Would you like to attend a Christian Womens Fellowship that is designed to challenge you to go deeper in your relationship with Christ..then this is the group for you. This group is made up of women all ages and stages in life. Any denomination or any religious background are welcome. We meet together every Tuesday evening at 7:30PM at Media Church in Oxford. www.mmchurch.org .
We recently finished a study on the Lord's Prayer.. I have recited the Lord's Prayer many times in the past, and to be quite frank with you, didn't really appreciate it like I should. It seemed to "religious" to me. I would much rather pray my words from my heart so what a surprise when I decided to do a study on Prayer and sensed God telling me to begin with the Lord's Prayer. When God speaks...I listen and I'm so glad I did!
The Lord's Prayer is a prayer given by God to God's Son (Jesus Christ) for us when the disciples asked him to teach them how to pray. (Luke 11:1) The Lord's Prayer is also recorded in Matthew 6:9-13 as an example of how we are to pray. So don't you think we should take it seriously? It is the perfect prayer which covers all area's of prayer. When we pray this prayer from our hearts, it pleases our heavenly Father, and He takes note of it.
I know I will never be able to say this specific prayer as I have in the past....just reciting what I memorized from my head not really giving any real thought to what I am saying....it was nothing but vain repetition. (Matthew 6:7 kjv) The reason I wasn't connecting, was not the prayer, it was me.
Have you been connecting with God in prayer lately? If not why not? Are you experiencing life to the full as Jesus talked about? (John 10:10) If not why not? Is somthing missing in your life? Together we may be able to discover exactly what that is and things will begin to change for you.
The purpose of our Oaks Class is to come together and learn what it means to be a woman of faith, to study God's word and discuss how it applies to our lives today. What is it that we are doing right, and what is it that we are doing wrong? Together we encourage and pray for one another.
So come join our class. I would love to meet you! You can contact me at robinmartin3@hotmail.com for more info.
Joyfully Serving Jesus
