This week, Pastor Joe's message is the third installment in a series entitled "Prayer 101".

Recap of Matthew 6:9-11
The “how-to” of prayer:
1. We come to God in prayer on the basis of our relationship with Him, He is our Father.
2. Though He is our Father, He is “in heaven,” i.e. transcendent and sovereign, with unlimited resources.
3. We begin with requests related to God’s interests: desire that He be honored, His kingdom be established and His will prevail.
4. We then bring requests related to our needs: the first request being for our personal, temporal needs.
