This Week's Worship

Theme:

God tells us that he hears us when we pray earnestly and ask him for what we need. After all, we are his children. But do we receive everything we ask for? Does God really answer our heartfelt prayers and fulfill our hopes? Often, instead of getting the answer we want, we experience the opposite. So how should we understand Jesus’ words in Matthew 7?

Scripture:

Matthew 7:7-12

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! 12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
