Are you talking to me?

with Pastor Aaron Jackson - Church on the Rise Beerwah

In a world of headphones, mobile devices and social media, we can fool ourselves into thinking we are connected. And yet at the same time we can become disconnected to the world around us. The world with real people in it. We all want to be noticed and acknowledged. We all want God to see us, but do we look to Him? God went to creative lengths to get our attention (Romans 1:20). Jesus came to earth to show us the way to God. Jesus taught us to pray and through prayer, how to connect with God.

Jesus is teaching us some great principles for life. We shouldn’t just ask God to know who we are, let’s take the time to know who He is, so He can help us navigate the life He has given each one of us.

This prayer isn’t a one way conversation with God. Whenever we stop to pray this prayer, even though we are talking to God, take a moment to ask the next question “Lord what are you asking of me?” 

If you are looking for Church, we look forward to seeing you Sunday at Church on the Rise Beerwah.

Our father in heaven hallowed be your name – Know who you’re speaking to.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven – Know what you are asking.
Give us this day our daily bread – Know where your provision comes from.
Forgive our sins as we forgive others – Know how to obtain freedom.
Lead us not into temptation – Know the direction of your life.
But deliver us from evil – Know God know peace.
