Basis of Prayer: "Our Father" – Timothy Keller [Sermon]

Summary

The sermon centers on the Christian approach to prayer, drawing from Jesus's teaching in Matthew 6:6-15 about private, sincere petition versus "babbling" like pagans. It emphasizes that God, our Father, knows our needs before we ask and forgives us as we forgive others. The practical takeaway is that because Jesus is the risen Way to God, Christian prayer is a uniquely direct and transformative relationship, not just a philosophical or religious practice.
