Teach Us To PrayFebruary 15, 2026Teacher: Pastor Dave Brown“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.— Matthew 7:7-12The aim is not to get God in on what I think he should be doing. Rather, the aim of prayer is to get us in on what God is doing, become aware of it, join it, and enjoy the fruit of participation.—Tyler StatonA few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”— Mark 2:1-5A Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another, or it collapses.— Dietrich BonhoefferThen the Lord relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.— Exodus 32:14God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind.— Numbers 23:19Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.Romans 8:33-34

We wrap up our Teach Us to Pray series with Part 7: “It's Good to Talk” as Dan unpacks what it means to “pray without ceasing”—not with fancy words, but with real, honest conversation with God. Dan explores the power of spoken words, building intimacy with God, and even learning to be still and listen. Expect practical wisdom, and a timely reminder: God actually wants to talk with you—and He's not too busy to meet you right where you are.

This sermon explores Jesus' teaching on prayer, specifically the Lord's Prayer.  Pastor Kelli emphasizes that prayer is fundamentally about relationship with God as our Father and involves several key components: adoration, surrender, petition, confession, and deliverance from spiritual warfare. The central challenge is to move beyond rote recitation and pray with "shameless audacity," persistently and boldly asking God for things beyond our capacity, trusting in His limitless resources.

Teach Us To PrayFebruary 08, 2026Teacher: Pastor Dave BrownAsk and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!— Matthew 7:7-11 (Luke 11:9-13)3 Reasons for Unanswered Prayers:Not “no” but “not yet”Complex GoodsEvil ExistsGod does not delay to give what he has promised; rather, by delaying he stretches desire. By stretching desire he enlarges the soul. By enlarging the soul he makes it capable of receiving what he is preparing to give.— AugustineGod always gives us just what we need, himself.  He even works to stretch our hearts so that we are able to receive what he gives.Safety and security are two idols we let go unchecked in the American church.“Safe? ... Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you”— C.S. LewisGracious Father,you are the God of peace,the sovereign King who gathers one Kingdom from many nationsand calls us to belong wholly to you and to one another;Teach us to be with you before we strive to do for you.Quiet our anxious hearts,loosen our grip on lesser allegiances,and form in us the mind of Christ.Where opinions differ, give us charity.Where fears rise, give us trust.Where we are tempted to divide, make us one.As we seek the future of Redeemer Church,guide us by your Spirit.Grant us wisdom in discernment,patience with one another,and courage to follow wherever you lead. Make us a praying people before we are a decisive people,that our life together may reflect the peace and unity of your Kingdom.Through Jesus Christ our Lord,who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,one God, now and forever.Amen.

Trials serve as a revelatory testing ground that exposes whether our hearts are shaped by God's kingdom or by our own impulsive desires. Rather than relying on fragile willpower, this prayer acknowledges our limits and surrenders our inner cravings to God's protective, saving presence.

Are you praying to a small God… or remembering who you're really talking to? In this message, we explore why God is grieved when we forget His power — and how shrinking our expectations can limit our prayers. Get ready to lift your eyes, grow your faith, and start praying bigger prayers to a bigger God.

Adam Ritchard | Luke 11:1-13 — Jesus was devoted to prayer, so much so that His disciples specifically asked Him to teach them how to pray for themselves. Jesus' response emphasises that prayer is not an optional extra - it is a priority. We are to come before God in simplicity and sincerity; with tenacity and audacity; and with consistency and persistency. Lord, would you teach us to pray.

Luke 11:1 (NKJV) Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “LORD TEACH US TO PRAY...”

Teach Us To PrayFebruary 01, 2026Teacher: Pastor Dave BrownSince I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus.— Luke 1:3As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”— Luke 10:38-42The Good Samaritan shows us what love does.Mary reminds us where love begins.Prayer teaches us how to stay there.“Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”— Luke 11:1One day Jesus was praying in a certain place.  When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”— Luke 11:1“When you pray, say: Father…”— Luke 11:2Prayer is about presence before it's about anything else.  Prayer doesn't begin with outcomes.  Prayer is the free choice to be with the Father, to prefer his company.  In our desire for certain outcomes or our confusion over not getting certain outcomes, we are tempted to begin there.  But we cannot brush past simply being with the Father and arrive at anything close to the sort of prayer Jesus won back for us.  Prayer starts with presence.— Tyler StatonGracious Father,you are the God of peace,the sovereign King who gathers one Kingdom from many nationsand calls us to belong wholly to you and to one another;Teach us to be with you before we strive to do for you.Quiet our anxious hearts,loosen our grip on lesser allegiances,and form in us the mind of Christ.Where opinions differ, give us charity.Where fears rise, give us trust.Where we are tempted to divide, make us one.As we seek the future of Redeemer Church,guide us by your Spirit.Grant us wisdom in discernment,patience with one another,and courage to follow wherever you lead. Make us a praying people before we are a decisive people,that our life together may reflect the peace and unity of your Kingdom.Through Jesus Christ our Lord,who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,one God, now and forever.Amen.

Genesis 18:22-33 | Josh Miller

In the fourth week in the series 'Teach us to pray' we look at the two lines at the very heart of the Lord's Prayer; forgiveness. We explored firstly the shape of forgiveness in Scripture, what forgiveness looks like, and finally at practically how we do it.

How should we pray? John Mark digs into the Lord's Prayer, and what it shows us about Jesus's posture toward prayer, challenging us to engage in prayer from a place of delight rather than rote discipline.

Tap here to send us a message!Every believer must embrace the discipline of prayer as an essential part of their walk with God. A strong prayer life is built intentionally through daily practice and consistent communion with Him. As duty gives way to discipline, discipline awakens desire, and desire leads to delight, believers grow deeper and stronger in their walk with God.01/25/2026 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures:Luke 11:1Matthew 5:6Psalm 42:1-2Psalm 63:1-2I Peter 2:2Psalm 73:25, 16:11Psalms 23, 27, 51, 63, 91, 119, 121, 139Nehemiah 1:4Romas 13:11-14Revelation 3:20Psalm 27:8

Luke 18:1-8 | Josh Miller

When we pray "give us today our daily bread" Jesus is actually inviting us to ask for more of him. What are the things we need to put down in order to make space fore God to be God?

Pastor Patrick Cobb Luke 11:1-4 & Matthew 6:5-13

In the second instalment of our series on the Lord's Prayer, we look at what it means to have an identity and purpose aligned with the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth.

Luke 11:1 (NKJV) Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “LORD TEACH US TO PRAY...”

We kick off our first series of 2026 about Prayer! Alex explains the power of reciting the Lord's Prayer daily. This week's discussion questions are below: Discussion Questions January 11, 2026 1. When you hear Jesus' disciples ask, “Lord, teach us to pray,” what stands out to you? Why do you think seasoned disciples still needed to ask this question? 2. The message names a gap between “I should pray” and “I want to pray.” Where do you see that gap in your own life right now—if at all? 3. Jesus does not shame the disciples for needing to learn prayer again. How does that shape the way you think God views your current prayer life? 4. The sermon describes prayer as “relationship, not performance.” What kinds of pressures or expectations have made prayer feel like a performance for you? 5. Dallas Willard defines prayer as “talking to God about what we are doing together.” How does that definition challenge or expand how you normally think about prayer? 6. The early church practiced praying the Lord's Prayer multiple times a day. What reactions do you have to the idea of repetition or ritual in prayer—positive or negative? 7. The invitation is to pray the Lord's Prayer three times a day. What do you think might be life-giving about that practice? What might be difficult? 8. When words are hard to find, the message encourages us to “borrow the words of Jesus.” Where in your life right now do you feel tired, stuck, or unsure of what to pray?
