Can You Hear Me

Series Description

Can You Hear Me is the second series in the Andy Stanley Collection, a collection of series and teaching scripts that provide powerful, simple truths delivered in a style that is straight-forward and conversational. Here is the premise of the Can You Hear Me? series:

Doesn't it seem like there should be more to prayer than just our typical "Help me, bless me, protect me, give to me" prayers? That prayer has to be more than just us making our requests known to God--because doesn't God already know everything that's going on in our lives? It's like there's some secret, some mystery we have to unlock so we can "get through" to God. If we can just say the right words, maybe we can break the code and get a "yes" to all our requests. But what if prayer was something much bigger than that? What if prayer went beyond us getting what we wanted, and became how we grew closer to God's heart? What if prayer wasn't just about changing our present situation, what if it was about changing us?

Session 1: CUL8R (see you later) 
Bottom Line: Intentional prayer paves the way for intimacy and relationship.

Session 2: WAN2TLK (want to talk?) 
Bottom Line: When we pray, we are to acknowledge God's greatness, surrender our will and declare our dependency.

Session 3: BBT (be back tomorrow) 
Bottom Line: Your persistence in prayer has the potential to move the heart of God.

The XP: The XP for this series is an individual experience, encouraged by the small group leaders. We are making the XP for this series available only as a Word doc since small group leaders will need to cut/paste questions and e-mail them to their students.
