    Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians serves as a terrific model for praying for each other (and our churches, in general).

    Just for fun, let’s start with a trick question today. How many letters to the Ephesians are there in the New Testament? Well, I said it was a trick question. There are at least two. There is one that we’ll be looking at this morning and there is one in Revelation 2. You see, Ephesus was an ...read more

    Paul prays for believers to experience Christ-likeness, not just on an individual level, but on a corporate level as a local body of believers.

    (Show Video—Stethoscope) Last time, we looked to Paul’s prayer here and noted that he asks for God’s power to work in the lives of the Ephesian believers so that they might enter into Christ-likeness. We pointed out how Christ-likeness is something for us to enter into - to receive, rather than ...read more

    God is in control, therefore we can pray for Him to not lead us into temptation and deliver us from evil.

    Tonight we come to the end of our study in the Lord’s Prayer. And we end right back where we started. We end with recognizing God for who He is. We end with praising Him for His kingdom. For His power. And for His glory. But before Jesus takes us there, He takes us to a much more difficult ...read more

    When we pray, "Thy will be done," we are committing ourselves to desire, discover, and do the will of God with grateful hearts.

    Warren Wiersbe says that, from time to time, he has counseled with people who were actually afraid of the will of God. They were terrified at the thought of surrendering themselves completely to him. The idea disturbed them because they had concluded that the will of God was something painful and ...read more

    It is interesting to listen to people pray. Each person has his own unique way of expressing himself to God.

    Illus: For example, a man in Columbia, South Carolina, was led to the Lord late in life. He was a slow talking southerner. When he prayed publicly, everyone enjoyed listening to him because of his slow southern drawl, and because he was sincere. When he prayed it sounded like he was having a ...read more
