National Repentance

Summary

This sermon emphasizes the corporate nature of prayer, using "our Father" and "forgive us" from the Lord's Prayer as examples. It connects this idea to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, urging reflection on historical sins, repentance, and lamenting their lingering effects. The takeaway is that we should confess and lament collective past sins, even those we didn't personally commit, as exemplified by biblical figures like Daniel and Ezra.
