Life in the Spirit – Prayer 2

Matt. 6:5-8 “… But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. … Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”

Prayer is not about making people think you’re holy or religious. It’s about relationship with God, an honest dialog with the Trinity. What does your alone time with God look like these days?

Life in the Spirit – Prayer 1

Mark 11:15-17 – My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations

Jesus honored prayer; he was incensed to find ‘religious’ people profaning the Temple by trying to game the system instead of treating the Temple as a holy space for people to meet God. Let us (God’s people, the Church) become people of prayer, that God may be glorified and we may be changed.
