Praying through the Lord’s Prayer, Part 2

Praying through the Lord’s Prayer, Part 2

“Lord, teach us to pray,” the disciples implored. His response highlighted their insufficiency and redirected their focus from self to Kingdom priorities. Jesus continues to guide us today through what we have come to know as the Lord’s Prayer.

In this two-part workshop, Karen Ellis will help you explore and pray through the seven petitions of the Lord’s Prayer. Whether you’re a seasoned pray-er or new to the “school of prayer,” you’ll experience the renewal that comes from praying His Word and learn how to help others in your church or community pray the King’s way.
