Sermon: Baggage Claim | Week 2: Prayer // Brent Levy

Date September 14, 2025Synopsis In this sermon, we confront the heavy religious baggage many of us carry around prayer and discover a liberating alternative. Through Jesus's radical teaching of the Lord's Prayer, we explore a transformative framework—Attend, Align, Act—that moves us from empty ritual to revolutionary practice. Instead of treating prayer like a spiritual vending machine, we're invited into a dynamic rhythm that awakens us to God's presence, reshapes our desires, and unleashes us as agents of healing in a broken world. This isn't just about changing how we pray. It’s about reimagining how we live.References Scripture: Matthew 5:5–15About The Local Church For more information about The Local Church, visit our website. Feedback? Questions? Comments?
