The Savior's Practice of Prayer
Pray About the Father's Plan
John 17
Matthew Raley (02/28/10)
| We have many problems with prayer. Does prayer move God? How? If God does not change his mind, then why should we pray at all? John answers these questions.
In this sermon we will see that prayer is a privilege given to us for abiding in the fellowship of the Triune God. |

Pray for Your Role in the Father's Plan
John 17
Matthew Raley (03/07/10)
| Many Christians struggle with how to pray for themselves. What should I ask for? Are there things I shouldn’t ask for? How do I know my motivations are right? Isn’t it basically selfish to ask God to do things for me? In this prayer (John 17) Jesus makes many requests for himself. In this sermon we’ll see that we need to pray for ourselves. But prayer is our opportunity to shift our focus from ourselves to God, even in the midst of asking him to provide for our needs. |

Pray for Those the Father Gave You
John 17
Matthew Raley (03/14/10)
| A rich life in prayer focuses on God’s revealed plans and on our place in them. But our prayers need to go beyond that. We are to pray for the saints and make intercession for them.
In this sermon we will sell what intercession is. |
