The Pattern of Prayer

Jarrett Stephens teaches from Matthew 6:5-15 in a message called "The Pattern of Prayer." Many believers feel frustrated with prayer, unsure where to start or what to say. Jesus gave His disciples the Lord's Prayer not as empty words to repeat, but as a pattern for real relationship with God the Father. This message focuses on the first half of the prayer: knowing God as Abba, hallowing His name, praying for His kingdom to come, and seeking His will. Jarrett explains that only those adopted into God's family through faith in Christ can truly call Him Father. He shares personal illustrations of fatherly love and gives a practical seven-minute challenge to help anyone begin praying this week. The second half of the Lord's Prayer will be taught next week.
