Sermon Series

Scripture tells us to pray always, but often, prayer seems confusing, stressful, or just plain hard. Am I praying the right way? Does God hear my prayers? Jesus’ disciples had questions too, so he gave them the Lord’s Prayer as a model of how to pray. 

Our five week PRAY Like Jesus sermon series begins Sunday, September 15 at our 8:30 AM worship service. Join us as we explore the familiar words of the Lord’s Prayer as a model for our own prayer life. Each week, we’ll delve into a different segment of the Lord’s prayer, looking at prayer through the model of Praise, Repent, Ask, Yield, and listening for God’s response. Don’t miss this opportunity for spiritual growth and insight! Check out the theme highlights for each week below.

Christ the King Christian church services are held Sundays at 8:30 AM at 420 W. Whitefish Rd, Port Washington, Wisconsin. Port Washington is located in Ozaukee County.

PRAISE

WEEK 1: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2024

This Sunday, September 15, we kick off our new sermon series on prayer, diving into The Lord’s Prayer and uncovering its deeper meanings. Our focus will be on the theme of gratitude, praising God, and recognizing God as our Father, as we consider the words Jesus taught us: “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.” What an awesome privilege we have to come and pray to the Creator of the cosmos, who calls us to approach as beloved children! Join us at 8:30 AM for this worship, and stay afterward for fellowship and coffee. See you there!

REPENT

WEEK 2: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2024

“Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” This Sunday, we continue our sermon series on prayer by exploring the vital practice of confession. What does it mean to repent? Why is forgiveness important? How do we truly forgive others? And what’s a “trespass” anyway? Join us at 8:30 AM September 22nd as we delve into these profound questions and uncover the purpose and power of repentance. We look forward to sharing this journey with you!

ASK

WEEK 3: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2024

Asking is a tricky subject, because God is not a vending machine. Just because we ask for something doesn’t mean God will give us everything we want. At the same time, Jesus tells us God delights in giving gifts to God’s children, and God invites us to bring all our cares and concerns in prayer. Join us this Sunday, September 29, at our 8:30 AM service, as we explore the theme of asking in prayer and how it aligns with Jesus’ will. We look forward to sharing this time with you!

YIELD

WEEK 4: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2024

On this fourth Sunday of our sermon series on prayer, we’ll explore the concept of yielding to God in our prayers. While God does answer our prayers, sometimes the response isn’t a simple “Yes.” Praying for God’s will to be done might mean accepting that our will won’t be done. Join us on Sunday, October 6, at 8:30 AM as we delve into this topic, pray, and worship together. After the service, stick around for fellowship, community, and some pretty good coffee too!

LISTEN

WEEK 5: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2024

Psalm 119:105 reminds us, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” But do we take the time to listen for that guiding light? Prayer is meant to be talking with God, not just talking to God. As we wrap up our sermon series on the Lord’s Prayer, we invite you to join us for our final Sunday in this series, starting at 8:30 AM. Let’s come together to worship and to explore the profound gift of prayer, followed by coffee, fellowship, and community. We look forward to seeing you there!
