Friends Church Sermons

We started this series several weeks ago with a disciples earnest plea. One of the twelve watches Jesus as He prays and comes to Him and says “Lord teach us to pray”. This morning I want to bring us back to the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus teaching on prayer for I think will be the final time. I want to use it as a launching point to share with you some final thoughts about prayer this week and next week. Jesus calls us to pray in the inner room – it’s possible that He is being very literal here and intends to say that when we pray we should find a quiet, private room with little in the way of distraction and pray in that spot. It is also probable in my opinion that He is speaking both literally and figuratively about an inner room for prayer. It’s time for each of us as disciples of Christ to construct an inner room where we can pray and that is what I want to talk to you about this week.
