Fresh Start Christian Church
Service Outline – February 21, 2021
Current Teaching Series: “Prayer is Essential”
Main Scripture: Matthew 6:5-7
“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
Topic: Introduction to Prayer

- “the divinely authorized means to access the kingdom of Heaven and to get the kingdom to intervene in the affairs of our earthly life”.
Prayer is Essential
- Matthew 6:5-7 Prayer is not optional
- Matthew 26:41 We are to watch and pray
- Luke 18:1 Persistent prayer triumphs over discouragement
- Ephesians 6:11-18 Consistent prayer in spiritual warfare

Prayer is Where We are Supposed to Be

We can be bold before the throne because it is God’s desire for us to be in relationship with Him. We come acknowledging that we need God.
