Prayer - wk1

"Why Pray"

Dr. Gary Singleton

Are there really rules that we need to follow when we pray?  This Sunday we are starting a new sermon series on prayer.  We are going to look at things like why we pray and how we should pray.  We’re going to talk about intercessory prayer, and why some of our prayers seem to go unanswered.  It seems like prayer is something we all know we should do, and yet so many of us struggle with it.
 
We are starting this sermon series with a look at what Jesus taught us about prayer in the Parable of the Persistent Widow.  Jesus used parables to make a point, and His point in this passage is clearly stated in Luke 18:1.  Jesus tells us that we “ought always to pray and not lose heart.”
