In this kickoff to Foothills’ summer series Praying with Sinners and Saints, Pastor Jesse casts a sweeping vision of shalom—the wholeness God intended from the beginning. Through the Lord’s Prayer, we’re invited not just into communion with God, but into partnership with Him as He reunites heaven and earth. In a world of fractured systems and shattered lives, prayer is how we enter the work of restoration.
Scripture References
5And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward. 6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee. 7And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. 11Give us this day our daily bread. 12And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
