August Gate Church

Praying to the Lord regularly should cause our hearts to rejoice in Him because he's in control.

We pray with confidence because we have a competent and sympathetic Savior.

When we pray for all people, we grow in humility.

We can pray expecting God to move because he already has in the person and work Jesus.

If we want God to give us whatever we ask for, we need to pray like Jesus.

Paul teaches us to pray for the Word to Win in here and out there, for God to deliver us from evil and guard us in the battle, to give us power to obey and to fuel that obedience with his steadfast love.

Because Christ has taken our curse and blessed us, we can have confidence that God will answer our prayers.

We have the right to pray impossible prayers because we worship a God who has done the impossible.

When God answers prayer, we worship, we remember, and we ask for more.

Following, a new "Romans Road", we can learn to pray in a gospel-centered way.

Prayer should pull us together, not push us apart.

Worry steals our joy in Jesus, so if we want to fight for joy we have to fight for peace.

The first step in learning to pray, is understanding Who it is we are praying to.

Prayer is foundationally the worship of God.

Prayer should be a continual persistent conversation with a God who never tires of hearing from us.

As we look at Christ's example in prayer, we see his passion for truth, beauty, community, mission, progress, and love.

Apart from Jesus, we can do nothing, so prayer is a vital part of fruitfulness. Listen in to hear the why and how of abiding in Christ from John 15.

When we follow Jesus, new challenges require us to recommit to old wisdom.

Jesus shows His love by meeting our deepest need himself.

God has more for us. And seeing that "more" accomplished" is going to come through prayer. So August Gate is coming to Jesus to ask, "Lord, teach us to pray."
