Kristin Wells
Matthew 6:5-8; 7:7-11
Why do we pray? Is it purely transactional? If we can ask anything of God, why do our prayers not always come to fruition? This sermon will wrestle with the purpose of prayer in a broken world.
FUMC Bentonville's Mission Prayer Group invites you to join us in prayer as we explore the Sermon on the Mount Sermon Series! The Calendar can be found on our website HERE.

Come, Explore Lectio Divina, Another Way to Pray
Sunday, October 25, 10AM
Lectio what? Yeah, Latin is so beyond us, but hey, this is a practice of reading scripture that has prevailed throughout centuries, and a practice that is still used today, which speaks to its relevance. This is a way of reading the scripture, not like a Bible study, but like a personal message to you. Yes, to you! Isn’t that what we want? Explore this possibility in our next prayer class. And at the end you will know at the least how to say Lectio Divina and at the most, God met me here in the word of scripture. Join us in room 228 at 10AM as we explore how scripture connects with us in a new and old way of being present to God speaking to us.
