Friends Church Sermons

We began two weeks ago to look at this longest teaching of Jesus on the subject of prayer. We started in verse 9 last week looking at the framework for prayer give by Jesus and how we can hang our prayers on the framework of His words. I want to remind you that these are not the only words that can be used as a framework for prayer. Almost any scripture can be used this way. We started with the first 6 words – Our Father who art in heaven and found in them both the establishment of our position as sons/daughters but also the establishment of our faith in Him as Father. We continue this week with the first set of three petitions made within the prayer.
