<v SPEAKER_02>So make sure you go back and you check any of those messages that you missed, check those out on the archives.

00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.720
<v SPEAKER_02>And so, man, we are just pumped about this.

00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.559
<v SPEAKER_02>This is gonna be so yes.

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:25.600
<v SPEAKER_02>Um, there is power in prayer, and we believe that God is calling us as a church to really press into that.

00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.799
<v SPEAKER_02>Uh, and so we're gonna do a series around that starting today.

00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.200
<v SPEAKER_02>So we're gonna come at you live from the Wanna Grove campus with Pastor Russ to start that.

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.600
<v SPEAKER_02>So grab whatever you need to stay engaged.

00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.759
<v SPEAKER_02>There's sermon notes on that app, like we talked about earlier, uh, that you could track along with.

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:45.519
<v SPEAKER_02>And we're gonna lean in, we're gonna hear from God together as we rally around this idea of prayer and we learn about it together.

00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:51.279
<v SPEAKER_02>And just um, our prayer this morning is that with disciples, uh, we would come and we would have Jesus teach us how to pray.

00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:57.120
<v SPEAKER_02>And so let's lean in uh and believe that God's gonna speak to us, and then we'll be back with you on the other side.

00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:05.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.

00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:05.919
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:08.720
<v SPEAKER_00>It is great to see all of you this morning.

00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:09.679
<v SPEAKER_00>My name is Russ.

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:14.399
<v SPEAKER_00>If I hadn't had a chance to meet you, I want to welcome you to church at the grove uh formally.

00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:22.879
<v SPEAKER_00>Hopefully you were greeted when you came in by a smiling face or uh friendly, uh friendly hello or a handshake or a high five or something.

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:24.799
<v SPEAKER_00>So hopefully you were greeted warmly.

00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:41.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Uh I'm gonna tell you listen, I my heart, my heartbeat is not just that we would be a warm, friendly family, uh, you know, church family, that's great, but but we would be a church that experiences the presence of Jesus.

00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:42.799
<v SPEAKER_00>That's my heart.

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:48.799
<v SPEAKER_00>So more than more than just being friendly is I want you to experience the presence of Jesus this morning.

00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.600
<v SPEAKER_00>And so welcome uh to Church at the Grove.

00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:58.320
<v SPEAKER_00>And we're in we're in week two of the series titled Prayer, where we are talking about prayer.

00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:00.159
<v SPEAKER_00>We're talking about prayer.

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:06.720
<v SPEAKER_00>So last week was week one, and we the title of the message would have uh was Talking to God.

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:08.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Talking to God.

00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:23.120
<v SPEAKER_00>And we we kind of concluded with that that message, this idea that we we just want you to lean into maybe even um just just reciting um already pre-made prayers.

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:27.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Now, if you come from a liturgical background, that is something that you are familiar with.

00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:29.519
<v SPEAKER_00>That's not my background.

00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:41.519
<v SPEAKER_00>Um I I've kind of had to lean into that more as I have grown in my faith that it's okay to pray pre-made prayers, and sometimes it's just repeating scripture back to God.

00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.080
<v SPEAKER_00>God gives us scripture to pray back to Him.

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:55.600
<v SPEAKER_00>And so my wife and I, during the week, we we just paused during the week at times and we just slowly went through the Lord's prayer.

00:15:55.919 --> 00:16:00.879
<v SPEAKER_00>And so that was just a daily activity for us this past week.

00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:07.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Um and and and and so this week, the title of the message would be Talking with God.

00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:09.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Talking with God.

00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:44.879
<v SPEAKER_00>And so uh using using the the example of children, using the picture of children, all of us, many of us, either uh we we've either in a child or we have to have children, or maybe we're going to have children, but but you probably know what it's like to have a child who who is hurting or in pain or they're sick or they're hungry or they want something, and they they literally do not know at a very young age how to communicate uh what they desire and what they want and what they need.

00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.799
<v SPEAKER_00>And for you and for us as parents, it is so frustrating.

00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:50.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Please just tell me what you want.

00:16:50.720 --> 00:17:06.720
<v SPEAKER_00>And they're they're crying and and they're they're they're reaching for something, and and so when they get to a uh a certain age, just even as a toddler, and they can just barely voice what they want, it's just a relief for you.

00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.160
<v SPEAKER_00>At least I know what they're trying to communicate.

00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:24.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And so for us, the the communic the communication, a lot of times it's one-way, it's a one-way communication, but talking with God is meant to be a two-way communication.

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:31.680
<v SPEAKER_00>And so we're we're moving from just talking uh to God, but really talking with God.

00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:35.200
<v SPEAKER_00>And it's a process that children go through.

00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:40.799
<v SPEAKER_00>It's a process that those of us who are children of the Heavenly Father go to.

00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:50.240
<v SPEAKER_00>We learn how to talk to God, but we also move on to the place where we can learn to communicate and talk with God.

00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:51.839
<v SPEAKER_00>There's a progression.

00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.680
<v SPEAKER_00>There's a progression there.

00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:58.640
<v SPEAKER_00>And over these the four weeks that we're teaching, we're last week was talking to God.

00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:15.599
<v SPEAKER_00>This week is talking with God, next week we'll be listening to God, and then the final week will be and being with God, and then we're uh possibly going to do one extra week on this specifically geared to hear how you hear the voice of God.

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:20.799
<v SPEAKER_00>And so last week we talked about talking to God, these pre-mers.

00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:27.839
<v SPEAKER_00>It's okay to recite something, it's okay to read a scripture and pray it back to God.

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:31.200
<v SPEAKER_00>The book of Psalms is a book of prayers.

00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:37.440
<v SPEAKER_00>And so we read the Psalms and we just can pray them back to the Lord.

00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.440
<v SPEAKER_00>We can pray them back to the Lord.

00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:42.000
<v SPEAKER_00>And so last week we were in Luke chapter 11.

00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:57.440
<v SPEAKER_00>So if you want to go ahead and open your Bibles, and I encourage you, I encourage you, um, I this isn't like a major thing, but I I love it when I hear pages turn uh when people come to church.

00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:05.200
<v SPEAKER_00>And so I encourage you to get your Bible, a, an actual paper.

00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:15.839
<v SPEAKER_00>I think the the old term would be codex, get you a uh, you know, a scroll, a scroll or uh or a book or something, and you can you can write in it, you can take notes in it.

00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:20.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Um it's okay that you it's okay to use your phone or technology, and that's fine.

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:23.680
<v SPEAKER_00>But I love it when people are are opening the Bible.

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:30.079
<v SPEAKER_00>I can hear them turning the pages, and I think there's something significant about just going back.

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.720
<v SPEAKER_00>Almost just kind of saying no to technology, but that's a that's a whole other issue.

00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:39.759
<v SPEAKER_00>But um Luke chapter 11 is primarily where we're gonna be.

00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:41.200
<v SPEAKER_00>You also find the Lord's Prayer.

00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:51.519
<v SPEAKER_00>We talked about this last week in Matthew chapter 6, and so we went through verses 1 through 4 last week in the book of Luke, chapter 11.

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.559
<v SPEAKER_00>So today we're starting out with verse 5.

00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:57.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Then, teaching them more about prayer.

00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:58.559
<v SPEAKER_00>This is Jesus.

00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:09.359
<v SPEAKER_00>The disciples have come to him, they've watched Jesus, he pulls away in regular rhythms to go be alone with the Father.

00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:24.559
<v SPEAKER_00>And so they watch him over and over pull away, and so one of the times that he is pulled away, he comes back, and the disciples are all standing there, and one of them says, Jesus, would you teach us to pray?

00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:27.119
<v SPEAKER_00>And so he's sure, I'll teach you to pray.

00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:28.720
<v SPEAKER_00>Pray this way.

00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Pray this way, our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:34.720
<v SPEAKER_00>And he goes through the Lord's prayer.

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:43.759
<v SPEAKER_00>We talked about that last week, but he continues in Luke 11, verse 5, he continues to teach them more about prayer.

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:45.599
<v SPEAKER_00>And he used this story.

00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:52.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Suppose you went to a friend's house at midnight wanting to borrow three loaves of bread.

00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:59.119
<v SPEAKER_00>And you say to him, A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.

00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:03.200
<v SPEAKER_00>And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, don't bother me.

00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:05.359
<v SPEAKER_00>The door is locked for the night.

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:09.200
<v SPEAKER_00>My family's already settled, and my family and we are already.
