1 Corinthians 14:40 KJV

[40]Let all things be done decently and in order.

Matthew 6:33 KJV

[33]But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

John 9:31 KJV

[31]Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Mark 11:24 KJV

[24]Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

James 5:16 KJV

[16]Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Matthew 5:23-26 ESV

[23]So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

[24] leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

[25] Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison.

[26] Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.

John 10:1-10 KJV

[1]Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

[2] But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

[3] To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

[4] And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

[5] And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

[6] This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

[7] Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

[8] All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

[9] I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

[10] The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Breakout Questions:

Q1: According to John 9:31, what did Jesus say about our prayers being heard?

Q2: Suppose a person who is living in sin, and has expressed no intention to change, asks you to pray for them. Based on the word of God, what should we as true worshipers of Jesus focus our prayers on?

Q3: What problems do we create for people when we do not call people to submit to God’s order concerning entering at The Door (Jesus)?

Benediction: Jude 1:24-25
