Pattern For Powerful Prayer (14 of 14)
UNSHAKABLE TRUTH FOR UNCERTAIN TIMES

Matthew 6:9-13

As we come to our last lesson on "Unshakable Truth For Uncertain Times" we want to come to the doctrine of prayer. We call this a pattern for powerful prayer because today we're going to study the lesson Jesus gave the disciples on prayer. Now Jesus' prayer life was so powerful and so impressive to the disciples that they said, "Lord, teach us to pray." They were saying teach us to pray as you pray Lord. We want to get answers like you get. We want our prayer life to be effective like your prayer life is effective. Teach us to pray.

Jesus said "Except a man be born again he cannot enter the kingdom of God." And so we are born again, not by corruptible things such as silver and gold received f ...
