    Prayer And The Lord's Prayer

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Feb 24, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,455 views

    Matthew 6 verses 5 – 13 PRAYING and THE LORD'S PRAYER Jesus based his teachings, and advice, and especially his parables on things, events and situations, that would be instantly recognisable and understandable to the people He was addressing. So, when He said ‘When you pray, do not ...read more
