153 | What Kind of Prayer Are We Practicing?

In this message, Pastor Paul Durbin opens Luke 11 and shows that the disciples do not ask Jesus how to impress people, draw crowds, or do miracles—they ask Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Pastor Paul calls Belay to grow in two simple but powerful kinds of prayer: direct prayer, where we come to God with praise, our needs, and the needs of others; and declarative prayer, where we rise from fellowship with God and speak His peace, provision, authority, and blessing into a broken world. The big idea is this: prayer is not just a private habit—it is a life of faith that brings us close to God and sends us out on mission.
