Title: The Lord's Prayer
Passage: Luke 11:1-13
Speaker: Kevin Maloney

This model prayer given by Jesus provides words to pray and a pattern for prayer. It has shaped the prayer lives of Christians since the beginning of Christianity, and continues to shape our prayer lives today.

The Pattern for Prayer (Luke 11:1-4)
- Here, Jesus gives us the Lucan version of the Lord’s prayer. Jesus taught this prayer here late in His ministry, and taught a similar version on the Sermon on the Mount, which was early in His ministry. Read the Lord’s prayer here in Luke and in Matthew 6:9-13. What are the common elements in both? What does Matthew’s version include that Luke’s doesn’t? What are the main elements of a prayer that follows the Lord’s pattern?
- What does praying according to this pattern look like in your personal prayer life?

Perseverance in Prayer (Luke 11:5-8)
- In this strange story, Jesus is teaching us to persevere in prayer. What should our prayer lives look like according to these verses?

The Father Who Hears (Luke 11:9-11)
- Here, Jesus contrasts our good Father in heaven with “evil” fathers here. How does this fuel and strengthen our prayer lives?
