    Persistent prayer is commanded to us by Christ. If even the unjust judge will respond to it for bad reasons, how much more will the Father respond for good ones?

    Asking and asking again Luke 18:1-8 What is your prayer life like? How long can you pray without stopping? I am not talking about standard written or memorized prayers, I am talking about speaking with God concerning what is on your heart and working to remember everything that should be prayed ...read more

    In the hour we live in, we must be full of faith in order to overcome the obstacles we face.

    Full Of Faith Luke 18:8 … Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? There is no doubt that Jesus Christ is coming again but when He comes again will He find faith on the earth? This is a question that both challenges and convicts us. We need to be full of ...read more

    All need the touch of the healing Christ, the same Christ who is our companion in Word and Sacrament

    Monday of 33rd Week in Course Sacramentum Caritatis Two men went up to the Temple to pray. One was a collaborator and bag man and thief, and the other was a law-abiding, tithe-giving good citizen. The good guy spent all of his time bragging about his good works and telling God how much better he ...read more

    It isn’t about praying for something God is slow to give. It’s about being steadfast and holding on to faith.

    “Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart, 2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect man. 3 “There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me legal protection ...read more

    What does God’s word say about children and our responsibility to them. Who are the children anyway?

    Today’s lesson is about family. Specifically I want to talk about children. Let me start with a childhood story and see if I can connect with some of you kids here today. When I was growing up in North Alabama, I remember every year around this time Mom, Dad and all us kids would pile into the ...read more

    This passage is a call to pray with our bodies and our actions as well as with our hearts, minds, and mouths.

    There is an old Japanese saying that if a person makes one thousand folded paper cranes, then he/she will be made well. Lots of people believe that prayer works that way: If enough people pray enough prayers to God, then God is bound to grant their request. Prayer is a way of getting God to do what ...read more

    Pray And Believe! Series

     | 6,614 views

    Based on the Parable of the Persistent widow, this sermon encourages people to pray and pray and pray again. We preached these sermons in conjunction with the Pray 21 project that brings youth and adults together to pray for 21 days.

    BELIEVE AND PRAY! Believe and pray! This may sound backwards. Should we not pray believing that God will answer our prayers? Yes, but this simple little exercise of semantics puts the foundation of faith before the act of prayer. Many of us pray but few of us believe that our prayers will be ...read more

    Will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. -Luke 18:7,8 (NRSV)

    Relentless for Justice Read Luke 18:1-8 Luke 18:1-8 (NRSV) Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him ...read more

    Our prayers are affected by the way we understand God. Jesus uses this quirky parable to drive home that God is passionate about humanity and, in particular, your well-being.

    Sermon for CATM – November 1, 2009 – “Pray Like You Mean It!” A young man went into a drugstore to buy 3 boxes of chocolate: small, medium, and large. When the pharmacist asked him about the three boxes, he said, “Well, I’m going over to a new girlfriend’s house for supper. Then we’re going out. ...read more

    The parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector as it high lights our position before God.

    Introduction What do you think this passage is about? Prayer? Well, yes Jesus uses the way people pray in his parable, so there are some important lessons about prayer. Arrogance? Pride? Humility? There is certainly a lot in the parable about arrogance or pride and humility. Final judgement? The ...read more

    When Humans Don’t Make Sense To God

    "When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" We talk about our disappointment with God, but is God ever puzzled by our lack of faith?

    The parable of the widow and the unjust judge relates to our disappointment with God. Like the mistreated widow, we often wonder why God allows so much pain and injustice to go on. We pray and pray and yet no answer comes. The righteous perish and the wicked flourish. Sometimes we even wonder, ...read more

    In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus describes two very different men, who took two very different approaches to connecting with God, which resulted in two very different outcomes.

    Today we begin a new series on rejecting religion for something real. The “something real” is the way of Christ (Christianity), which is not a religion, but a relationship with the living God. Too many non-believers wrongly think of Christianity as “just another religion,” and, sadly, many of ...read more
