  • Summary

  • Jesus doesn’t just point the way to God—rather, he is the way to God because he’s risen. And that means that for Christians, prayer is a unique, radically different process than it is for other religions and philosophies.

    Prayer is a rather universal thing, and there are many ways to pray. But Jesus says there are really two different bases on which you can approach God. He’s not talking about whether to ask; he’s talking about how to ask, about why you think you’re being heard. And he says there are two utterly different bases on which you can go to God.

    Looking at Matthew 6, let’s try to 1) understand the true basis of prayer, and 2) employ the true basis.

    This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 23, 1995. Series: The Lord’s Prayer 1995. Scripture: Matthew 6:6-15.

The Scripture tying in to the message.

Dr. Keller explained his message in such a well presented manner. He utilized many resources and takes the information he imparts seriously.
