"Teach Us To Pray"
This week we'll be looking at what Jesus has to say about prayer. The thought that has been hitting me over and over in my study this past week is the question, "Is this for real??"
Jesus says some amazing things about prayer that at times have left me wondering if he really meant that!
We studied Jesus' words in John 13 and 15 last week. In the middle of those two passages you read:
John 14:12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. 13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. 14 Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!
We've been looking at Jesus' teaching for a couple months now. The call to come and lay down your life is a strand running through nearly everything he says. This week we will look at why in the world we would do that: In laying down our lives we get God; we get to be with God; we get to commune with God!
Come this Sunday night and join together in marveling at Jesus' work to bring us to God and his work in opening the door for us to come into the presence of our Creator and speak words to the one who's words brought the world into existence.
Prepare your hearts and minds by reading the above passage along with Matthew 7.7-26. You may also want to spend some time flipping through the Psalms and looking at the ways men of faith in the past have prayed to God in their writings.
Looking forward to seeing you all AT MY HOUSE this week!
