Sermon Notes:

“This, then, Is How You Should Pray”

Outline:

I. God intends for us to pray for material needs.

II. We are to be channels of forgiveness and not merely recipients.

Application:

  1. We are dependent upon God for our survival.
  2. We must move beyond our own needs to the needs of others.
  3. We must not allow greed to get in the way of grace.
  4. When we harden our hearts to another person, we also harden it to God.
  5. The alternative to forgiveness is not open to us.

Sermon Notes:

“This, then, Is How You Should Pray”

Points to Ponder:

  1. When “acts of righteousness” are done, we must have the right motive and the right audience.
  2. Our “acts of righteousness” are to come as a response from within our relationship with God.
  3. Follow the example of early 2nd century Christians—recite the Lord’s Prayer three times per day.
  4. But, don’t neglect the power of spontaneous prayer.
  5. Understand that prayer, especially the Lord’s Prayer, is not for getting what we want but rather accepting what God wants.
