Matthew 6:7-15 | Prayer. It’s foundational to Christian discipleship; it’s something we are encouraged to do throughout Scripture; and it’s something we practice often in worship. But what, after all, is prayer? And why recite the Lord’s Prayer – a prayer that is thousands of years old? Join us this weekend as we explore the nature of prayer, and as we open ourselves to the will of God.
