Week 1: "Our Father in Heaven"
As we embark on a journey to become a praying church in 2025, we're invited to explore the profound depths of the Lord's Prayer. This familiar text takes on new significance as we examine its opening words: 'Our Father in Heaven.' These simple yet powerful words remind us of the incredible privilege we have in addressing the Creator of the universe as our Father. We're encouraged to approach prayer not as a mere religious duty, but as an intimate conversation with a loving parent who resides in the heavenly throne room. This perspective challenges us to balance reverence with confidence as we enter God's presence. As we reflect on our own prayer lives, we're prompted to ask: Are we truly grasping the magnitude of who we're speaking to when we pray? Are we allowing this understanding to transform our approach to communication with God?
