Series: Faith and Prayer
Pastor Chris Brown
1 Samuel 4:1-22
Prayer:
How Most People Think It Works
1. Tell God that you need help.
1 Samuel 4:1-3
2. Tell God what to do.
1 Samuel 4:3
3. Believe that God will answer.
1 Samuel 4:4-5
Prayer:
The All Too Common Result
- Frustration, bitterness, and resentment toward God.
1 Samuel 4:7-22, Proverbs 19:2-3
Prayer:
What The Bible Actually Says
- God's guidance is based on our obedience.
1 Samuel 2:30, 2 Chronicles 7:14-15, Exodus 19:5-6, Isaiah 58, 59:1-3, James 5:16,
1 John 3:22, Jeremiah 29:13, Deuteronomy 1:43-46, Proverbs 28:9, Micah 3:4
