Lesson #2 in this prayer set is called Jesus Honors Righteous Prayer. In contrast, he calls out and condemns unrighteous prayer. The good news is Jesus wants to make a way for us to be with the Father. He not only gave us a model of how to pray -- as the adopted sons and daughters that we are -- but he also takes to task things like “showy” or “religious” activities that are antithetical to the true relationship and closeness we can have with our Father in Heaven.

About John
John Fonville is Pastor of Paramount Church in Jacksonville, Florida. Paramount Church is part of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).
The Him We Proclaim Podcast features the preaching and teaching ministry of Dr. John Fonville at Paramount Church. This resource aims to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people. The gospel cannot be assumed. An assumed gospel will, in time, become a denied gospel. Thus, each generation must rediscover the paramount truths of the gospel and apply the gospel's implications to their own day and age. Him we proclaim (Col. 1:28)!
