Title: Teach Us to Pray (37)
Series: Luke
Author: Zach Terry
Text: Luke 11:1-13
ANNOUNCE:
- Congrats to Mrs. Jennifer and Mike Alton - they were married this week.
- Informational Meeting about the Revelation Tour Sept. 21-30 immediately following the second service.
INTRODUCTION: Think of what it must have been like to be one of the disciples walking with Jesus throughout his three and a half years of Earthly ministry.
- To hear the most excellent sermon ever preached - the Sermon on the Mount
- To witness those tormented by demons suddenly and dramatically delivered.
- To see tears fill the eyes of a man born blind, as the first thing he ever sees is the face of Jesus.
- To hear the rejoicing of a mom and dad as their little girl is raised from the dead.
- Or how about sitting in amazement as a little boy's sack lunch feeds a multitude?
- Or to feel the gentle breeze that followed after Jesus, the Master of the Wind, commands the storm to "hush, be still."
Yet, when the opportunity came for his followers to make a request of Him. They did not ask him to teach them how to preach, or to teach them how to cast out demons, or to teach them how to open blind eyes, or how to multiply food, or how to calm the storm, nor even how to raise the dead.
The only thing we have a record of the disciples ever asking Jesus to teach them is found in our text this morning, "Lord, teach us to pray."
It makes one wonder, could it be, perhaps, by chance, that they saw a connection between Jesus' public displays of power and his private practice of prayer?
If that is true, could it be that the thing you really need is not what you THINK you need... more money, better health, a new job, a new spouse.... Could it be that the thing standing between you and the life God intended when he knits you together in your mother's womb... is very simply... you need to learn how to pray.
Let's learn together....
