Today is the second week of our New Series
Investigating The Lord’s Prayer
Week 2 - Our Father in Heaven
Big Point - We can trust our Father in Heaven.
Key Bible Verse 1 John 3:1a The Father has loved us so much! He loved us so much that we are called children of God. And we really are His children.
Story The Prodigal Son Luke 15: 11-32
Overview. It’s interesting that Jesus starts His prayer with ‘Our Father in heaven’, because the disciples knew that Jesus was God’s Son, and so this phrase verifies that we are all God’s children - He is our Heavenly Father too.
This also personalises our prayers because we aren’t talking to someone we don’t know, or who doesn’t know us - but instead we are talking to ‘Our Father in Heaven’.
Our Heavenly Father is perfect. He knows our flaws, our strengths, our desires, everything about us and He loves us with an unbreaking, everlasting love. He will never let us down.
We want the children to learn that they love and compassion and willingness to forgive the Father had for his son in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, is just like the unconditional love, compassion and willingness to forgive our Heavenly Father has for us.

I Can Talk To God
In this 10 week series we will teach the children the different things we can talk to God about and encourage them to do that.
Right from a young age we want to encourage them to talk to God, learn to hear His voice and have a simple understanding of what prayer is and how they can have direct access to their Heavenly Father, their Saviour Jesus, and their Helper the Holy Spirit.

Investigating The Lord’s Prayer with The Detectives
Jesus taught the Lord's Prayer as a guide for us to pray.
Showing us to praise God (Our Father, hallowed be Your name), ask for His kingdom to come and His will to be done (like heaven on earth), ask for daily needs (daily bread), ask for forgiveness and to forgive others, and ask for protection from evil/temptation.
Teaching that prayer is a way to talk to God about everything, not just a formula.
Each session focuses on breaking down each part: God's love as a Father, honouring Him, seeking His plans, needing His help daily, forgiving others like He forgives us, and asking for strength against wrong choices.
But it’s not about learning a list of words or phrases; it’s about speaking from the heart and having a two way conversation with God and learning to hear His voice.
Each week we join Detectives Kate, Suchin, Ava, Mikel - aka Mike and Doug the Dog as they uncover the truth behind the ancient document called The Lord’s Prayer which Colonial Fluffweasel has instructed them to do.
