Questions at Core Christianity.com. First up today, let's go to Matthew, calling in from

St. Louis, Missouri. Matthew, what's your question for Adriel? Hi, Pastor Adriel. I'm just

really enjoy your guys' show. And I had a question about kind of Jewish prayers that kind of

corresponds to today. I've watched The Chosen recently, and it's a really fascinating take on

the Gospels and the story of Jesus and the apostles. But the most fascinating part to me was

kind of learning these old Jewish prayers that they would have been saying throughout the day, like the Shama or even morning prayers or evening prayers.

And I grew up in the church, and I just had never heard of these before until now.

And I was curious that there was a point in our church history where we stopped either

putting emphasis on those or just learning them altogether, because they seem like they'd be

really enriching. Totally. I think they are. And thanks for your encouragement. You know, it's really

interesting in Acts chapter 2, verse 42, it says that the early disciples devoted

themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship to the breaking of bread, the bread,

I think is a better translation, and the prayers.

And the prayers there are probably in reference to some of those prayers that you're thinking

about.
