When you think about God, what comes to mind? A distant judge? A cosmic boss? Or a compassionate Father who longs to be with you?
In this message, Pastor David opens our new series on prayer by showing how Jesus invites us not into performance—but into presence.
Through the aching words of the disciples, “Lord, teach us to pray,” we discover that prayer isn’t a skill to master—it’s a relationship to practice.
🔥 In this message, you’ll learn:
✅ Why prayer begins with longing, not technique
✅ How Jesus models a daily rhythm of abiding with the Father
✅ What the Lord’s Prayer teaches us about identity, dependence, and trust
✅ Why the torn temple curtain means you are welcome, not rejected
✅ How prayer is the gift of returning home again and again to God’s heart
