From Sunday 21 June 2026 Dr. Colin McCulloch has a message titled "Watch and Pray" -Matthew 26:41 fbcmw.org
We must follow Jesus' example and be fervent in prayer to overcome temptations and obey the Father's will.
Pastor Seth Troutt opens our new series, “How to Pray,” by looking at Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 on how *not* to pray.Many of us know prayer is important but feel distant from God or disappointed with our prayer lives. In this message, Pastor Seth contrasts performative, manipulative, and “magical” views of prayer with the simple, honest, and secure approach Jesus invites us into—talking to God as our Father.You'll learn:- The assumption Jesus makes: Christians *will* pray - Two common distortions of prayer (hypocritical religion and pagan “many words”) - Why God already knowing your needs changes how you pray - The importance of secrecy and a private prayer life - Practical ideas for what to do in daily prayerThis is Part 1 of our “How to Pray” series through the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6. Join us as we learn to move from going through the motions to enjoying real communion with our Father in heaven.00:00 - Introduction07:19 - The Assumption: when you pray14:14 - The Antithesis: manipulative religion28:27 - The Answer: security & secrecy**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Jesus continues to teach us about how we should live as His disciples. This morning, we'll take a look at what Jesus says about prayer—an activity that was absolutely critical to His work. In this section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us two guidelines and a pattern for prayer. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

Pastor Freddy T. delivers a message from Matthew 6:5-7, Philippians 4:6-7, and 1 Peter 5:6-7. Listen in as Freddy shares with us 3 reasons Why We Pray.
In this episode of 2 Minute Disciple, host Nick Oyler leads a contemplative devotional through Matthew 6:9–13 — the Lord's Prayer. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, He didn't give them a theology lecture. He gave them a prayer. Every line worth a lifetime of reflection.
Prayer is something most Christians know is important, but many still struggle with it. Pastor Jason walks us through Matthew 6:9–15, and Jesus' example to His disciples on how to pray, giving us a rhythm that begins with God's glory and leads us into daily dependence on Him.

Sunday Morning, November 9, 2025The Great Commission - to pray ... Matthew 28:16-20A message delivered by Chip Yoder
Church planting resident Brandon Smith concludes our series, Teach Us To Pray!
“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!” (Matthew 6:7–8 NLT) We’re going to look at prayer over the next few days. To be a growing Christian, you must have an active prayer life. You must communicate with and listen to God regularly. Some church traditions suggest that there are proper and improper ways to pray. That God prefers us to be formal, dignified, and reverent, and to use precise and proper words in a precise and proper cadence. But that’s not necessarily so. Prayer is a conversation. Like other conversations, it can be formal or informal. Certainly, we can’t help but be reverent when we find ourselves in God’s presence, but that doesn’t mean we have to be formal, dignified, proper, or precise. It’s not like one prayer method or posture is more legitimate than another. You can pray in any position at any time in any place. Sometimes we may feel as though the Lord will respond to our prayers more quickly if we pray in a church sanctuary. But that’s not true at all. Daniel prayed in a lion’s den. David prayed in a field. Peter prayed while he walked on water—and then a few moments later when he was underwater. Jonah prayed from even greater depths from the belly of a large fish. God will hear your prayers wherever you are. Your prayers can and should fit your circumstances. You can pray publicly. You can pray privately. You can pray verbally. You can pray silently. You can pray while kneeling, standing, sitting, lying down, or even driving. You can lift your eyes to Heaven and pray. You can close your eyes and pray—as long as you’re not driving. Your prayers don’t have to impress anyone. They don’t have to inspire “Amens” from the congregation. They don’t have to show off your biblical knowledge or vocabulary. In addition to His warning in Matthew 6:7–8 against praying as the Gentiles do, Jesus also said, “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” (Matthew 6:5 NLT). Your goal should be to create prayer habits that work for you—ones that deepen your unique relationship with your heavenly Father. If you prefer to be active, pray while you walk. If you prefer not to be distracted, pray in a private place. If you don’t like long conversations, pray in short bursts throughout the day. Incorporate the words of the psalmists or the lyrics of your favorite worship songs into your prayers. Create a dynamic prayer routine that challenges you, opens your heart to God’s leading, and works for your personality and your circumstances. Discover how prayer can change your life. Reflection question: How would you describe your prayer habits?

As we wrap up our “When You Pray” series, we're reminded of our complete dependence on God and we stand in awe of His faithful response. Over the past few weeks, we've celebrated powerful moments: lives transformed through baptism, a surge of people stepping up to serve, and a full room at our new members class. God is clearly moving in our church, and we give Him all the glory! We can do nothing without Him. We thank Him not only for what He's done, but for who He is, and who He continues to be in our lives. Today, as a church family, we prayed with expectation, asking for His blessing, His guidance, and His protection as we seek His will in all things.
In this message from Matthew 6:12, we explore the transformative power of forgiveness. Jesus teaches us that receiving God's grace and extending it to others go hand in hand. Forgiveness isn't easy—but it's a vital part of living in freedom and healing. Let's do the hard work of forgiving, just as we've been forgiven.
Our Father provides all that we need as we look to Him in grateful dependence. Matthew 6:11 reminds us that God is the source of every good thing we need—physically and spiritually. Jesus teaches us to pray not just for ourselves, but for one another, recognizing our shared dependence on the Father. In this episode, we explore how this simple request draws us into daily trust, deliberate community, and deep contentment in God's faithful provision.
Prayer isn't just about asking — it's about aligning. In this message, we explore what it means to seek God's will over our own. Drawing from Matthew 6:10, we're reminded that true prayer begins with surrender: “Thy will be done.” Learn how to pray not for what you want, but for what He desires.
Jesus begins the Lord's Prayer by grounding us in who we're speaking to: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.”This message reminds us that God is the holy and loving center of prayer—and that through Jesus, we're invited to call Him Father and come into His presence with confidence.
In Matthew 6:5–15, Jesus doesn't just teach how to pray—He teaches why. He invites us away from performance and into intimacy, showing us that real prayer is not about being seen by others but about being known by the Father. This message unpacks the Lord's Prayer as a model for simple, sincere, and powerful communion with God.
Join us this week as we walk through The Lord's Prayer.
Do you pray? Do you ever wonder how to pray or even feel like you're doing it wrong. Prayer is asking God. Prayer is a close conversation with our Heavenly Father. Today Pastor J is kicking off a new series about prayer. Do you know Jesus prayed? Yes, even the Son of God spent time alone with God in prayer. So we are gonna start this series asking God to teach us to pray. Let's pray together.Links to Lord's Prayer articles by Pastor J - https://www.1517.org/articles/forgive-us-our-trespassesRecorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, June 29, 2025, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.Powered by Restream https://restream.io/(Bensound Royality Free background music)
It is time this very minute to pray and seek God. Time to set our timers and pray for the minute. This podcast encourages us to stop for a minute and, now, in the presence of our Heavenly Father—with praise and prayer—worship Him in Jesus' name and in the power of the Holy Spirit. ———— *We do not own the rights to music played on this podcast.
In his sermon "When You Pray," Pastor Micah Stephens draws from the book of Matthew to deliver a heartfelt message about the simplicity and power of prayer, echoing Jesus' teaching that it should be a private, intimate exchange between an individual and God—not a public spectacle performed for human praise, lest that fleeting recognition become the only reward. He highlights Jesus' own reliance on prayer with the Father as a model for believers, urging us to depend on it even more in our own lives, while dispelling the notion that prayer is a complex ritual, magic spell, or wish to a distant deity; instead, it's a direct, face-to-face conversation with God. Pastor Stephens emphasizes the extraordinary privilege we now have through Christ—unhindered access to God—contrasting it with the Old Testament era when Jews depended on animal sacrifices and a high priest to petition God on their behalf, a process so precise that a misstep could cost the priest his life. Today, he reminds us, we often overlook the profound gift of speaking to God directly and receiving answers in Jesus' name.Verse References: Matthew 6 verses 5-15, Luke 11 verses 1-2, John 5 verse 19, John 8 verses 28-29, 1 Kings 26 verse 29, 1 Kings 18 verses 36-39, James 5 verse 16, John 17 verse 1, Matthew 26 verse 39, Matthew 10 verses 29-31, John 6 verse 11, 1 John 1 verse 9, Luke 23 verse 34, 1 Corinthians 10 verse 13, John 17 verse 15, John 11 verses 41-42, Hebrews 10 verses 19-22Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.
