| 0:00.0 | The As you read through the Gospels, it's clear that Jesus placed a high priority on prayer. |
| 0:30.0 | But why? Why did he set aside time to pray and why does he urge his followers to do the same thing? |
| 0:37.5 | Today on truth for life, Alistairbegg helps us understand how an all-knowing all-powerful God uses our prayers. |
| 0:47.0 | Father, we pray that as we study the Bible together now, that you will help us, that you will come |
| 1:00.9 | by the Holy Spirit and do for us what we are unable to do for ourselves. |
| 1:06.8 | We pray that we may be on the voice of a mere man, hear your voice, and in hearing it that we might obey. We look to you Lord in |
| 1:20.0 | humble dependence and we pray in Jesus name. Amen. I invite you to turn again to |
| 1:27.5 | Luke chapter 22 beginning with verse 39 and as you turn there I want to read just three familiar |
| 1:35.8 | verses from Hebrew chapter 12. The writer says therefore since we are |
| 1:40.4 | surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders |
| 1:47.4 | and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, |
| 1:57.3 | the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross scorning its shame and sat down at the |
| 2:06.5 | right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men so that you will not grow weary |
| 2:16.9 | and lose heart. |
| 2:19.4 | Now for those of you who have been following along in our studies in Luke's gospel, you may feel and with some legitimacy that we have got stuck here in this |
| 2:28.5 | little section that begins at verse 39 because it seems that we've been coming back to it again and again I feel a little |
| 2:35.3 | bit as though I've been watching a video myself and somebody hit the freeze frame button on the thing |
| 2:41.4 | and every time I look back it's stuck on the same position. But in actual |
| 2:47.4 | fact I'm quite comfortable with that because it appears to me that we've done |
| 2:50.9 | this purposefully that we've done this purposefully, that we've done it properly. And the reason is that |
| 2:56.0 | our gaze is turned towards Christ, which is always important and which is frankly phenomenally helpful to us. |
| 3:05.0 | If we do not believe, we need to look at the Lord Jesus and examine who he is and what he's said and what he's done. |
