Weekly Update 3/1

"The Lord's Prayer: An Introduction"
A Model For Our Lives

(Matthew 6:5-8)
  1. When "acts of righteousness" are done, we must have the right motive and the right audience.  (Why and who are we praying to?)
  2. Our "acts of righteousness" are to come as a response from within our relationship with God.
    (Close the door of distraction.)
  3. Follow the example of early 2nd century Christians - recite the Lord's Prayer three times a day.
    (Say it out loud.)
  4. But, don't neglect the power of spontaneous prayer.
    (Neh. 2:1-5)
  5. Understand that prayer, especially the Lord's Prayer, is not for getting what we want but rather accepting what God wants.
