Prayer

Few things reveal the true condition of a Christian’s spiritual life like prayer.

In Part 7 of the Back to The Basics series, Pastor Marc Williamson teaches from Matthew 6:5–15 on the vital subject of prayer. Jesus shows us not only how to pray, but also the attitudes we must forsake and the pattern we must follow if we are to enjoy real fellowship with God.

Prayer is more than a spiritual discipline—it is the barometer of the soul. It reveals our devotion to God, our dependence upon Him, and our true desire for Him. In this message, we are reminded that prayer is not to be hypocritical, mechanical, or reserved only for emergencies. Instead, it is the gracious gift God has given His children so they may commune with their Heavenly Father, seek His will, confess sin, depend on His provision, and rejoice in His glory.

This message explores:

The pretense to forsake in prayer

The pattern to follow in prayer

The seriousness of forgiving others if we want fellowship with God

Why prayer is essential for spiritual strength, victory, guidance, and growth

Jesus teaches us to pray with humility, reverence, submission, repentance, dependence, and praise. If we want a stronger walk with the Lord, a stronger family, and a stronger church, then we must have stronger prayer lives.
