You've probably prayed for something - maybe even cried out to God for justice - and nothing seemed to happen. Did I not pray enough? Is God not willing to help? Can I trust that He will do what is right? Join us as we look at "The Persistent Widow and the Unjust Judge" in Luke 18:1-8.

Throughout this chapter, this is taught in many ways. It starts with persistent, thankful, modest prayer. How we approach God, and if we compare ourselves to others, says a great deal about us. This humility must persist after prayer and in how we treat those less fortunate than us. A ruler walks away from Christ because he will not sell his goods and help others. For those who are willing to do so, Jesus will care for them now and forever in heaven. Jesus demonstrates this entirely when He gives His life on the cross. So much of this for us is tied to our unworthiness. We are like the blind beggar, saved by the relentless pursuit of the love and mercy of Jesus Christ. Jesus' teaching from Luke's perspective is quite challenging. It demands of us things we may easily understand, like prayer and trust and seeking Him diligently and fully. But then Jesus turns attention to how we see others. He demands we never elevate ourselves over others. He tells us to give up our own goods to help those who have less. Instead of telling us to be cautious about that, He demonstrates unprecedented charity by giving His life on the cross. He then challenges us to love like He loves. Would we have stopped to help the blind man? Part of growth is realizing that we are that man. But this must then extend to the compassionate way we see others. Ever-present Lord, we thank You for always being willing to hear our prayers. We believe You always answer in a way that honors You and is good for us, according to Your will. Help us to self-evaluate as we pray. Teach us to be loving toward others, and to ask for wisdom to give, to serve, and to spread Your mercy and kindness to them. Your Son gave everything and now sits in glory. Show us how to pattern our daily lives after Him. Open our eyes to Him and give us the opportunity today to help others see His way. - How impactful is daily prayer in your life? If you are consistent and filled with thanksgiving, how will prayer be helpful to you? - Do you pray for others? Not just friends, but the needy, the hurting, and even those who don't love you. Why is this important? - “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Do you appeal to Jesus in this way? How does Jesus respond to genuine calls for healing and help?

Sunday March 31, 2025Lesson of the Day: Don't cling so tightly to your wealth that you miss out on Jesus.
In this week's message, Pastor Roger looks at two parables of Jesus from Luke 18 where Jesus tells us about being persistent in prayer without losing heart. Prayer takes faith and we should come to God like children, full of dependency, innocence, humility, wonder, and yes, questions! Our faithful Father is faithful to meet us where we are. -Featuring Roger Hirth

This week we're reading Luke 18:31-19:10, the stories the disciples being unable to comprehend Jesus's impending death and resurrection, a blind man asking Jesus to regain his sight, and Jesus inviting himself to the home of Zacchaeus. Each of these stories, we realize, is about perception—who is able to see correctly and whose vision is blocked. The disciples cannot grasp Jesus's words about his suffering, death, and resurrection, perhaps mercifully so, since seeing clearly what was about to transpire may have been more than they could handle. With some irony, we note that it is the blind man who sees correctly, recognizing Jesus as the Son of David and having the courage to imagine that a new reality is possible for him. And while Zacchaeus famously climbs a sycamore tree to see Jesus, it is the crowd who misperceives Zacchaeus, accusing him of being a sinner when in fact he is living a righteous life. Who is it we misperceive, we sonder, and how might we be bold enough to imagine a new reality?
Luke 18:9-17 (NASB) 9 "And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: 10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 "The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.' 13 "But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!' 14 "I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted." 15 And they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them. 16 But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 "Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."" Outline:1) In Prayer (18:9-14)2) In Salvation (18:15-17)

Luke 18-19 | The Works at Jericho | Johnny Kurcina | Mar. 30, 2025 This week, Johnny takes us through two stories, one as Jesus enters Jericho, and the other as Jesus leaves. Johnny discusses the faith of the blind beggar, the only one who sees Jesus as the Messiah, and Zacchaeus the chief tax […]
Jesus addressed this parableto those who were convinced of their own righteousnessand despised everyone else.“Two people went up to the temple area to pray;one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself,‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity — greedy, dishonest, adulterous — or even like this tax collector.I fast twice a week,and I pay tithes on my whole income.'But the tax collector stood off at a distanceand would not even raise his eyes to heavenbut beat his breast and prayed,‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.'I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former;for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Faith Of A Child! Live Like That Luke 18:17 17Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Have Mercy on Me! : Luke 18:9-14 : Pastor Raef Chenery : 03-16-25 by Park Community Church

* Jesus is on His final trip from Galilee to Jerusalem. He has made His way down the Jordan River in order to pass through Jericho. * In our study of the Gospel according to Luke, we have seen that Jesus clearly will go out of His way in order to "coincidentally" have an encounter with specific individuals. In many of those occasions, those individuals would have been considered outcasts of society - lepers, demoniacs, gentiles, Roman centurions, tax collectors, prostitutes, etc. * Today, we see Jesus engage another "outcast." Yet, as we have seen in many of those other encounters, Jesus sets up the opportunity for them to engage Him! * In today's passage, we also see a juxtaposition of two accounts in which God keeps blinded the "eyes" of those who can see (the Apostles) and opens the eyes of one who cannot see (Bar-Timaeus)! * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on March 16, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
