Prayers of a Spiritual Leader
We are going to look at the prayer life of Jesus through the eyes of the Gospel of Luke.
Three main points
- A Fathers responsibility to pray in all circumstances
- A Fathers responsibility to meet the spiritual needs of his family through prayer.
- A Fathers responsibility to pray for his own walk with God.
Join us this Father’s Day Sunday at 10:45am at Lakeview Community Church for the next message in Pastor Paul Kozar’s new sermon series about praying called “They Teach us to Pray.”
Our reading this Sunday will come from Luke 22:39-46
39Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 41He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42″Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
45When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46″Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”
