Note

To leaders of study groups using this book, it is helpful for participants to have their own copy and to have read the designated chapter prior to coming to the session. They will also want to have Bibles present. There are seven sessions laid out, though one could combine sessions 1 and 2 to form a six-week series. You will find that there are more questions here than can be explored in an hour and a half session, so use those questions that fit best with your needs.

This study guide is designed to accompany the book Ultimate Allegiance: The Subversive Nature of the Lord’s Prayer by Robert D. Cornwall (Energion Publications, 2010).
