Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.
Summary
Themes
Key Points
- 1.Don't let what you already know prevent you from learning what you do not yet know, because ignorance in any area leads to suffering.
- 2.New levels of spiritual maturity require new learning and a willingness to move from knowing Jesus only as Redeemer to knowing Him as Rabbi.
- 3.The Redeemer saves us from our sin, but the Rabbi teaches us how to live wisely on earth.
- 4.Jesus reteaches the spiritual discipline of prayer to build our spiritual conditioning so we can withstand the pressure of our spiritual calling.
- 5.Culture's way of prayer treats God like a vending machine, while Church's way reduces prayer to a hollow religious duty, but the King's Way makes prayer relational and kingdom-focused.
- 6.The Lord's Prayer was given not primarily for memorization, but for education as a model and framework for relational prayer.
- 7.Praying 'Our Father' shifts our posture from begging God as a stranger to bringing confident requests to a loving dad.
- 8.Praying without ceasing means cultivating an ongoing God-consciousness throughout every moment and setting of daily life.
- 9.Third Way prayer surrenders personal ambition, placing our dreams on the altar so that God's will takes precedence over our own.

“Jesus is reteaching the spiritual discipline of prayer so He can increase their spiritual conditioning to carry out their spiritual calling.”
“Culture's way treats God as a vending machine; Church's way treats prayer as a religious duty; the King's Way treats prayer as relational communication.”
“The Lord's Prayer wasn't given for the purpose of memorization; it was given for the purpose of education.”
“You have to beg a stranger, but you don't have to beg a good father.”
