This week at Eastbrook, I continued our series “Pray Like Jesus” with a message entitled “Jesus on How We Should Pray” from Matthew 6:5-8. The main point of my message is that prayer is powerful because of our relationship with Father God.

You can listen to my message online at the Eastbrook web-site here. You can also follow Eastbrook Church on Twitter. I’ve included the outline for the message below:

Two Mistakes About Prayer (Matthew 6:5, 7)

• Wrong love – like hypocrites who love to be seen by people
• Wrong thinking – like pagans who babble in order to be heard

Praying to Your Father (Matthew 6:6-8)

• The ‘who’ of prayer
• The unique relationship of prayer

Praying in Secret (Matthew 6:6)

• The secret place
• The secret reward

Praying with Trust (Matthew 6:7)

• The Father’s knowledge
• The Father’s character
