Prayer

Intro

Prayer as a means of Grace

What is a mean of grace?

We as Christians have been given means by which we come to receive the benefits of being united with Christ. These are what many theologians have come to name the “means of grace”. Like many doctrines that we hold to be true, like the providence of God or the Trinity, the phrase means of grace is not explicitly found in the Bible, but instead it is demonstrated by a variety of New Testament passages.

How prayer is a mean of grace

I have mining this topic of prayer all week and have discovered some incredible reservoirs of gold that I want to share with you.

Maybe Split sermon into two? Taking a hold of ourselves and taking a hold of God.

Notes for Taking a Hold of Ourselves (and other notes)

B.B. Warfield- do we believe in just prayer but not its answer? In other words, do we reflexively pray without expecting or believing there will be an answer from God?

Do you have an embodied prayer? Living your whole life as a prayer?
