A Heart after God Bible Teaching Ministry with Pastor Brad Abley

This third and last installment is on a topic of major importance in Scripture.

Few truths are more life-changing than what the future holds for the believer in Jesus -- yet many are unaware of what the Bible teaches on this matter.

As such, we will seek to carefully examine what it has for us -- and expect our lives to be transformed.

The Bible is a book oft present and eternal, explaining carefully what awaits the believer in Jesus. The promises are astounding, and the biblical writers staked their lives on those promises. What are they? What do they mean? How will they impact you?

The core of the Christian faith is redemption -- seen especially in God's plan for the resurrection and restoration of all things, through faith in Jesus. This is what brings present hope and perspective. Do you know what the Bible teaches on this subject?

No believer in Jesus can take one penny or one material item to Heaven. What will endure, however, is the fruit we develop for Jesus (John 15:1-8).

And so much of the fruitfulness we produce comes through prayer -- prayer to know God, prayer for ourselves, and prayer for others. These prayers -- offered in faith -- will have eternal results. ETERNAL results. I hope this reality stirs you to grow in prayer.

And certainly, the teaching of Jesus here in Mt. 6:5-14 will accomplish so much of this!

I just finished an in-depth study of David's remarkable prayer in Ps. 86 -- certainly one of the greatest prayers and insights into the nature of God anywhere in Scripture (and I will be doing a message series on this soon).

Even so, it cannot improve upon what Jesus teaches in Mt. 6:5-14, the subject of this message.

I continue to marvel at the brilliance of the Lord's Pattern of Prayer 44 years after first learning of it, in Mt. 6:5-14. No teaching on prayer can come close to it!

If you were to ask any of the men and women we read about in the Bible about prayer, they would all rate it as high as possible and urge everyone to embrace it.

The Lord Jesus knows how vital prayer is, but He also knows its challenges. In His teaching on prayer -- The Lord's Pattern of Prayer (Mt. 6:5-14) -- He reveals the great secrets to prayer and also invites you to experience its eternal value.

An intriguing, heartfelt message on the great joy -- and vast importance -- of prayer. This comes from what I like to call The Lord's Pattern of Prayer, from Mt. 6:5-14. This is the life-giving, brilliant, matchless teaching of Jesus on prayer.

Ultimately, however, that doesn't matter; what matters is that it changes you and me and glorifies God. This new series will air on the local FM station in Siaya, Kenya on my weekly broadcast there.

Accordingly, you'll hear me use some words from the local language -- Luo.For example, Nyasaye oguedi is God bless you; Nyasaye Wuonwa is God our Father; Erokamano ahinya is thank you very much. Yesu Opaki is Praise Jesus. Osiepena is friends. Koro is "so."

I have a feeling that this new series might be the most important I've ever taught. Ultimately, however, that doesn't matter; what matters is that it changes you and me and glorifies God.
