Teach Us to Pray: Sermon 9

What does it truly mean to pray from heaven's perspective? In this powerful message, Dr. Dale Yerton unveils the transformative story of Moses' intercession for Israel after their grave sin of creating and worshiping the golden calf. Through Moses' bold confrontation with God, we witness a remarkable example of heavenly-minded prayer that prioritizes God's reputation and promises over personal concerns.

Dr. Dale masterfully illustrates how Moses positioned himself between God and the people, not from a place of self-righteousness, but from deep love and sacrificial commitment – even offering to be blotted out of God's book for their sake. His unique insight reveals that effective intercession isn't about changing God's mind through our wisdom, but about aligning with God's heart and being willing to pay the price for reconciliation. With compelling urgency, Dr. Dale challenges today's believers to become modern-day intercessors who, like Moses, will view the world's problems through heaven's lens and stand in the gap for others, reminding us that God is actively searching for friends who will pray with this eternal perspective.
