In his sermon on the sixth petition of the Lord's Prayer, "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil," Pastor Taylor emphasized the ongoing spiritual battle that believers face. He reminded his congregation of their own frailty and susceptibility to temptation, but reassured them of God's fortitude and ability to provide strength and protection. Pastor Taylor also spoke about the ultimate finale of this spiritual fight - the promise of eternal salvation and deliverance from evil through faith in Jesus Christ. He encouraged his listeners to rely on God's power and grace as they navigate the challenges and temptations of this world.
