Psalm 68:19–23 ESV Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah Our God is a God of salvation, and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death. But God will strike the heads of his enemies, the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways. The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea, that you may strike your feet in their blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe.”PrayerTeen TalkHymn - AMAZING LOVE (MP 476)NoticesPrayer Meeting - 7:30pmFriday 7pm - OnlineSunday Morning 11am & 6pmTithes & Offerings - £Main PrayerBirthdaysPrayer ItemsHymn - MY WORTH IS NOT IN WHAT I OWN (1261)Sermon SearchReadingMatthew 6:5–15 ESV “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.SermonPrayerSincerity of HeartDo not use Empty PhrasesGod is aware of your needsAddressing God in prayerOur Father in Heaven1st Petition: Hallowed by Your NameOur Humilityhonour, glorify & exhalt Him2nd Petition: Your Kingdom ComeGospel3rd Petition: Your will be done, on earth as it is in heavenObedience4th Petition: Give us this day our daily breadPetitions 4, 5 & 6 are closely connectedForgive us our debtsMatthew 6:12 ESV and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.Debts: Judaism had come to use it as a common term for sinDeuteronomy 15:2 ESV And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor.
