Lord, Teach Us to Pray (Prayer Part 1)

About this episode

This episode explores the importance of prayer as a spiritual discipline and how Jesus provides a model for it in the Sermon on the Mount.

Lord, Teach us to Pray Prayer (Part 1) Matthew 6:9-10 Most things in life don’t come naturally to us. We need a tour guide when we travel, a mentor to walk with us through parenting, and a teacher to help us learn how to read. In the same way, it’s unrealistic to assume that everything in the Christian life will come naturally the moment we step into faith. When we assume that everything will come naturally, we forget how much we need God to teach and shape us. God knows that prayer is a spiritual discipline – one that takes time, practice, and guidance as we learn how to honor Him when we approach His throne. Thankfully, He doesn’t leave us on our own. Jesus gives us a model for prayer right in the Sermon on the Mount. Join us this Sunday as we dive into our series on prayer and discover how prayer is first and foremost about God, the ruler of the universe
