This Sunday, the Third Sunday of Lent, we will continue our sermon series entitled, “Thy Kingdom Come: The Great Reversals of God’s Reign in Luke’s Gospel.”
The text we will explore together is Luke 11:1-13, a passage in which Jesus' journey to Jerusalem is interrupted by a disciple seeking a seminar on prayer.
Jesus teaches the disciples a particular prayer, the Lord's Prayer, and persists in the tutorial by telling a few parables. What will the stories of a midnight-knocking at a neighbor's door, or a sadistic snake-gifting father teach us about prayer? What will they teach us about ourselves? What will they teach us about God?
