Christ's Guide to Praying the Scriptures
This eight-week study traverses through the depths of the Lord’s Prayer, drawing us nearer to the foot of the cross while shaping the way we pray and commune with God.
From an ancient practice to a Sunday school memory verse, the Lord’s Prayer holds some sort of sentiment for many different people. We encourage you to push past any assumptions you hold currently and take this deep dive with us into the depths of the Lord’s Prayer. Let it shape the way you pray, knowing that God has already initiated the conversation.

A note from author Katie Noble
Our pastor and dear friend mentioned to us that we’d be walking through The Lord’s Prayer as a church. “The Lord’s Prayer?” I thought with arrogance. “I suppose that will be helpful for new believers.” Like many of you, I had memories the Lord’s Prayer as a child and thought it no more than a sing-song poem for Christian beginners. But as we began to wade through the deep riches of this incredible gift, I came undone. My soul began to sing. This simple prayer was the key I had been searching for, and I had been holding it all along. I am honored that you’d join me on this journey toward Jesus, our redeemer and friend...
