The Greatest Prayer Part 2

March 28, 2024

We’re currently developing a study in Matthew, and spending a little extra time here in the Sermon on the Mount.  Today we come back to chapter six for more valuable instruction for our prayer lives. This is how we’re to be praying.  As we go along you’ll learn about God’s person, His purpose, provision, pardon, protection and preeminence.  

References: Matthew 6:9-15

Perhaps you’ve read a few books, listened to some podcasts, or even attended a seminar on prayer.  That can all be helpful, but how would you like to hear what Jesus has to say on the subject?  You’ll have that opportunity today.  You might look at this as a model for prayer!

How’s your prayer life going these days?  Many of us would readily admit, it’s not where we’d like it to be.  And others aren’t sure how to go about it.  Today’s Sound Doctrine will be of great encouragement to you, as we hear from Jesus on how to pray.   There is a right and wrong way to pray.  Turn with us to Matthew chapter six, where we’ll focus on verses 5-8.

Today on Sound Doctrine, we’ll examine the way to communicate with God the Father, through our representative Jesus Christ.  And it hasn’t changed a bit over the years. Pastor Jeff Johnson is currently teaching us from the Sermon on the Mount, and he’s encouraging us from the sixty-six word prayer in chapter six that shows us how to pray.

Hey growing up did your parents chart your growth on a wall somewhere in the house?  There’d be little marks with dates beside it, showing you how much you’ve grown over the years!  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll learn that the same should happen in our spiritual development.  Christians should be growing over time, and if we aren’t, there’s something wrong!

When you give- who’s approval and applause are you seeking?  Man’s or God’s?   We’ll allow that penetrating question to examine our own hearts today on Sound Doctrine. Today we’ll be covering the first few verses of Matthew six.  Throughout the Scriptures we’re encouraged to give.  But as we’ll see in our study today, Jesus has His eye on more than just our outward actions.  He’s also concerned with why we’re doing what we’re doing, and even how we do it!  Here’s our teacher, pastor Jeff Johnson focusing on how we’re to live righteously.

We’ve reached Matthew chapter six today where you could say we’ve entered a practical portion of Scripture.  We’ll be talking about practicing righteousness, and practicing the presence of God.  For some it’s comforting to realize God is with me at all times, and to others it makes them uneasy!

Loving those that love you… no biggie!  Loving your enemies and doing good to them, pray for them… well now that seems like a tall order.  What may seem impossible to us, is made possible as we walk in the Spirit.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll discover that this Kingdom living is possible by the power of God living within us.  We’re making our way through the Sermon on the Mount, and we aim to complete chapter five today.

We’re told in Scripture to expect persecution, and we’ll be hated and mistreated even as Jesus was.  But how do we treat those we might classify as an enemy?  We’re about to find out on Sound Doctrine as we turn back to the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapter five.  Jesus is about to tell us to love, bless and pray for them!  Overcome evil with good.  Let’s be encouraged in that direction as we present part two of, “Kingdom Living!”

We’ve all been hurt by the words of actions of another, and it’s about that time thoughts of retaliation my come to mind.  "Get em back for what they’ve done to you," some would tell us.  But Jesus would have us go in a much different direction.  Turn with us to Matthew chapter five, and verses thirty-eight through forty-two as we learn more about Kingdom Living on Sound Doctrine.

God has made it possible to come clean and receive forgiveness.  He loves us so much that He sent His son to die for our sins so that we wouldn’t have to die in our sins. With that great truth in mind, why wouldn’t we be willing to simply receive forgiveness.... and forgive others?
