36 | The Heart of Prayer (Summer Series)

What if prayer wasn’t about the words you say—but the heart behind them?

In this week’s episode of Sunday Renewal, we continue our Summer Series with a timely message called “The Heart of Prayer.”

Drawing from Matthew 6 and Luke 11, Ernest walks us through Jesus’ teaching on prayer—not as a performance, but as a posture.

In a world where spiritual habits can easily become hollow rituals, this message is a powerful reminder that God is not impressed by long words or loud displays. He’s after your heart.

Whether you’ve struggled with what to say, how to say it, or if your prayers are even being heard—this episode will encourage you to draw near to God with honesty, humility, and purpose.

Because real prayer doesn’t begin in your mouth—it begins in your heart.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why Jesus warned against performative and repetitive prayers
✅ What it really means to pray “in secret” and seek God’s reward
✅ The danger of using prayer to impress people rather than connect with God
✅ How to shift your focus from saying the right words to having the right heart
✅ Why prayer is less about informing God and more about trusting Him
