Prayer: To Whom Do We Talk?

Summary

The sermon explores Jesus' teaching on prayer from Matthew 6, emphasizing the importance of praying with the right motive—intimately and sincerely to God rather than for public show. It highlights the model prayer as a guide prioritizing God's holiness and kingdom before personal needs, and stresses that prayer is a personal conversation with God who knows our needs before we ask. The preacher also discusses God's active response to sincere prayers, the necessity of forgiveness, and the spiritual growth that comes from learning to pray and live according to God's will.
