Join us in worship to God.

You are welcome to join us on Oak Hill Road in Placerville 10:30 Sunday Morning, 4:00 Sunday Afternoon, 7:30 Wednesday Evenings

02/28/2021

Hello Friends and Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Good Morning. This morning at Oak Hill in Placerville at 10:30 am. we will be studying "Expressions of Love". We especially want to look at Jesus' teaching in Matt. 22:37-40. "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. How do all the Law and the Prophets "hang" on the commandments to love God and love our neighbor? Also, Romans 13:9, how are the commandments "...summed up in this saying, namely, you shall love your neighbor as yourself." Does God have a 'language of love' through which He speaks to us as humans in any and every language? Does God expect to 'hear' back from us in a particular 'love language'? We would love to have you join us in worship. God's Blessing to you.

PRAY LIKE…
“…like prayer makes a difference.”

Pray like Jesus – Part I

Of the many great things Jesus did; like the miracles, walking on water, feeding thousands, raising the dead; like amazing teaching; like the resurrection; one of the lesser considered things that Jesus did, perhaps less impressive, yet surely not less significant, was that Jesus prayed.

A.

1. At His baptism.

Luke 3:21

“…it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized: and while He __________________,

the heaven was opened.”

2. Choosing the Apostles

Choosing twelve to teach and to prepare them to carry the gospel to the world would be a difficult decision to make. Luke 6:13-16

How did Jesus prepare Himself to make this important decision?

Luke 6:12 “…He went out to the mountain to _____________________,”

How long did He pray? _______ __________________________

3. At the Transfiguration

Luke 9:28, “…He took Peter, John, and James up on the mountain to ______________.”

9:29, “As He ______________, the appearance of His face was altered,…”

4. In the Garden. Luke 22:39-42.

Leaving the upper room of the Passover, and the Lord’s Supper, Jesus led the disciples to the Garden on the Mount of Olives.

See verses 40, 41 – Why did Jesus lead the disciples to this quiet place?

Luke 22:42 – What two or three things stand out in Jesus’ simple prayer?

Consider Matthew 26:39-44

How many times did Jesus pray this prayer?

Why was it not “vain repetition”?

5. On the Cross Jesus prayed, Luke 23:34

…”Father ___________________ ____________.

Why? “ _______________ _____________ _______ __________

_____________________ __________________ _________ ______________ .

Sins committed in ignorance still need forgiveness.
B. The Model Prayer

Matthew 6:9-15; Luke 11:1-4

Jesus gave his model prayer because, “His disciples said to Him, Lord, ___________

___________ _________ _____________,” Luke 11:1

In Matthew 6:5, Jesus taught His disciples not to be like the hypocrites.

…”they have their reward.”

What would the reward of the hypocrites be?

In Matthew 6:6, Jesus taught us to pray, Where? __________________________

And God …”will reward you ____________________.”

In Matthew 6:7, Jesus spoke against “vain repetitions”

What is a “vain repetition”?

Matthew 6:8, If God already knows what we need why ask?

Matthew 6:9, “In this manner” means?

With these exact words

Following this example

With good manners
Matthew 6:9-15

Who do we pray to?

What does “Hallowed” mean?

Has God’s kingdom come?

See Colossians 1:13, and Revelations 1:9

Where will God’s “will be done on earth as it is in heaven”?

Vs. 11-13 list three things we ought to pray for:

_____________________________________________

_____________________________________________

_____________________________________________

Does Ephesians 4:32 and Colossians 3:13 teach that God and Jesus are our examples to

follow concerning forgiveness?

If we do not follow their example in forgiveness what will be the result?

See Matthew 6:15

God bless us all. I hope you look forward to Part II when we will study Jesus’ prayer in

John 17.

God Bless,

PRAY LIKE…
“…like prayer makes a difference.”

Pray like Nehemiah

The biblical account of Nehemiah really begins with the Babylonian captivity of Israel.

God commanded and expected obedience.

Exodus 19:5 “Now therefore, if you will indeed __________________ _________

________________ and keep my covenant…”

In Deuteronomy 28:2 God promised blessings to come ‘if’ or “because you

_______________ _________ _______________ of the Lord your God.”

But if they did not obey Deuteronomy 28:15

…”that all these ____________________ will come upon you….”

The prophet Jeremiah, one of the prophets of the exile reminded the Israelites of God’s words, Jeremiah 11:3-5

Jeremiah 11:8, “Yet they _________________ _______________ __________________

Or incline their ear, but everyone followed the dictates of his _________________

_____________________ ….”

Thus God allowed Israel to be conquered first by Egypt, then when Babylon defeated Egypt at
the battle of Carchemish (605 or 606 B.C.). Babylon invaded Israel and carried away the first
captives, including Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
When Babylon was defeated by the Medes and Persians, King Cyrus of Persia, Ezra 1:1, made a
proclamation to let the Israelites return back to Israel.

While Sheshbazzar was the prince of Judah, Ezra 1:8, Zerubbabel assumes the leadership over
the returning Israelites.

Upon returning to Jerusalem they began to restore true worship to God, Ezra 3:2

They “…built the alter of God of Israel…
…as it is ___________________ in the Law of Moses….”

Ezra 3:4 “They also kept the feast of Tabernacles, ____________ ____________
_____________ _______________,…:

In Ezra 7:8 in about 458 B.C. Ezra, the priest, came to Jerusalem. Ezra led a second group of

Israelites home from Babylon. He dedicated himself to the teaching of God’s word to the

people. See Nehemiah 8:1-8

About 13 years after Ezra’s return a report came from Jerusalem back to the Jews remaining in

Babylon. Nehemiah 1:3 The walls of the city of Jerusalem and its gates were broken down and

the gates were burned, leaving the Jews in Jerusalem in a difficult position to defend themselves.

In Nehemiah 1:4 Nehemiah said,

“I was _______________ and _________________ before the God of heaven.”

1. Who did Nehemiah pray to?

Nehemiah 1:5 _______________ _________________ ____ ____________________.

2. Who does God keep covenant and mercy with, Nehemiah 1:5

_________________ __________________ _______________ _______________

And _______________ _______________ ___________________ .

3. What was Nehemiah’s first request? Nehemiah 1:6

4. How often did Nehemiah pray?

5. Who did Nehemiah pray for?

6. What did Nehemiah confess?

How was he different than the man in Luke 18:11?

How was Nehemiah similar to the man in Luke 18:13?

Nehemiah knew, Nehemiah 1:8 that if God’s people were unfaithful, God would scatter

them as He had scattered them to Babylon.
7. What else did Nehemiah know? Nehemiah 1:9

8. What was Nehemiah reminding God of in Nehemiah 1:10?

9. Finally, Nehemiah 1:11

Nehemiah acknowledged himself to be one of God’s __________________

He asked that God would _______________ him and grant him _________________

In Nehemiah 2 the prayer begins to be answered. King Artaxerxes recognizes his unhappiness

and asks in Nehemiah 2:4

“What do you request?”

What did Nehemiah immediately do?

If you could imagine the words of Nehemiah’s prayer what would they be?

Consider the setting

Note: When you pray – expect that God may use you in His answer.

When Nehemiah arrived in Jerusalem, he surveyed the wall. Nehemiah 2:11-16. In spite of

opposition they set about to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem, Nehemiah 4:6 “the people had a

mind to work.”

Nehemiah 4:9 “Nevertheless we made our ____________ ______ ______________...”

And ________________ a watch ….”

They prayed and did their part.

They planned Nehemiah 4:10-23

In spite of the opposition Nehemiah 6:15

How long did it take to build the wall?

While this was a reflection upon the people’s willingness to work.

Still when the enemies saw the completion of the wall Nehemiah 6:16

“…they perceived that this work was done by our _____________.”

There was a problem, Nehemiah prayed, but not only prayed, both he and the people worked.

Their success was so special that all knew that God had been involved in their success.

Prayer makes a difference.

God Bless you,
Roger Boone
