Each week in this series, we will look at the way our culture views a specific desire. We will then turn our attention to Scripture and what it says about this desire. With those things established, we will look again to Scripture for clear direction on how to reorder our disordered desires, leading us back to creating and enjoying beauty. This week we focused on Suffering.

This week we focused on Food.
We are made to create and enjoy beauty with God and each other. This means He has placed within each of us very specific desires for us to glorify and enjoy Him, together. Sin and its accompanying feelings of shame, loss, and guilt destroy and distort these desires, creating trust structures that cannot support and sustain us. This week we begin the journey of identifying how to reorder our desires with God’s original design.
One of the neglected pieces of the Lord’s Prayer is the fact that this prayer is a community prayer. Because of this, prayer is not just something we do on our own, for ourselves. As a church, a people and place, we are invited to pray for one another. In this message we will seek to consider who is praying for us and how we can be praying for other people.
The back half of the Lord’s Prayer reveals to us the simple task of asking God when we pray. Asking is a good, normal, essential piece to our relationship with Jesus. Today we wrestled with why we don’t ask, and, the reality that God is truly listening to and answering our prayers.
This week we continue our look at the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6 where we'll think about what it means to pray that God's name be hallowed.
Eugene Peterson once wrote, “The task [of prayer] is not to get God to do something I think needs to be done, but to become aware of what God is doing so that I can respond to it and participate and take delight in it.” This week, we invited God to show us what He’s doing and where we can participate in His kingdom work through prayer.
On Father’s Day, we journeyed into the Lord’s Prayer, or as the Catholics call it, the “Our Father.” We sought to listen for the voice of the Father speaking to us.
When Jesus taught the Sermon on the Mount, He started with the motives of His listeners as they approached prayer, prior to teaching them how to pray. This week, we followed this example and wrestled with our motives when it comes to prayer.
We start our summer teaching series with a simple call to become a people and place of prayer.
