After being baptized, I wanted to share my faith. When a friend who was moving into the area asked me for advice on where to live, I gave him some practical tips and then told him about my newfound faith. He was very interested to learn more, and I was excited to share, but didn’t know where to start.

As a father of three, I have had my fair share of visits to urgent care. The check-in process is always systematic and predictable. “What brings you in today?” they ask. The patient shares their symptoms, and the doctor eventually provides a diagnosis.

People still ask the same thing the disciples did 2,000 years ago: “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1, NKJV). We all know, the disciples included, that prayer is an integral part of our journey with God. However, we all seem to struggle to make prayer a vibrant and meaningful part of our daily lives and, consequently, the request, “Lord, teach us to pray.”
Jesus’ answer is one of the most memorized passages in the Bible: The Lord’s Prayer (Luke 11:1–4). While memorizing this timeless prayer is good, we must grasp that Jesus’ answer goes beyond just repeating lofty words. Behind that prayer are potent principles that truly transform how one prays.

Our new vision, “A World Without Strangers,” embodies a God-given dream to create a community where everyone feels welcome, valued and loved. In Matthew 24, Jesus’ disciples ask Him about the signs of His coming. Jesus describes signs in the natural, political and religious worlds, but adds, “The end is not yet.”
