    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2025
     | 169 views

    During the days of the apostle Paul, there were no Bible colleges and seminaries as we have today to train young ministers as we have.

And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. “Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.

    The beginning of the Lord's Prayer is the words "Our Father in heaven." This starts our prayer with the fact that we are asking for help. How does this phrase encourage us in that direction?

    - A couple opening points for the sermon series as a whole. - First, the Lord’s Prayer is a good antidote to our limited prayer life. - Many of us have prayer lives that are largely limited to asking for stuff, whether it’s for ourselves or for others. Now, that's a good thing to do, but ...read more
