Lift Your Heart

July 7, 2024 • Marcus Stenson • Mark 1:32–35, Psalm 88

Continuing our study of the SKILLS of Jesus, we explore the importance of prayer in the life of a disciple through the concept of "lifting your heart" to God. Prayer is not just a mechanical act but a deep, trusting relationship with God. Jesus modeled this through His own life, often retreating to desolate places to pray and lift His heart to the Father. Marcus unpacks the four key areas where Jesus lifted His heart: His plans, His pains, His people, and God's promises. By following Jesus' lead, we can grow how He grew spiritually, and align ourselves more closely with God's mission for us.
