What Prayer Is
Jerry Vines
Matthew 6:9-15
I would like for you to turn in your Bible to the Matthew 6 and I want to read verses 9-13. We are moving together through the sermon on the mount given by the Lord Jesus, the greatest preacher who ever lived, the greatest sermon ever delivered. We are taking our time because there is so much good material there and so many things that we need for our daily lives that I don't want to rush by it.
Matthew 6:9-13, this is what Jesus said about prayer: "After this manner therefore pray ye; our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen."

We know that Jesus healed people and we know that the healing ministry of Jesus had to have been impressive to the disciples. In fact, there were times that Jesus raised people from the dead. That had to make an impact upon their lives. Yet, when you consider everything they saw and heard in the life of Jesus it is significant to know that they ca ...
