Sermon on the Mount: Pray Like Jesus - Chris Dillon, Lead Pastor 03 17 24

New Life of Asheville Messages

It’s amazing that out of everything the disciples could have asked Jesus to teach them how to do (walk on water, turn water into wine, resurrect the dead, cast out demons) they ask Him how to … pray? What follows is a pattern of prayer that’s remarkable not for its length, but for its exquisite depth. Jesus teaches us that prayer is personal–we come to God as our Father, not as a distant deity. We come to Him in adoration and worship for His greatness and love. We petition for heaven to breakthrough in our lives, marriages, families, careers and neighborhoods. We ask for our daily needs with boldness, seek forgiveness with confidence, and beg for deliverance from the snares of our enemy. In this way, we plug into God’s presence and power in our lives. May we increasingly become a people of prayer at New Life as we learn the ancient ways of Jesus!
