Ephesians 1:15-23 - Blessed to Pray

Summary:
Have you ever struggled with prayer and been unsure of where to start? In this sermon, Pastor Chris Jessee uses Paul's prayer in Ephesians 1:15-23 to guide us on how to pray effectively. He emphasizes that prayer is simply talking to God, a privilege we often overlook. By looking at Paul's example, we learn to pray with thanksgiving, seeking a deeper knowledge of God, His riches, and His power.

Key Takeaways:

• Pray with Thanksgiving: Begin your prayers by thanking God for specific blessings and the evidence of His grace in your life and the church.
• Pray to Know God Better: Ask God for wisdom and revelation through the Holy Spirit to deepen your understanding of Him and His Word.
• Pray to Know God's Riches: Recognize that knowing about God differs from knowing Him personally. Seek a personal relationship with Him.
• Pray to Know God's Power: Understand the immense power of God at work in your life, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.
