This Sunday at King’s Cross, we begin our Summer Series, “Pray Like Jesus: The Lord’s Prayer.”
The words of the Lord’s Prayer are beautiful in their simplicity yet powerful in their application to the whole of life. For the next 12 weeks we will look at the phrases contained within this well known prayer so that we can see both the richness of each distinct part and the fullness of the whole prayer. It will be our goal to understand what Jesus was teaching his disciples and how what he taught them can be of great help to us in our daily lives.
Matthew 6:5-8
“Teach Us to Pray”
Read Matthew 6:5-8 and think about the following questions:
–What warning does Jesus give us about our motivation for doing good/righteous things?
–How is Jesus calling us to consider our motivations and search for approval?
What is the difference between the the hypocrites and gentiles prayers and how Jesus calls us to pray?
–If Jesus wants us to look to God as our Father as we pray then how should we look at ourselves as we pray to him? What difference could how we look at ourselves change the way we pray and live?
Songs we’ll sing include:
Let us Love and Sing and Wonder
Approach my Soul the Mercy Seat
