There’s nothing wrong with bringing our requests to God – he tells us to do it – but Jesus says if you want to learn to pray well – if you want to learn to do this right, here’s where you start: Start with who God is. Start by recognizing and celebrating his name. And of course it’s not just his name, it’s what his name represents. It’s recognizing his power, his majesty, his holiness, his goodness, his character.

The Lord's Prayer Experience
September 6, 2020 • Jonathan Wolfgang
Over the last six weeks, we have been walking through the Lord’s prayer. We have been learning how to pray and how to live. However, no matter how long we have been following Jesus, there are always opportunities to go deeper. So, over the course of this service, we are going to pray through this prayer section by section, as a time to think and reflect.
Temptation
August 30, 2020 • Jonathan Wolfgang
The key to overcoming temptation isn’t fighting it, it’s refocusing. Shift your thoughts. The Bible never says resist temptation – it says resist the tempter. There’s a big difference. The key is to refocus your attention because whatever gets your attention gets you. The more you fight something – the more you focus on it. So, when it comes to temptation, refocus rather than resist.
Forgive Us
August 23, 2020 • Scott Scruggs
To pray “forgive us our debt" implies not just that we have done something wrong, but that we cannot make those wrongs right on our own. That’s why Jesus went to the cross and willingly gave up his life. It was to cancel our debts. We can’t make our relational debts right on our own, but God can and has already forgiven them. All we must do is ask.
