Hello, My Name Is ...

From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals Himself through various names, each rich with meaning for us. We begin a new study series on the names of God with this introductory session.

Lord, Teach Us To Pray-The One-Word Prayer Everyone Prays

Everyone who talks to the Lord has prayed this one-word prayer, it’s the prayer of “Why?”.  God wants our questions, and welcomes our concerns; we look at why He can be trusted with them in this closing session of our series on prayer

The closing benediction of the Lord's Prayer reminds us of four very important foundational truths about both prayer and our Father in Heaven that we are praying to. We'll look at each in this week's session.

Lord, Teach Us To Pray-Lead Us Not Into Temptation But Deliver Us From Evil

This phrase from the Lord’s model prayer for His disciples focuses on requesting spiritual protection which all believers need, every day.  We’ll look at the source of temptation, the purpose of temptation and how God instructs us to deal with it when it comes our way.

This may be the most significant request in this entire model prayer, and one of the most difficult to pray at the same time. We'll look at this portion of the Lord's Prayer as it instructs us to pray for the forgiveness we all need and seek

The problem with life is, it is so 'daily'. Jesus instructs us to pray each day, for our daily provision; both natural and supernatural.

Lord, Teach Us To Pray-Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done

What exactly was Jesus instructing us to pray for concerning His kingdom?  What does it mean to pray “Thy will be done”?  We’ll dive into this pray petition in this week’s session.

What did Jesus mean when He taught us, as His followers, to pray "Hallowed be Thy Name" to the Father? It involves two actions on our part to fulfill this prayer request, as we will see from the Scriptures.

Lord, Teach Us To Pray - Our Father, Which art in Heaven.

Jesus instructs his followers to begin our prayer by stating the most intimate, personal relationship of all, that of a father and child. There are tremendous blessings associated with our adoption as children of the Heavenly Father, capsulated beautifully in these opening words of the Lord's Prayer
