The Model Prayer Part 3 - Jesus teaches us how to pray

The Model Prayer part 2, Matthew 6, learn what Jesus says about how to pray.

Matthew 6 - The Model Prayer, a call to getting back to the prayer closet and praying biblicaly.

James 2:14. Your works prove your claim of faith. We are not proclaiming a works based salvation. But I am teaching that your works prove the faith you claim to have. No, those works will not save you, but they will prove your salvation by faith.

1 Peter 5:10. If anyone would know, Peter would know that God rebuilds what the devil tore down. We see in Peter’s life a rollercoaster faith. Much like ours, it had it’s ups and downs. Yet, through it all, Peter walked with Jesus.

John 12:27-28. In these verses, we see a trial prayer that we can use when we go through time of testing. Jesus makes an astonishing statement here, then reveals the proper prayer we should use in our trials.

Acts 5:28-33. It’s important in life to take wise counsel. The religious leaders in their time was so furious with Peter and John that they sought to kill them. Yet, one of their own, cautioned against it and provided the leaders wise counsel that they agreed with.

Acts 4:14-20. Can people tell that you had been with Jesus? Peter and John displayed great boldness during their encounter with the religious leaders, despite their threats. How can we be bold in our world today?

Acts 4:13. Can people tell that you have been with Jesus? The religious leaders of their time noted that Peter and John had been with Jesus. If you were on trial today, is there enough evidence that you had been with Jesus to convict you?

Mark 6:1-8. None of us like to hear the word “Rejected.”It points to being alone, loneliness, not following. In His hometown, Jesus was rejected, because the people failed to see Jesus for who He is.

2 Peter 3:14-18. We must make sure we do not fall victim to false teachers and false doctrines. Peter warns us, in these verses, that people will twist around the Bible leading to their destruction. The only way to make sure we do not fall victim is to grow in the knowledge of Jesus, by studying, reading and applying the Bible to our lives.

Luke 2:1-20, Matthew 2:1-12. Merry Christmas! Reading of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 23:1-7. The question Are You a Pharisee is one we must ask ourselves often. Without realizing it, we can slip into Phariseeism without realizing it. In these passages, Jesus teaches us what to watch out for so we don’t become like the Pharisees of His time.

Selected verses in Matthew 6. But in Secret, that is how we are to do our spiritual acts, like giving, praying and fasting. Why does Jesus emphasize doing these things in secret, rather than publicly? Because we would end up striving for the approval of men, instead of the reward of God.

Mark 12:41-44. The widow gave it all to the temple treasury. What things are we withholding from God?

Mark 12:13-17. What Does God Require is an age old question that many of us tend to struggle with. After all, there is teachings for and against just about every act in the Bible. Today, we are going to look at a story where the religious leaders tried to trap Jesus in His words. Then look at a few things that, I believe, Gos still requires of you and me today. This will not be an exhaustive list, but one to spur your study.

Haggai 1:2-11. Twice, God warned the people of Jerusalem to Consider Your Ways. the temple of God was in ruins while they were rebuilding their homes and lives ad possessions. Like us today, they were putting things ahead of God. take a few minutes and listen to this episode and see how I believe it applies to us today.

Matthew 13:3-9 and 19-23. In Parables The Sower, Jesus tells the story of a farmer who is planting his seed. He teaches 4 different areas the seeds fell, and what the outcome of those seeds were. I believe each and every one of us falls into one of those types of soil. Which are you?
