8:15 Class

Our Lord's Prayer

Leader: Pastors

Overall Theme: Our Lord Still Teaches Us to Pray

Our Lord Jesus first taught His people His prayer two thousand years ago. We believe it has never been more relevant to the needs of God’s people than it is today. We will look at the nine sections of the Lord’s Prayer. As we do so over a twelve-week period, we will dig around in the Scriptures, looking into the lives of real people of God as they talked to Him in prayer and as they received good things from Him—many times, even before they asked. Together we will be refreshed by God’s care for us and the truth that He has always been more ready to give than we are to ask.

Goals of this study:

• Appreciate Jesus’ gift of The Lord’s Prayer
• Realize the relevance of Jesus’ 2,000 year old gift
• Recognize ourselves and our own life-situations in different Bible characters we meet along the way.

Not Too Busy To Pray

Leader: Chuck Bahn, DCE

Throughout the Prayer Emphasis, “Lord, Teach Us to Pray”, we have heard of the many blessings of prayer. There are also challenges to having time to pray and experiencing the benefits of ongoing and consistent prayer. This class will help us address some of the challenges we have in our fast paced culture of developing the habit of prayer. We will also have opportunities to experience ways we can incorporate prayer into our lives.

Goals of this study:

• Look at our own lives to see how “life” might be crowding out our praying relationship with God.
• Determine ways we can bring the power of prayer into the various aspects of our lives.
• Practice prayer in our own lives to find more consistent ways in which we can pray.
• To continue to grow in a life long journey of prayer.
