Lesson 7: Practical Prayer (Matthew 6 & 18, Luke 11, Ephesians 3)
Are you ready to learn more about communicating with God? Last week we studied several Bible passages about prayer, including Jesus’ warning in Matthew 6 about praying in public for the purpose of impressing others. He also warned about using “empty phrases” and many words in prayer on the mistaken assumption that “more is more” when it comes to prayer. Jesus also told us that God knows what we need before we ask. Our Lord moves next in Matthew 6 to discussing the Lord’s Prayer. Come with me on a deep dive into Jesus’ model for prayer!

Emotional Intelligence
Can the Bible help you get promoted at work? Can the Bible increase your pay? Can the Bible help you keep your job? Improve your marriage? The answer is “Yes!” The Bible teaches principles of “emotional intelligence” that can actually help you to be smarter and get along better. Bruce Cameron, the writer of these Bible studies and a law professor, has published a paper written for lawyers which presents 17 Bible-based rules of emotional intelligence which God gave us to improve our lives. Best of all, Professor Cameron’s paper is free and you do not have to be a lawyer to understand it. To get your free copy, first click on this link.
