The Lord’s Prayer

Scripting the Flip - Sermon on the Mount
Written By Lexie Miller

Lead pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.

Similar to last week's topic of generosity, Jesus calls us to pray in secret. There are many ways we might subtly use prayer or spiritual practices to seek the approval of others, but ultimately this is a poor substitute for a genuine connection with God.

Prayer starts with God and ends with us. If we can follow the model of prayer that Jesus gives us, we will have a much greater reward, found in an intimate and vulnerable place of dependence on the God who loves us deeply.
