We're back in the Open Invitation sermon series! In this verse-by-verse journey through Luke's gospel, we pick back up with a parable about building bigger barns.

In the final message from the series Radical Prayer, we're looking at examples from Scripture of when prayer led to a change in perspective instead of (or in addition to) a change in circumstances.

In the next message from the new series, Radical Prayer, we're studying a short parable about prayer that Jesus tells in Luke's gospel. It's a powerful reminder that we are invited and encouraged to be truly honest, transparent, and authentic in our approach to prayer.

In the next message from the new series, Radical Prayer, we get to some more practical, nuts-and-bolts aspects of praying. Jesus gives us an excellent framework for prayer when he teaches his disciples to pray. And, there are several other ways to approach prayer that come from Scripture and the long line of Christians who have come before us.

In the next message from the new series, Radical Prayer, we look to a well-known metaphor used by Jesus: vines and branches. As we abide in Christ, we are invited to ask. And, as we abide and ask, there is an expectation: that we bear fruit for God's glory and our joy.

In the next message from the new series, Radical Prayer, we examine two potential pitfalls with prayer and how to avoid them. Prayer that is modeled after Jesus doesn't need to be loud, public, or full of words. It can be a steady, ongoing communion as we recenter ourselves on the presence of God.

In the opening sermon from the new series, Radical Prayer, we discuss what "radical" prayer actually looks like, as well as some views about prayer that we need to avoid.

In this episode of our sermon series Open Invitation, a verse-by-verse exploration of the gospel of Luke, we see Jesus teaching about how we use our words: what/who we claim, disown, speak against, even blaspheme. And, when we have trouble finding the words in challenging situations, we are encouraged to rely on God to equip us.
