The Lords Prayer has been so mangled and changed it is no longer what Jesus is supposed to have said on the mount.
In the same sermon Jesus said, Be careful not to parade your religion before others; if you do, no reward awaits you with your Father in heaven.
I knew someone would let me get that in where thay can't deny it.

Another detail, except for the Lords prayer were ritual or daily things done by all Hebrews and were not be traced to Jesus. An example: John the Baptist and Baptism.

I find it quite sad that Christians choose to misunderstand a question when they can't or won't speak the truth.

Yes
To love God with all your heart and to manifest that love by loving people even if they are your enemy.
wait...
That's rarely in church services but it's more important than Baptism, bread and wine, foot washing, or being what people now call "Born again", since "Born again" is simply replacing ego with divine love.
Blessed Be!

Well there is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, to with the power to live a godly life, The Gospel of Salvation for all man kind everywhere; The hope in the Resurrection of the dead; Prayer to work via miracles or that are timely; The existence of the Christian Church; A body of believers married to Christ are called Christians.
That's just some things I can think of. Later gator.

The Lords Prayer is one prove in tracing Jesus Christ. We might think that others are just telling this prayer only in their mout but just come to think that lot of our fellowmen are really devoters. During the last supper bread and wine was been used to demonstrate Jesus. The Holy Family is one factor that Jesus Christ can be trace. That Jesus was truly concieve by human. And the church, remember that the church is not only a building or structure but it means that the churh are we. The church is likely to be the most significant factor that can trace Jesus. Without it, there would no anything that can trace Jesus....

Yes, at our church, we SING and we know Jesus did that: Matt.26:30; Mark 14:26; we have the JOY of the Lord and it is expressed in worship, laughter, song, encouragement: John 15:11; 17:13. We HEAL the sick and the broken hearted: Matt.8:7; 10:8; Luke 4:18;Luke 9:2. We PREACH the GOSPEL (good news): Mark 16:15; Luke 4: 18. We BELIEVE God's word (the gospel): Mark 1:15; Mark 11:23; We PRAY as He did: Matt.14:23; 19:13; Mark 6:46.
You need to come to one of our church services! Jesus is usually present in spirit and in truth! Oops! I almost forgot to include BAPTISM and PROPHESYING and SINCERE LOVE and READING THE WORD.., remember, He stood up in the temple and turned to Isaiah where there was a passage that prophesied HIM and HE read it. Thanks for allowing me to think about how wonderful our church services truly are!! Made my day!

Sure. You have the Liturgy of the Word, which is about reading and repeating not only Jesus' words, but also His ideas, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist, which you referred to as 'Bread and wine'. And since Jesus sang in the upper room, music ministry can also be counted. And of course, there is the Lord's Prayer, said during most Christian services.

Each part of the Catholic Mass has something that is traced to Jesus.
For example, there's the Act of Contrition and the forgiveness prayer following it, which reflects Jesus' forgiveness of sins in the Bible stories.
And since most Protestant services are directly taken from the Catholic mass (from the time of the Reformation) their services probably do the same, although I'm no longer familiar with current changes in those areas.

no.
Exd 25:9 According to all that I shew thee, [after] the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make [it].
We were given the pattern of the Kingdom of Yahweh in the 613 Laws that govern his Kingdom. We are now following a government of the people and by the people without Yahweh. Every single Law of Yahweh has deceptively been put away down to the keeping of Yahweh's seventh day holy.
Num 15:40 That ye may remember, and do all my Laws, and be holy unto Yahweh.
No Laws, no holiness.
Only unholiness as you see today.
7 And Yahweh said unto Samuyl, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

I've been in churches where I wondered the same thing.
I avoid those churches!
See what I mean? Here listen to any of these and tell me if the preaching reminds you of anything that Jesus did:

It's all about the message. If a church is not preaching Christ accurately, then they are not going to get any time from me.
