NextLevel Online: Navigating With the Lord's Prayer

Navigating with the Lord’s Prayer (Session 3)

In Session 3 of "Navigating with the Lord’s Prayer," Jim Dalrymple explores how prayer reveals one's view of God, self, others, and priorities. He contrasts genuine prayer with the hypocritical and unbelieving approaches warned against in Matthew 6:5-8. True prayer, grounded in trust in the Father, reflects sincere motives and proper discipleship.
