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

Christ Is the Best Portion

There are many good things we can give ourselves to. Jesus’ teaching in this passage is a challenge for us to make sure we’re doing the best thing. We want to do what is excellent, what is great, what is best. Christ is the best and our highest pursuit and so we consider why this is and what this means. Passage: Luke 10:38-42
