Praying with passion and purpose | Disciples Fast, Pray, and Trust | Nathan Bentley

In this sermon by Pastor Nathan, the key focus is on the importance of prayer accompanied by fasting, noting that fasting without heartfelt prayer is meaningless. Pastor Nathan underscores the need for prayers rooted in the desire to glorify God's kingdom rather than selfish gains. He reflects on the essence of prayer as fellowship and recognizing God's glory and holiness. The sermon explores how true Christian prayer aligns with God's will and resists becoming a mere routine. Reviving this form of genuine prayer could spark widespread spiritual renewal. He draws on biblical examples, like the humility and repentance of the King of Nineveh, to illustrate the transformative power of sincere, kingdom-focused prayer.
