Luke, The Lord's Prayer
Asking for the Holy Spirit
Jesus finishes his instructions on prayer with an encouragement that God answers prayer. He is a kind, merciful, and gracious Father who will not without the best gifts from his children. Specifically, he will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. This message explores what that is as an encouragement to all of us to pray earnestly every day. This is the fifth and final part of this miniseries on prayer. Passage: Luke 11:11-13
Praying with Impudence
In this series on prayer we’ve seen what we are to pray for and this sermon speaks about how we ought to pray. Jesus calls his disciples to pray with impudence. This sermon explains what that is and urges us to pray in this manner as a means through which God will bountifully answer prayer. Passage: Luke 11:5-10
Ask God for This
The third in a series on the Lord’s Prayer, this message considers what we should ask for ourselves. What we see in the Lord’s teaching may surprise us but it directs us to what is good. May this encourage us to commune with the Lord in prayer and ask what is needful for us according to his will. Passage: Luke 11:3-4
Praying for God’s Honor and Kingdom
This sermon begins an examination of the Lord’s Prayer. We consider, “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.” Jesus is teaching us a priority in our prayers that concern God’s honor and his kingdom. This is a call for us to be doers and not just hearers of the word. This is the second sermon in a series on prayer. Passage: Luke 11:2
Teach Us to Pray
This is the first part of a series on prayer. After seeing Jesus in prayer the disciples wanted Jesus to teach them to pray. This sermon seeks to do the same thing: see Jesus in communion with God, in submission to the Father, and offering effectual prayers. Here is a call for us to ask the Lord to teach us to pray and commune with our heavenly Father. Passage: Luke 11:1-2
