Mark shares around the importance of persistent prayer. Sermon slides here…
So this morning, we're on part nine of our series, Kingdom Living, A Pattern for Discipleship.
And the title this morning is One Word Communion.
Now, if you're thinking of breaking of bread, that is an aspect of communion, but it's not the only communion.
Communion is, in essence, us communing with God, fellowshipping with God, connecting with God, engaging with God.
And so just as a way of introduction, maybe for those of you who haven't been around for the series or for the whole part of the series, we've been exploring Jesus's pattern of making disciples.
And we're looking at it through the eyes of Luke, who of course, as we know, wrote the third gospel, the gospel of Luke.
Now, can I just say all prayer in essence is communing with God, not some.
Whether it's prayers of adoration, prayers of thanksgiving, prayers of confession, prayers of intercession, prayers of petition, and everything in between, all of it is communing with God.
And so I don't need to tell you that there are many aspects to prayer.
There are many methods to pray.
There are many ways that we can pray.
Not even to mention the need to pray or even the power of our prayers or the effects that our prayers have.
And yet my purpose this morning is not so much to stimulate us to pray.
And I hope that does happen.
But rather it's to stimulate us to persist in our praying.
And so in essence, you'll see that's the title of my message, and I hope you can see it behind me here.
But that's it there, communion, yes, praying, but more so persisting in prayer.
Because if you're like me, we need to hear something of the same.
We need to know what it means and how it looks for us to persevere and to persist in prayer.
And so we got two passages of scripture this morning that we're gonna dive into.
And the first one is in Luke chapter 11.
And we're going to be going to Luke chapter 11, and we're going to read the first 13 verses of that.
All good? All right.
Here we go.
