As Jesus Continues with the Sermon on the Mount, He teaches His disciples about three important disciplines of the Christian life: giving, prayer, and fasting. If you are going to have the kind of relationship Jesus had with the Father when He was on earth, then you must practice these disciplines. These disciplines touch on the very things society says are so important money and possessions, time and the busyness of life, and consumption in all of its aspects. But Jesus spends a lot of time on prayer, and in today's sermon how to pray is the focus.
