Podcasts about teach us to pray

What does it mean to have our sins forgiven? Although we hear this regularly, it is difficult for us to understand and internalize what this means. This message is from Pastor Sarah. The Gospel reading is from Matthew Chapter 18, Verses 15-22. 

Wednesday August 13th Teach Us To Pray

August 6th 2025 Teach Us To Pray

How does understanding ancient, Jewish prayer transform the way we approach our own prayer life? In this thought-provoking discussion, the Voxology Podcast unpacks the profound communal and theological practices of Jewish prayer that shaped the teachings of Jesus and continue to challenge modern, individualistic approaches to Christianity. Join the hosts as they explore how prayer reflects our understanding of God, our faith, and the world around us, offering a deeper lens into themes of cruciformity, justice, and the role of the church in society. By examining the historical context of Jewish prayer practices, such as the Shema and the Amidah, the conversation dives into the rhythms of blessing, repentance, and trust that were central to the lives of early believers. Learn how these practices offer fresh insight into the Lord's Prayer and reshape how we navigate faith and cultural challenges today. Whether it's reimagining what it means to bless God or understanding prayer as a communal act of justice and restoration, this episode invites listeners into a richer theology of prayer that connects deeply with the teachings of Jesus. How does prayer influence your faith perspective? We encourage and would love discussion as we pursue these topics together. Feel free to email your thoughts, engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram, and join us in exploring the intersection of faith, justice, and cultural engagement.

Homily for the 17th Sunday of the Year (C)

We continue now to examine how to pray like Jesus. In this lesson we consider praying for our enemies as foundational to Christlike prayer. We also consider Christ's model of how we are to pray for one another as found in John 17.

The Oasis Church exists to glorify God through exegetical preaching, deep, relational community, and outreach to the world. Learn more about The Oasis Church at:www.theoasischurch.net

In order to determine if prayer is a priority, ask yourself: How often do I pray? How confident are you that the Lord will answer your requests? What does God's Word say about His faithfulness in answering prayer? What do you think would happen if, instead of moaning and complaining, you approached God with a thankful heart?

DOWNLOAD KEYNOTE SLIDES Summary of Message by Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. “Developing Mountain Moving Faith” Part Three from the series, “Lord, Teach Us to Pray” Scripture Foundation: Matthew 17:14–21 The message centers on the account of a father who brings his tormented son to Jesus after the disciples failed to heal him. Jesus rebukes the demon, heals the boy, and rebukes His disciples for their unbelief—despite their intentions and prior efforts. He then teaches that “this kind” (of challenge and deliverance) only comes through prayer and fasting. Main Theme: Faith Must Be Developed to Move Mountains Dr. Hudson emphasizes that faith is not automatic or instant; it must be cultivated, prepared, and developed over time, just like any skilled profession. This sermon explores how true faith—faith that produces results and moves mountains—develops through process, prayer, fasting, discipline, and refining trials. Key Points and Lessons 1. Faith Needs Development Faith is not a switch to flip but a process to grow. The disciples believed they could help the boy but lacked the spiritual development to meet the challenge. Just as craftsmen hone their skills over time, believers must grow in faith through experience and learning. “You don't start moving mountains. You start moving molehills.” 2. Understanding Unbelief Unbelief is not the absence of belief, but the lack of preparedness to meet a spiritual demand. Like a trained athlete who stops training and fails despite past success, the disciples failed because they were not ready. Unbelief = underdeveloped or unfocused faith. 3. Faith as a Mustard Seed Jesus didn't say “faith the size of” a mustard seed, but “faith as a mustard seed”—meaning faith that grows. Mustard seed faith starts small but is planted, nurtured, and grows into something powerful. Growth can happen quickly when we are willing to lean into God and walk away from distractions. 4. Two Types of Faith Faith (noun): Beliefs, doctrine, lifestyle (Jude 3). Faith (verb): Belief in action—obedient steps based on God's Word (Matthew 17:20). “You cannot have active faith without sound doctrine. Faith comes by hearing the Word.” 5. The Power of Prayer and Fasting Prayer and fasting are not about moving God—they move you. They shift your attention away from self-centered routines and help you focus on God. Fasting is not merely about abstaining from food; it's about setting aside personal pleasure and self-satisfaction to align with God's will. “You can't focus on yourself and focus on God at the same time.” 6. Hindrance to Faith: Offense and Bitterness Harboring offense or bitterness blocks faith development. Many offenses are not even sins—just preferences or misunderstandings. Scripture (Proverbs 19:11, Matthew 18:15) instructs believers to let go of offense or address it directly if it's a true sin. “Don't let anyone live rent-free in your mind and hinder your faith.” 7. Faith Must Have Corresponding Action (James 2:14–20) Faith without works is dead. Words alone are not enough. True faith produces change—in your heart, life, and lifestyle. Faith is not a transaction, but a lifestyle aligned with the will of God. “Faith is a habit—a consistent way of living and trusting God.” 8. Faith Will Be Tested by Fire (1 Peter 1:6–7) Trials are part of faith development. God uses refining fire to purify and strengthen our faith. Gold becomes more valuable after it is tested by fire—and so does genuine faith. “You won't burn up. You'll come out better, stronger, purer.” Key Quotes and Reflections “Faith is developed, not downloaded.” “Prayer and fasting don't move God—they move you.” “Unbelief is not disbelief; it's unpreparedness.” “Mountain-moving faith grows through molehill-moving obedience.” “Let go of offense—it's not worth stunting your faith.” Final Prayer and Exhortation Dr. Hudson concludes by thanking God for the process of developing faith. He encourages believers to embrace: The disciplines of prayer and fasting The necessity of letting go of offense The value of genuine, tested faith “Lord, thank You that our faith grows like a mustard seed—from a small beginning to something great and fruitful.” Summary Statement Developing mountain-moving faith is a journey of spiritual growth, intentional focus, disciplined habits, and grace under fire. Faith doesn't just appear; it is formed in the presence of God, shaped by the Word, tested by trials, and manifested through love, obedience, and action.

Teaching from July 27, 2025 by Ben Pitzen

Our daily bread. Praying this petition shapes us to notice that some people have bread enough for months while others struggle to get through the day. When we ask for daily bread, we ask not only for ourselves, but also for others. And we ask for more than just bread, but for all that people need to thrive. Ultimately, we are asking to trust God in little and big things, every day. This message is from Pastor Sarah. The Old Testament reading comes from Exodus, Chapter 16, Verses 11 to 18. The Gospel is from Luke, Chapter 6 verses 26 to 35.

In this tender homily, Fr. Michael reflects on the death of a beloved parishioner and invites us to rediscover the realism and intimacy of prayer. Drawing from the tradition of wakes, the symbolism of the Easter candle, and the gospel's call to “knock and it will be opened,” he guides us to pray as Jesus taught: not with an agenda, but with open hearts ready to rest in the Father. A moving meditation on death, purgatory, and the transforming power of heartfelt prayer.

Katy Warren preaches on prayer. Many of us desire to have a rich prayer life but are wondering what to pray, how to pray, wondering if we're doing it right or if anyone is listening to the words we're saying. If your prayers feel unanswered or the thought of even figuring out what to pray for feels daunting, it doesn't mean you're not a faithful person. We don't just speak the words, we live them.  Preaching text: Luke 11:1-10

July 27, 2024 / Sunday Sermon: Lord, Teach Us to Pray / Fr. Ryan Jordan by Trinity Episcopal Church Vero Beach

The disciples come to Jesus asking Him to teach them how to pray. We, as disciples, also ask this question. We all know the importance of prayer but how do we actually pray? Here at St. John's we will be holding a 6-week School of Prayer to explore this very question. Find more details here: https://stjohns-excelsior.org/school-of-prayer/

Rector Amy Winkle preaches from Luke 11 on our posture in prayer toward God and his posture toward us.

In this podcast, we explore God's will. How do we know what God's will really is?  Is every thing that happens actually God's will? Pastor Tania takes on this complex topic and provides insight. Our Gospel reading today is from the book of John Chapter 6Verses 35 to 40.  

The Rev. Kenneth H. Brannon - “Teach Us To Pray”

At first glance, it's surprising that the disciples—who walked with Jesus and ministered in his name—would ask, “Lord, teach us to pray.” But prayer is something we can become overly familiar with, even jaded toward, despite how central it is to life with God. In response, Jesus offers what we now call the Lord's Prayer—a simple, powerful pattern that still teaches us to pray today.

Jesus' response to the disciples' simple yet profound request: “Lord, teach us to pray.” Through the Lord's Prayer, we discover more than a set of words—we find a communal rhythm for intentional living.

Jesus Teaches the Lord's Prayer

Friends, we have the great privilege this week of reading, in our Gospel, Luke's account of the Lord's Prayer. This is a very sacred moment: Jesus himself—not just a spiritual guru or someone we admire, but the very Son of God—teaches us how to pray. And we become so familiar with the Our Father that we forget its spiritual power.
