the King living in us. Lord God, hallowed be your name. As the people around us get to know us, may they see your glory shine through us in all we think, say, and do. In our lives, Lord, be glorified today! For Jesus' sake, Amen.

Jesus' disciples observed the vibrant and connected life with God that Jesus lived, a life clearly fueled by his times spent in prayer. Inspired by what they witnessed, they asked, "Lord, teach us to pray." What we now call the Lord's Prayer was Jesus' response, offered as a template for prayer to his first disciples. Perhaps you learned the Lord's Prayer in your youth, or perhaps you've prayed it occasionally before a sporting event, or maybe you have no prior experience with prayer at all. Regardless, this series aims to guide you in cultivating a life with God through the practice of prayer.
