Teaching about Prayer
 
Matthew 6:5-13 “When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! 9 Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins,
 as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.

Why is it Important for us to Pray?

2. BUILDING UP THE CHURCH
1. The Believers Form a Community
2. The Believers Pray for Courage

We gather and pray together corporately:
•To humble ourselves before the Lord.
•To be united in prayer
•To pray together for our church family
•To strengthen each other through sharing and testimonies
•To pray and encourage one another.

The most sincere encouragement that we can give to someone is through prayer.

How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! Psalm 133:1
