HEAR THE WORD Luke 11:1-13 "I'd rather be able to pray than to be a great preacher; Jesus Christ never taught His disciples to preach, but only how to pray." - D. L. Moody Pray, Focused on His Kingdom (v. 2) Pray, Focused on What I Truly Need (vv. 3-4) a) (v. 3) b) (v. 4a) “God promises to pardon and restore all who repent of their sin. Because sin, both of omission and of commission, in motive, aim, thought, desire, wish, and fantasy even if not in outward action, is a daily event in Christians' lives (you know this about yourself, don't you?), regular repentance is abiding necessity. Repentance must be thorough, coming from the heart just as did the sin.” - J. I. Packer c) Spiritual (v. 4b) Pray, Remember Who You Pray to (vv. 5-13) He is a Father who Delights in (vv. 5-10) He is a Father who Answers what We Truly (vv. 11-13) APPLY THE WORD DUTY: What should I do? CHARRACTER: Who should I be? GOAL: Where should I head? DISCERNMENT: How can I distinguish truth from error? Something I learned: Something I want to know more about: What truth about the Gospel was/is highlighted by this passage: My prayer response (repentance/thanksgiving/praise): SHARE THE WORD In one sentence, write a key statement that the Spirit has prompted you to take from this message (e.g. “Love God with all your heart”) Who will you share this key statement with this week?
