The Necessity of Prayer: Lessons from Luke

A year ago, our congregation spent the month of January renewing our commitment to the authority and necessity of God’s Word. At the beginning of this year, we are turning to the other (and no less important) necessity in the life of the believer and the life of the church: prayer. There is no mistaking the centrality of prayer in the life of Jesus, particularly as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. Jesus prayed at his baptism, before his crucifixion, and as he was dying. Throughout his ministry, he withdrew time and again from the crowds to pray, and he taught his disciples how to pray. If our perfect Master was so devoted to prayer, should not we be likewise? May this sermon series spur all of us to commit ourselves afresh to Kingdom-focused prayer that is rooted and grounded in the Word of God.
