Sunday 24th May 2026 // Morning // Luke 11:1-4 // A Simple Way to Pray

Rev. Craig Lynn preaches Luke 11:1-4 at morning worship on Sunday 24th May 2026 in First Ards. Prayer begins with needy disciples coming to Jesus, saying “Lord, teach us to pray.” Jesus teaches us to come to God as Father, seeking first his name and kingdom, then bringing our daily needs, sins, relationships and weakness to him. The Lord’s Prayer reshapes us: from self-sufficiency to dependence; from anxiety to trust; from bitterness to forgiveness; from distraction to communion with God. And because Jesus is on the road to Jerusalem, we pray through the Son who secures our forgiveness and brings us to the Father.
