As He Was Praying

What if prayer isn't just something you do, but the very atmosphere in which you live? In the first message of Pastor Pete's new series, The Prince of Prayer, we begin at the first recorded prayer of Jesus in Luke 3. While many focus on the dramatic events surrounding His baptism, Luke (see Luke 3:21-23) quietly draws our attention to four powerful words: "As He was praying."

Rather than viewing prayer as a transaction—"If I pray, God will..."—Jesus shows us that prayer was the environment in which He lived. It was the backdrop of His identity, His relationship with the Father, and His ministry.

Whether you've prayed your whole life or are just beginning your journey with Christ, this message will challenge you to see prayer in a fresh way—not as a religious obligation, but as the place where life with God is lived every day.
