| 0:46.5 | Pastor Adriel, this is from Angie, and she says, I have two questions. First, if God is Triune, the |
| 0:53.1 | Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, why did Jesus |
| 0:55.8 | teach the disciples to pray by saying, Our Father, who art in heaven, rather than to pray to |
| 1:01.0 | the Triune God? And second, why do Christians pray to the Trinity and each person of the Trinity |
| 1:06.4 | individually, rather than just praying to the Father as Jesus taught the disciples. |
| 1:11.7 | Thank you for that question, Angie. Of course, you're bringing us to Jesus' sermon on the Mount in |

| 1:30.2 | Trinity and prayer at times? Why can I pray to Jesus or to the Holy Spirit? Well, a couple of things. |
| 1:35.1 | First, we do ordinarily pray to the Father through the mediation of the Son. Jesus is our great |

| 1:45.3 | This is why we pray in Jesus' name. And by the power of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit helps us in our |
| 1:51.2 | weaknesses, Paul says, in Romans in the context of prayer and offering up our own prayers. And so we do. |
