A word of prayer is followed by Scripture reading from Ephesians 2:11-18 (5:12-9:19). The choir sings a song of worship (9:20-12:27). Culpepper speaks on prayer to the Father through Jesus the Son in the Spirit, focusing on Ephesians 2:18 (12:28-14:51). He expresses that we need to remember to whom our prayers are addressed: to God as the Father, which is a dominate image of God (14:52-17:00). To address God as “Father” is to recognize Him in a personal, accessible, and intimate relationship, not necessarily to identify Him as male (17:01-21:15). Culpepper then discusses that we need to understand God’s holiness and thus approach Him with reverence and awe (21:16-22:07). Despite our sinfulness, we can come to God through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus and through the Holy Spirit when we conform to God’s will (22:08-28:47). Jesus serves as our model of prayer and ultimately, the Holy Spirit makes us want to pray and teaches us how to pray (28:48-32:13). Culpepper closes with saying that Christian prayer, through Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit, is directed to one who is concerned about us (32:14-33:56). The benediction is given (32:44-33:56).
