    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Unjust Judge And The Persistent Widow

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 2,362 views

    Jesus often taught in parables. Among his many listeners, some folks understood their meaning and some folks didn't.

    And that is still true today, because we all tend to hear what we want to hear. The Lord used these parables to convey a truth to the listeners then, and to His listeners now, by taking a physical situation to teach a spiritual truth. Luke 18:1-8 is a parable about prayer. This is made clear ...read more

    The way I want to attack this conversation is by looking at 3 statements: 1) What Prayer Is 2) What Prayer Can Do 3) When the Church Prays (6 awesome things happen)

    What Happens When The Church Prays Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the ...read more

    Justice But Not For Us

    Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Judge teaches persistence, faith, and prayer, with a promise of God’s ultimate justice.

    A) Always Pray and Don’t Give Up (18:1) “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” (18:1) Verse 1 starts with “Then.” Notice that this teaching on prayer follows directly on Jesus’ teaching on the coming of the Son of Man. Indeed, verse ...read more

    What Prayer Isn't

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 11, 2023
     | 1,276 views

    Even though we pray, we may wonder at times: “Why do I pray? What does it accomplish?” Along the way, we may pick up some misperceptions. I want to talk about what prayer isn’t.

    The widow of the parable was pretty frustrated. In the Army, if soldiers feel they’ve been treated unfairly, they have several options: They can use their chain-of-command, see the Chaplain, contact Equal Opportunity, call the Inspector General’s office, or even write their Senator. We have the ...read more

    “And will not God give justice to His elect, who cry to Him day and night? Will He delay long over them?” (Luke 18:7 ESV)

    Introduction: The theme for today’s sermon is “the Lord our God is just”. Every person expects justice and in today’s world lawyers represent clients before judges and both are entrusted with the duty to ensure justice. In our courts the lawyers and judges still wear collars with what is known as ...read more

    In two parables with the same storyline, Jesus taught us to keep praying and never give up.

    Good morning. As we continue our series on the power of prayer, we are going to look at two of Jesus’ parables on prayer. They are both in Luke, and they are separated by just a few chapters. So please turn to Luke 11, but be ready to flip to Luke 18. There’s a supposedly true story of a country ...read more

    In our passage today, Jesus illustrates the power and provision of prayer. But we'll see that it isn't always as simple as, 'ask and you shall receive'.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part 19) Matt. 7:7-12 In our passage today, Jesus illustrates the power and provision of prayer.

    Each follower of the Christ has had the experience of praying earnestly, only to be disappointed to discover that God has not answered his/her prayer. When God doesn't answer our earnest request, then what?

    “[Jesus] told [His disciples] a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, “Give me justice against my ...read more
