In the sermon, Pastor Mark taught about “Growing in the Favor of God.” Jesus HAD favor with God and He GREW in favor with God. How? No one’s ever understood Jesus like His disciples and their conclusion was that Jesus’ unique life of favor and power came from experiencing God as His Father in his prayer life.
Mark showed us that- if Jesus needed a secret life with God- so do we. We will look for practical ways to establish and/or strengthen a faithful habit of prayer in our lives .
Read Matthew 6:5-6. Everyone is seeking approval from someone. Either God or man. In this passage, what activity gains God’s approval?
Anyone who’s been a Christian long enough to have dried off from their baptism knows prayer is important. Yet many have trouble with praying regularly? Why do you think that is?
