Our Focus in Prayer

Matthew 6:5-8

January 15, 2023 • Erik Miller • Matthew 6:5–8

On a mountain in Galilee, Jesus teaches his disciples in the hearing of the multitude what is known as the Sermon on the Mount. This is not a message to fill our heads with information but to guide us in our habits, customs, and behavior. To assist us in cultivating the practice of prayer, we will spend the next few weeks studying Jesus’ words on the subject in his sermon.

Lament

March 5, 2023 • Erik Miller • Psalm 13

Every person will face confusing hardship at some point in their life. Our gracious God knows this and has given us the gift of lament to help us as we face these things. Lament is praying to God, being honest about the difficulties of life, and renewing trust in His unchanging character.

Dependence & Trust

February 26, 2023 • Erik Miller • John 15:1–16

We acknowledge our dependence and trust in our Savior when we pray. Jesus goes on to say; “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”

Lead Us Not Into Temptation

February 19, 2023 • Erik Miller • James 1:13–15, Hebrews 4:14–16, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Matthew 6:13

We need God’s help with situations where we are vulnerable and have the opportunity to sin. God is faithful, compassionate and trustworthy-we can depend on Him to give a way out whenever temptations come our way. Overcome with us Sunday as we grow in our understanding of what we are asking when we pray this portion of Jesus’ prayer. Prepare for the message by reading Matthew 6:13 with James 1:13-15; Hebrews 4:14-16; and 1 Corinthians 10:13
