Join us as we kick off our new year with a sermon series on prayer. For most Christians, if you were to ask what they want to grow in, prayer would be high on many people's list. Part of the reason we tend to lack discipline or desire in prayer though is because we're not going to the Father with the right heart posture or motivation. Many see prayer as a task to accomplish. But Jesus' famous prayer, the Lord's Prayer, would open up with a completely different tone. Communion, intimacy is the first rhythm of prayer. And if we can see this, it might just change our lives! Do you feel intimacy with the Father in prayer?

This week, Jesus shifts from communion with God to mission with and for God. Intimacy breeds mission, as we seek more of Jesus on this earth. Jesus loves the Kingdom of God, talks about it often, and wants us to both pray for it, but also bring it, in partnership with Him. How does prayer springboard mission? How do we not grow weary in the work, but excited for the work, because of prayer? Also, we get to tangibly see mission played out as we launch out another church plant!

This week we talk about what it means to ask God to give us daily bread and forgive our sins. We'll talk about the importance of dependence on God as a means to cultivate intimacy with him in the wilderness of life.
