Do you ever look at contemporary art that is worth millions of dollars and think “I don’t get it”? It’s interesting how what some consider masterpieces leave others bewildered, much like the most famous prayer in the Bible: The Lord’s Prayer. However, hidden within it lies a profound message that causes our hearts to answer questions that have the potential to lead us into greater conversation with God and reveals the masterpiece it really is.

Actively Living Out His Will

August 13, 2023 • Jordan Bochinski • Matthew 26:38–46

Do you ever wonder what God’s plan and purpose is for your life? This week we’ll break down Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane and how despite the agonizing anticipation of carrying the cross, he still asked for God’s will to be done in his life. Jesus warned us that faithfully following God’s will isn’t easy... But when our prayer lives become dependent on the Holy Spirit to strengthen us, we begin to more accurately and passionately follow His will.
