Sermon on the Mount: Prayer

Apr 28, 2024    Gabriel Adeneye

This sermon focuses on Jesus' teachings about prayer from the Sermon on the Mount. Gabriel emphasizes that prayer should be a central practice in the life of a believer, just like breathing is central to physical life. He warns against two dangers in prayer: praying to be seen by others (hypocrisy) and praying with empty repetitions. Instead, Jesus teaches his followers to pray with sincere hearts to God as their Father, understanding that He already knows their needs. The Lord's Prayer is presented as a model, highlighting the importance of aligning one's heart with God’s will. The sermon concludes by urging listeners to make prayer a lifestyle of constant communication with God, seeking His help, expressing thankfulness, and pursuing a deeper relationship with Him.
