Join us this Sunday, January 24, for the sermon “Hallowed Be Your Name,”
the next sermon in our new series, Teach Me To Pray.
“Teach me!” These words are often uttered by children, who see someone older and more experienced doing activities they have yet to learn. Whether it’s riding a bike, playing an instrument, or playing a game or sport, “teach me” expresses the desire to know, do, and understand that which is currently a mystery.
After watching the intimacy Jesus shared with His Father, as he would go off by himself to pray for hours on end, the disciples had a simple request, expressing not only their need to learn, but ours as well: “Teach me to pray.”
Starting this Sunday, join us for a six-week sermon series, as we explore Jesus’ answer to this request, “Teach me to pray,” considering each petition of the Lord’s Prayer. Not only will we learn from this prayer, but our desire is that, like a child learning to ride a bike, we will also learn to pray, as Jesus has taught us.

Luke 11:1 (ESV)
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.”
Matthew 6:9-13 (ESV)
Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
