Bringing Heaven Down (2 of 5)
Series: The Lord's Prayer
Scott Maze
Luke 11:2
More than 260 students went to camp with NRHBC this summer and 26 children made some kind of decision for Christ during children's camp. Isn't that great news!
Series Introduction
This is the second week for us to look at the Lord's Prayer. And it's the richest single source in the entire Bible of information on how to pray. Not the only place where prayer is taught but it the richest place to go for teaching on prayer. The Lord's Prayer is but 38 words in its original form in Luke's gospel but Matthew has a longer version that is 57 words in the original. Again, 38 words that change the very way we understand God, ourselves, and the world.
Anyone who is serious about Jesus will want to grow in prayer. And I want to help all of us develop a powerful prayer life. It's during these summer weeks, I want to encourage you by showing you that God hears prayer. The most influential religious leader in the history of the world was once asked, ''How do you connect with God?'' And He gave us the Lord's Prayer. ''This is how you connect to God.'' Think of it: what prayer can have greater power with God the Father that a prayer the comes directly from the lips of Jesus.
Today's Scripture
Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, ''Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.'' 2 And he said to them, ''When you pray, say:
''Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread,
4 and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.'' (Luke 11:1-4)
Intro to Lord's Prayer
For some, prayer has become more duty than delight. It feels more like pulling weeds in your flower beds and less like the expectation you feel knowing your favorite TV show is coming on soon. Still others, prayer often comes when we find oursel ...
