The Problem with Religion (Part 1)

GraceTalk 05-24-26

We value asking questions to better understand how to live life in a God-centered, Christ-exalting way. We believe that church should be the best place in which people can get solid answers to life’s questions from God’s Word. 1. (1:38) What should I do when my immediate family rejects my faith? I live with them, and the way they live makes it hard to enjoy being in the home. 2. (21:15) How do I stay close to God when I don’t feel anything spiritually. Shouldn’t I feel close to God if I am living a spiritual life? 3. (33:04) What does it look like to “walk worthy” (Ephesians 4:1) in my current season—at home, work, and in unseen moments? How should I live to be confident that I am doing this?

Most Christians know they should pray, yet many struggle with what to say, or even why they should pray at all if God already knows their needs. In Luke 11:5–13, Jesus reminds His disciples that prayer is not about perfect words or polished performance, but trusting a good Father who gladly welcomes His children to come to Him again and again. (Luke 11:1-13)

Lord, Teach Us To Pray, Part 1 (Luke 11:1-13)

Prayer is one of the most familiar practices in the Christian life, yet often one of the most misunderstood. In Luke 11:1-13, Jesus teaches His disciples that prayer is not merely about saying the right words, but about an outlook shaped by His Glory, Kingdom, and grace for daily life. (Luke 11:1-13)

The Problem with Religion (Part 2)

Today, we watch Jesus confront and reframe a man shaped by a religious mindset—one that seeks limits to preserve comfort and maintain control. If we desire true freedom and an authentic walk with Christ, we must pursue the good of others—even when it becomes personally costly.
