     | 112 views

    This Psalm is sometimes called "Israel Anthem of Prayer. It encourages us to pray when we are about to enter into a difficult time of situation. The message is not original with me. I'm not even sure who to attribute it to, I found it in some of my old sermon notes.

    This passage of Scripture teaches us that when we pray to the Lord, and even give monetarily, that it is to be done entirely for Him and not as a public display for others. Every act of worship is to be seen only by an audience of One.

Allow me to share some of the lyrics of this song: “I come on my knees, to lay down before You; bringing all that I am, longing only to know You. Seeking Your face, and not ...read more

    "When You Pray" is an exposition of Matthew 6:5-8. In this passage, Jesus tells us what not to do when we pray. His instruction can be summarized with two prohibitions: (1) Do not pray like the hypocrites. And (2) do not pray like the Gentiles.

    WHEN YOU PRAY Matthew 6:5-8 There is a principle of Bible interpretation called the principle of repeated mention. It means that the repeated things in scripture are usually the emphasized things. This principle leads us to the theme of our text. Verse 5 begins, “And when you pray.” Verse 6 ...read more
