Prayer doesn’t begin with you; it begins with Jesus.
“Paul wrote, ‘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 8:34). Interceding. That’s what Jesus is doing right now. He is praying for you. He is the bridge between the Father’s heavenly resources and your earthly life. Every prayer you have ever prayed, and every prayer you ever will pray, is a response to his prayers for you.
Join pastor and author Tyler Staton for a five-session Bible study that takes you to the starting point of a journey that will lead you from receiving the intercession of Christ to interceding with Christ. Along the way you’ll make four stops, summarizing the Lord’s Prayer that Jesus taught into four core practices: adoration, confession, petition, and intercession. But it all starts and ends not with our prayers, but with Christ’s.” [1]
Join Pastor Andrew as his Sunday School class reads and discusses Tyler Staton’s Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools: an invitation to the wonder and mystery of prayer.
