Our Response (Matthew 6:14-15)
When we pray, we pray as forgiven people; therefore, our response should be to forgive other as we have been forgiven. It is the default of the Christian life and prayer.
Our Need (Matthew 6:11-13)
The Model prayer is centered around the two words, "Our Father," from that truth we learn that prayer is not about what we don't have but what we already have.
His Reign (Matthew 6:10)
Praying "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done," is good for our hearts. We struggle with misoriented prayer. That statement reminds that the mission of prayer is the magnification of God's kingdom, not ours.
His Name (Matthew 6:9)
The first two words of the Lord's or Model prayer, Our Father, reveal both the basis and purpose for our prayer. Those two words give us the confidence to come to the King of the universe as Father and puts us on mission to hallow his name.
When you Pray (Matthew 6:5-8)
This sermon opens our "When You Pray" series through the Model or Lord's Prayer. Here we see what the heart of prayer is, recognizing that it is not a performance, but it is desperation. Praying rightly is an understanding of who God is.
