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.
