Jeremy Utley - God-centered Praying
Speaker: Jeremy Utley Title: God-centered Praying Date: 07-12-2015 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Summary
The central message is the necessity of shifting from self-centered praying to God-centered praying. The speaker uses examples from the Bible, such as Hezekiah and Moses, to illustrate that true prayer focuses on the exaltation and reputation of God's name, rather than merely personal deliverance or comfort. The speaker cautions that focusing only on personal needs can lead to spiritual blindness, as seen when Hezekiah's self-centered prayer led to subsequent national decline.
