I am loving this deep dive into the Lord’s Prayer in regard to how to pray. I hope you are as well. Sometimes, I envision Jesus standing before me, just as He did the disciples, teaching me how to pray. It is a powerful visualization, but that is how real our faith is! As we study the Lord’s Prayer from Matthew 6, we begin to see, it is broken into two sections. The first, […]

As we look at the model of prayer, given by Jesus, in Matthew 6, we learn just how to pray. Last week,as Jesus prays, “Our Father,” we realize we all belong here! To know that you belong, that I belong, is an amazing feeling! The week before that, we found out, some call The Lord’s Prayer, the Disciple’s Prayer.

For whatever reason, when it gets cold like this, cold enough to snow, I think of those without homes. Those people on the streets without a warm bed and a hot meal.

Did you know there is a “Why” behind it all, behind everything we do? There is, even if you are not aware of it. Today, we are going to discover our Why and why it is so crucial to achieving our goals. As we moved into 2025, last week we looked at the one goal that could change our lives forever. For me, it is a deeper relationship with God/Jesus/Holy Spirit. And although this is my “New Year’s Resolution,” […]
