How should I pray?

How should I pray?

Ever feel unsure how to pray or uncertain what to say to God? Or just like the whole concept of talking with Him is a struggle? So did Jesus’ early followers! When they asked Him to teach them, He responded with a concise yet powerful prayer commonly called “The Lord’s Prayer.” Whether you grew up reciting this prayer or have never heard it before, all of us can find it emptied of its power for life and godliness…if we don’t seek a deep understanding of the rich truths it contains. Prayer 101 is an opportunity to internalize this prayer for ourselves and pray it – with understanding – back to God, our loving and gracious Father.

This Week's Sermon: How should I pray?
Prayer isn't a tool to impress people

Gentle and Lowly

Christians know what Jesus Christ has done―but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is “gentle and lowly in heart.” This book reflects on these words, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who he is for sinners and sufferers today. Written by Dane Ortlund
