Prayer and the Poor
We’re going through the Sermon on the Mount each week, and now we come to the most famous part of the most famous sermon in history, which is the Lord’s Prayer. The thing we have working against us with the Lord’s Prayer is the familiarity. We know it too well.
Let’s see what Jesus tells us here about the foundation for prayer, the substance of prayer, and then the key to having a rightly founded, substantial, effective prayer life. The foundation for it, the substance of it, and the key to it.
This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 27, 2012. Series "Savior and Teacher - A Study of Matthew ". Scripture: Matthew 6:1-15.
