Our Father Listens
‘Lord, teach us to pray!’ This is the request that sprang from the lips of Jesus’ first disciples when they observed his life with the Heavenly Father. Prayer is hard, confusing, and sometimes downright disillusioning. Yet, like Jesus’ first disciples, we long to get to know our Heavenly Father. We yearn a praying life. In Our Father Listens, Citylight Church explores the praying life through Jesus’ teaching on prayer in his famous Sermon on the Mount.
Jesus models prayer as an avenue of hope in a cynical world.
