Bill Teubl begins by focusing on Psalm 117, a short psalm centered on praise and worship, and connects it to broader teachings on prayer. He emphasizes the importance of entering God’s presence with a heart of worship, quieting oneself to behold His glory, and recognizing His steadfast love and faithfulness. The sermon transitions into practical exhortations for prayer, including understanding its spectrum, cultivating quick prayers, and establishing a dedicated time and place for communion with God.
