Recap:
*Finish Chapter 5
*Last Week "Being Discreet" (Matthew 6:1-8, 16-18)
*What is your motive when you Give, Pray and Fast?
*Do you seek approval of God or of Man?
*Authentic Righteousness vs. Hypocritical Righteousness
*Today we will look at what is called "The Lord's Prayer." For Context.
*Luke 11:1-4: Once Jesus was in a certain place praying. As he finished, one of his disciples came to him and said, "Lord teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples," Jesus said, This is how you should pray: "Father may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. Give us each day the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation."
*Remember Jesus says earlier in scripture (Matthew 6:5) "When you pray" At the very least it's an expectation for disciples of Jesus Christ to be a people of prayer.
*In the first part of verse 9, Jesus says pray like this. Today let's dive in and look at what does prayer look like from the model Jesus gives us in scripture.
