Moving Mountains | Out of the Box & Outside the Lines | Pt 3

Every beginning comes from chaos. And then God brings order, an invitation to tend and guard the good. But humanity is quick to take that good order of tending and guarding and move to control. A control that often only benefits a few. In these moments we often see God thinking out of the box and coloring outside the lines. We see God moving towards liberation. 

In this series we will explore what this pattern | chaos-order-control-liberation | has looked like in the Bible, and how it can inform how we can show up and partner with God in our world today.

Prayer is one of those things that we know a lot about, but can be hard to understand at the same time. 

In Matthew 6, Jesus tells the disciples about prayer. He cautions them not to put on a mask and pretend to have it all together. Prayer should be a move towards vulnerability. Jesus also warns them against making prayer a formula for getting God's attention. It doesn't work like that. 

But in the end, what does prayer do? Does it change the future? Is that possible? Does prayer change us? Does it make us capable of facing the reality of this messy life?
