Matthew 18:15-20 Last week, in our introduction to prayer, we considered the personal, confessional nature of prayer. Prayer is fundamental and essential in the life of the Christian! It is precisely because many Christians have a weak or absent prayer life, that they are weak or absent as Christians. There is another side of the coin of prayer, however, which we must consider this morning. While there is an intensely personal aspect to prayer, there is also a necessary corporate aspect to prayer.
