Walking With Jesus: Jesus and Prayer

WALKING WITH JESUS: Jesus and Prayer Pastor Kent Landhuis THEME - Praying like Jesus moves us into radical discipleship. TEXT - Luke 22:39-45 OUTLINE 1. WHAT IS RADICAL PRAYER?  When Jesus prayed, he expected God to hear him.

We pray because we can’t help it. Three essentials: Help, Thanks. Wow. John 5:19 “God is there to help. That’s what God’s job is.” Anne Lammot 3. WHEN DO WE PRAY RADICAL PRAYERS?  . Mark 1:35  We pray when we know our total dependence on God.  “Most good, honest prayers remind me that I am not in charge, that I cannot fix anything, and that I open myself to being helped.” Anne Lammot   4. WHERE DO WE PRAY RADICAL PRAYERS? Where do you connect with God?  Luke 5:16  “Awe is why we are here.” Anne Lamott   5. HOW DO WE PRAY RADICAL PRAYERS?
