"Praying the Lord's Prayer"
Skit: http://www.dramatix.org/Walk/lords_prayer.html
Texts: Luke 11:1-13; Matthew 6:9-13
Pastor Jon issues a challenge to carefully pray through the Lord's Prayer twice a day for the next week, before presenting our list of "prayer requests" to the Father. By carefully exploring each line of the prayer, we are better able to understand how we are to relate to God, and the way in which prayer can transform us.

Sweet Hour of Prayer - July 22, 2007
"Sweet Hour of Prayer"
Text: Luke 10:38-42
Pastor Jon explores the relationship between "Being" and "Doing" by looking at the narrative of Mary and Martha. Mary sat at the feet of Jesus while Martha worried herself in the kitchen. Scripture doesn't teach that we should never be people of action, but that our activity should flow out of our time with the Lord. We are to be in a posture of receptivity, we are to be motivated by our time with the Lord, we are to set our to do list aside in favor of His to do list, and our attitude should be one of cheerful peacefulness.

Calling Down Fire - July 1, 2007
"Calling Down Fire"
Text: Psalm 16; II Kings 2:1-2, 6-14; Galatians 5:1, 13-25; Luke 9:51-62
Ever been angry? Really angry? Ever dismissed someone entirely because they didn't do what you wanted, or think the way you think? Ever treated someone like they weren't worth the oxygen that they breathe? Listen to what happens in Luke chapter 9 when James and John offer to call down fire on a Samaritan village.
