Discussion: The Lord's Prayer

Hi everyone!

This month we're going to be exploring the Lord's Prayer. In two of the gospels Jesus is asked how to pray by his disciples and the subsequent prayer he taught has been repeated by Christians ever since. For many Christians it rolls off the tongue and that can sometimes mean we stop thinking about what we're praying.

For this discussion we're going to be slowing down, going through the prayer line by line and trying to figure out what exactly Jesus was encouraging us to pray. Should we recite it verbatim or was Jesus providing us a template? Is there power in the words themselves? What was it about this prayer that Jesus wanted us to take on board?

Look forward to discussing this and more! See you there!
