Always Pray & Don't Give Up 2, Heart Not Words
Jesus said, "when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full." Where too often Christians get all bound up in the words of their praying, Jesus, using the Pharisees as an example of what not to do, says prayer is about heart over words. Join Terry for a study reflecting on the admonition of Jesus in Luke 18:1: always pray and don't give up, as illustrated by a portion of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew's Gospel.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
