Title: How to Pray (3 of 5)
Series: Sync
Author: Steve Jones
Text: Matthew 6
SERMON SUMMARY: The Lord's Prayer is our template. Three ways to pray the Lord's prayer: 1) Classic. 2) Advanced. 3) Professional.
Introduction: October is "Pastor Appreciation Month." The elders are the "pastors" of the church.
I Peter 5:1-2 "To the elders among you...Shepherd God's flock. Watch over it."
All three New Testament words for "elder" are in those two verses and are used interchangeably throughout the Bible.
Elder - Presbyteros
Shepherd/pastor - Poimano
Overseer/Watch over - Episkopeo
The elders are to pray for the church.
James 5:14 "Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you."

Our Father in heaven - Hallowed by your name.
Your Kingdom come - Your will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts - As we forgive our
debtors. Lead us not into temptation.
But deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom, and the power,
And the glory forever. Amen.
I see two primary contexts in which people would want to pray the "Lord's Prayer Classic."
First, if I'm a newbie who hasn't had any experience praying and don't know where to begin. Begin here. If you have not been prayi ...
