Always Pray & Don't Give Up 13, Jesus Lived Prayer
The primary purpose of prayer is not to get God to do what we think God ought to do or give us what we want. The primary purpose of prayer isn't even to go get the answer-for-the-moment (though, we’ll keep praying for direction, guidance, and peace — but it’s not the primary purpose.) The primary purpose of prayer isn’t to get stuff at all. The primary purpose of prayer is to be properly formed in Christ.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
