Following Jesus's discourse in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6 on the actions of the hypocritical religious, specifically how not to pray boastfully and vainly, our Lord then gives a model that should guide our prayer life, embodied in what we know to be "The Lord's Prayer". Rather than a specific prayer that we are recite my rote memory, Jesus offers his disciples a format that should guide our prayer life. In this sermon, we cover the first half of the Lord's Prayer that gives us vital perspectives of God that we should hold to when going to God in prayer.

As we close out our series on prayer, we look at some final fruit that can be experienced in a mature prayer life. These fruit - unity, healing, wisdom, faith, and love - along with those looked at in the previous message, although are not an exhaustive list of the fruit of prayer, provide for us a well-rounded look at what we can expect from faithful and committed prayer, as we seek the presence of God, gain renewed perspectives, and connect to the very power of God almighty!
Prayer, Pt. 8

We are taught by our Lord that if we abide in him, we will bear much fruit. That has important implications for the child of God, especially when it comes to our prayer lives. So when we pray in the name of Jesus and connect our prayers to the power of the Holy Spirit, our prayers will bear much fruit. Today we will look at 4 fruit that will promise to transform our prayer lives and help us to be more fruitful in God's kingdom.
Prayer, Pt. 7
May 30, 2021 • Pastor Jeremy Dente
Throughout the Scriptures, we see various types of prayers that God's people have included in their prayer time, all of which help the child of God develop a more biblically mature sense of God's presence, a renewed perspective on life, and a true realization of the power of prayer. In this message we'll examine the various types of prayer and how we can incorporate them into our daily routines of communicating with God.
