Back to Basics: Prayer & Meditation(Time with God)

This sermon explores the foundational truth of prayer as part of the "Back to Basics" series, emphasizing that prayer is not merely a religious formality but the most powerful weapon believers possess. The message reveals how Jesus' prayer life was uniquely intimate because He was without sin, and through His sacrifice, believers now have direct access to God the Father. The sermon challenges the congregation to move beyond treating prayer as a cop-out or mere words, instead recognizing it as genuine conversation with God that requires both speaking and listening. True prayer involves standing firm in faith while allowing God to fight our battles, understanding that we are not in control—God is. The message culminates in the call to "pray without ceasing," maintaining an open line of communication with God throughout each day, and recognizing that prayer's power comes not from getting what we want, but from getting more of God Himself.
