Episode 1 Summary

Download
  • Prayer is not just asking God to give us stuff or making speeches to him; it’s entering into conversational intimacy with God.
  • Jesus teaches his disciples to pray The Lord’s Prayer, which is a prayer pattern that all our prayers should follow after.
  • When we pray to our Father, we know we’re going to a safe place. We’re going to someone who already knows everything about us, and still has his arms out.

Discussion Questions

  • ?

    Why do you think Jesus tells us to call God “Father”?

Diving Deeper

Matthew 6:5-8

Read Matthew 6:5-8. In this passage, Jesus critiques the people who deliberately pray in front of others to try to seem holy, and says that prayer should be a private act. Is that surprising to you? Why do you think the Father would “reward” prayer in secret more than prayer in front of others? Also, in verse 8 Jesus points out that our Father knows what we need before we ask Him. How does that shape the way you think about prayer?
