Sermon: "The Purpose of Prayer" (Matthew 6:7-8)

Why do you pray? That's a very important question because it gets to the answer of purpose. After all, if prayer doesn't have some important purpose, then why do it? But, on the other hand, if prayer has a significant purpose, then we should be much more engaged in the habit than we currently are.

So, this sermon dives into Matthew 6:7-8 and discovers why we should engage in prayer. It concludes by looking at a few principles that can help us enjoy prayer's purpose.

Sermon: "Habits of Highly Effective Prayer Warriors" (Matthew 6:6)

You know you need to pray but if you are like many other followers of Jesus, your prayer life just isn't that fun or rewarding. If this is the case, it's probably due to one of two reasons: 1) you were never taught how to prayer and how it works or 2) you just aren't seeing many answers to your prayers.

Fortunately, Jesus has given us much information regarding prayer in Matthew 6. This sermon dives into Matthew 6:6 and investigates four habits that must be true if our prayer life is to be fun and our prayers are getting answered.

Sermon: "The Power of Prayer" (Matthew 6:5-6)

The #1 movie in America last week (and possibly this week, too!) is called War Room and it’s all about prayer. The primary intent of the movie seems to be to encourage viewers to engage God in prayer and do their fighting on their knees in their “prayer closet” (or War Room).

As we continue our study in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), we come this morning to the text that is the basis for the movie. Since I believe that God is presently calling us as individuals, as churches and as a nation back to Himself, we will camp out on these verses for at least a couple of Sundays and discover what prayer really is, how it works, and how we can become prayer warriors.
