When you look at all that is going on in the world today, don't you sometimes wish that Jesus would just come back soon and bring an end to all that is wrong and ungodly? Have you ever prayed that Jesus would come back and fix it all? Is it wrong to pray for that? As we open God's word this week, we will get Jesus' answer. In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus encourages His disciples to pray about the future with a parable about a widow who keeps asking an unfair judge for help. She's being treated badly and wants the judge to use his power to help her. We're pretty much like that widow. Our only real source of help is God, just like the widow's only real source of help is the judge. She keeps coming back again and again until the judge finally gives her justice just to get her to stop bothering him. And this is where understanding the parable gets strange. On the surface it seems as though the point of the parable is that if you can wear out an unjust human judge, then you may stand a chance of wearing out God so that He answers your prayers just to get you “off his back.” But that can't be true, can it? Join us as we untangle this strange parable and unlock what could bring a new dimension to your prayer life.

In the Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1–8), Jesus shows us how to stay faithful in the tension of waiting through persistent prayer that refuses to faint. Waiting on the Lord isn't passive and sitting on your hands--it's active, rooted in prayer. Waiting isn't just about asking God to act; it's where God works in us, and we can work for Him too.

The Parable of the Persistent Widow18.1 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. 2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. 3 And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.' 4 For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.'” 6 And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. 7 And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Pastor Larry Ellis guides us through how we are to be persistent in our prayers.

This week, we have the pleasure of hearing from Joel Ninaber, who reflects on Jesus' parable of the persistent widow. He emphasizes the vital importance of maintaining a constant communication with God in our lives. Luke 18:1-8 The Parable of the Persistent Widow 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 what people thought.  And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.'  “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't fear God or care what people think,  yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually come and attack me!'”  And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.  And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?  I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

The Persistent Widow: Luke 18:1-8 Pray and don't give up - Sophie Lovesmith

As we embarked into the 2020's, we were met with the largest sociological and psychological experiment conducted in modernity. A “global pandemic,” declared by an international institution with unelected officials over-exerting their authority across the world, shut down everything from your local coffee shop, to five star luxury destinations thousands of miles away. It was a test of the communications infrastructure, to see how far and fast “critical” information would travel. It assessed how political authorities both local and federal, mainstream media outlets, and corporations would respond in a “once-in-a-generation” crisis moment. It of course tested the citizens of many nations their level of compliance, or more explicitly, obedience to these higher authorities. Then came additional levels of tests on society via the vaccines and boosters in response to the variants.    As a modern day temple of sorts, hospitals became the center of attention during this period for obvious reasons. Institutional health authorities provided “protocols” to follow, attached with financial incentives, in response to stress, pressure, and uncertainties experienced in hospitals across the world. But what was meant to be a guide to protect and save, may have turned out to be a nefarious and discriminatory justification to kill.   We all know someone who passed away during the pandemic. And I'm sure many of us question the validity of labels like “covid” attached to those friends and family we lost if they were declared as such. And I am certain, that there are untold heartbreaking stories from the last 3 years regarding these issues. But as the saying goes, God is good All the time, and all the time God is good, which means even the worst tragedies can be a beacon for goodness and truth.    It is with this heart that we welcome the authors of The Protocol That Kills, A True Crime Story, the persistent widow of our late friend and beloved colleague Rob Skiba, Shiela Skiba and co-authors Roberta and Allen Stalvey.   LINKS Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18) The Protocol That Kills Website: https://theprotocolthatkills.com Preview the Book!

The parable of the persistent widow branches off from some of the normal patterns found in Jesus' parables. Much can be gleaned from this parable, such as learning more about God's character, our faithfulness, and what our prayer lives should look like. We also answer two questions submitted by a listener! 

A sermon by Darren Enns at Forefront Church at Harvey Park in Denver, CO.

The parable of the persistent widow, found in Luke 18:1-8, is a story Jesus told to remind us to pray and not give up. But it isn't just a parable teaching us to pray more. It's a parable rooted in the big-picture story of the coming of Christ, our present challenges, and our future hope.

Jesus tells the Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1-8) to encourage his followers “to pray always and not to lose heart.” With this story of a tenacious woman, Jesus encourages us to make our requests known to our good and gracious Lord - trusting that God hears our prayers, cares for us, and will, ultimately, make things right. As Jesus himself teaches and embodies, whatever else God may or may not give us in answer to our prayers, God always gives us himself. Join us for In-Person Worship Sundays at 9:30am and 11am.
