Prayer

This message from the Reconnect series centers on one of the most foundational—but often misunderstood—parts of the Christian life: prayer. Using the disciples’ simple but powerful request, “Lord, teach us to pray,” the sermon explores how prayer isn’t about perfect words or spiritual eloquence—it’s about building a real, consistent relationship with God. Through humor, personal stories, and the example of Jesus Himself, we learn three key rhythms of prayer: talking to God honestly, listening to Him intentionally, and responding with obedience. Prayer isn’t meant to be a last resort or a religious obligation—it’s a daily invitation to connect with a God who actually wants to hear from us. Whether you're brand new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message reminds us that the first step is simply showing up—and trusting that God is already listening.
