If you were learning to swim, wouldn’t it be great to have Olympian Katie Ledecky teach you? Or how about learning to paint from Michelangelo? Baseball from Buster Posey? What about learning prayer from Jesus Christ?
This summer we have been growing in prayer through our Learning to Pray teaching series. The lessons on using the Bible’s own prayers to deepen our prayer life have been rich! This week, we turn to a prayer of Jesus, perhaps the most famous prayer in history: The Lord’s Prayer. And yet we will move past its familiar, at times stagnant, words to hear Jesus’ fresh invitation to life-transforming prayer. Let’s learn to pray from our Lord.
