Matthew 6:5-
Prayer
Review,
Matthew
A gospel
Sermon on the Mount
Three examples of righteous living
Introduction
Jesus makes several extra points about the second example (Prayer)
Today, we are going to look deeper at Jesus teaching on prayer.
POINT ONE
I’m not going to spend much time on this point since we covered it last week
I. How Not to Pray (part 1): Don’t Pray to be Seen (6:5-6)
Application: Have a personal prayer life
POINT TWO
Matthew 6:7-8
Jesus repeats the opening phrase “and when you pray” from verse 5, signaling a second point on Prayer
“do not heap up empty phrases:”
Difficult word to translate
Look at NIV
Explain, “keep on babbling”
Jews babbled “like Pagans”
All religions have a form of repetitive prayer
II.
How Not to Pray (part 2): Don’t Pray Just to Pray (6:7-8)
Application: Hail Marys, Thinking God will answer you because you Pray a lot.
Don’t be thoughtless in your prayer!
Pray much, not so God will answer you but because you desire to communicate with Him.
POINT THREE
Matthew 6:9
“Pray then like this” bring conclusion to Jesus’ thoughts
III.
