Don’t Give Up Praying (5 of 5)
Series: The Lord Prayer
Scott Maze
Luke 11:5-13
Two teams are away from this morning: middle school students are in St. Louis area doing door to door canvassing and block parties. Second team is in Vancouver at the Point Church - our church's flagship church plant. Let's celebrate the people there and pray for them together.
Series Introduction
Today, we put a bow on the series, Eleven Two: We Pray. He Moves. This prayer has such a profound significance for believers both historically (more on this later) but also in our day as well. The prayer unites Christians from around the globe: Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestants like us.

Why This Series?
1) I want to help you develop a powerful prayer life.

Every single week we've been looking at the different phrases of the Lord's Prayer. And it's been a time of growth in the life of our church. Many of you have expanded your prayer life in significant ways. Parents have told me how they witnessed their kids reciting the Lord's Prayer to one another in the backyard. My prayer life has changed.

Right after He spoke the words of His prayer to His followers, Jesus told a story about prayer that you need to hear.
But before we get to Jesus' story, here's a qu ...
