    Jesus is stripping the Jews naked of their self-righteousness and hypocrisy related to their worship. Jesus uses a Greek word that describes them as a stage actor when it comes to their worship, and he does the same for the way they pray

    Why would Jesus pray to have the "cup" taken away, if He knew that wasn’t going to happen? Was His prayer simply an excercise in futility, or was there something more to it? I learned some surprising truths as I prepared this sermon.

    OPEN: A minister noticed a young boy kneeling off to the side of the room after youth group and praying very fervently. As the preacher came within earshot of the boy, he was surprised to hear the boy saying: "Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo." After the boy finished his praying the preacher approached him ...read more

    Persistent Prayers

    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 in the first verse of this parable, look at Luke 18:1, we read, “And he spake a ...read more

    One of the prescribed weapons to destroy the recrimination of Satan is prayer. As you stand in holiness,whatsoever you decree shall come to pass. You should bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

    “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into ...read more

    The route to the experience of the presence of God is earnest desire to seek Him. God will not draw near to us if we have no thirst and hunger for His fellowship.

    INTIMACY WITH GOD: OUR SOULS’ DESPERATE NEED Psalms 42:1 “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God” In these days of abysmal disconnect from God, the most fitting inspirational counsel is “Draw nigh to God” James 4:8.

    In this passage Jesus previews the new era that He is about to bring. Of great importance is the direct relationship with God this will bring and the accompanying great prayer power.

    WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS SAYING: Jesus starts by telling them a major transition is coming. - John 16:16-22. - There is a lot of uncertainty from the disciples about what Jesus is talking about in these sayings. The meaning is hidden to them. - Of course, we know that He is referring ...read more
