We assume we already know what it means, and in doing so, we miss the depth and power Jesus intended. In this six-day plan, you’ll rediscover the prayer through six lenses of context—history, geography, culture, language, literary design, and visual backgrounds—that open up its original meaning. As you explore these dimensions, you’ll see how this ancient prayer is not just words to recite but an invitation to step into Jesus’ mission of bringing heaven to earth.

We have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.

Behind Jesus’ prayer are some principles about how to pray for those we disciple. Here are eight words to help you pray for your disciples.
