020 Hallowed Be Thy Name (Lord’s Prayer series)

**Understanding "Hallowed Be Thy Name"**

- "Hallowed be Thy Name" is the first and most important petition in the Lord's Prayer, emphasizing the importance of glorifying God above all else
- To "hallow" means to sanctify or set apart as sacred, treating God with the utmost respect, honor, loyalty, and obedience

**Ways to Hallow God's Name**

- Thomas Watson provides 16 methods to hallow God's name, including professing His name, trusting in Him, worshipping Him, and living a holy life
- A simpler approach is to delight in God, making Him greater in our own eyes first, which naturally leads to sharing that delight with others

**The Importance of Spiritual Self-Nourishment**

- Christians must learn to feed themselves spiritually, not relying solely on pastors or churches for spiritual nourishment

**The Dual Nature of the 1st Petition**

- "Hallowed be Thy Name" is both a petition for God to glorify His own name and an invitation for Him to use us in hallowing His name
- By praying this, we offer ourselves as instruments for God to use in making His name great throughout the world
