The Big Story | Sermon On The Mount - Your Kingdom Come: What Prayer Is Actually For

Scripture: Matthew 6:5–15 Runtime: ~8 minutes

Jesus doesn't begin his teaching on prayer with technique — he begins with motive. Before he shows us how to pray, he addresses why prayer so often goes sideways.

Some people pray to be seen. Others pray to manipulate, believing the right formula might finally get God's attention. Jesus says: that's not how it works with your Father. He already knows what you need. And then he gives his disciples a prayer so simple it surprises you.

At the center of that prayer sits the heartbeat of the entire Sermon on the Mount: Your kingdom come.
