Going to God in prayer is meant to disable all the signals coming from our culture, and even quiet the noise in our heads. It stops the outside voices clamoring for our attention, and forces us to be still. Why? Because we are not actually in control of our lives; and God wishes to communicate with us and even navigate our way in the world.

The sermon today is titled "Teach Us To Pray." It is the last installment in our series "Airplane Mode." The Scripture reading is from Luke 11:1 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on January 28, 2024. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve.
