Church Of The Atonement

The topic is prayer. The theme is the uniqueness of Christian prayer, which it to say Christian prayer is spending time with God. This makes Christian prayer so different from prayer as it is practiced or recited by others. It is good to refresh ours understanding of prayer, because false ideas about prayer will lead us to conclude that prayer is boring and will justify the excuses we make for not praying. There is no hidden agenda with this sermon. I hope the immediate impact of the message is to lead many more of you to sign up and come to the Prayer Vigil. God has things to teach you about himself as you spend time with him, and that will change the way you see prayer, because it changes the way you see him. Scripture says draw near to the Lord and he will draw near to you. The idea is thrilling. We come to the Lord saying, “I want to know you” or “I want to know you better.” He is right there, saying, “Good. Did you know….?”
