Learning To Pray: A Deep Dive Into The Lord's Prayer

This sermon explores Jesus' teaching on prayer through the Lord's Prayer, examining why the disciples—despite being raised in a prayer-saturated Jewish culture—asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. The message unpacks each stanza of the Lord's Prayer, revealing how it contains all of Jesus' teaching in six strategic petitions. The sermon emphasizes that prayer is not merely personal devotion but spiritual warfare, practical trust, and active partnership with God's kingdom purposes. It addresses the uncomfortable truths about forgiveness, the necessity of trusting God for daily provision, and the importance of keeping first things first by prioritizing our relationship with God before presenting our needs. The teaching concludes with practical applications for using the Lord's Prayer as a framework for daily prayer life.
