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.

Persistence & Prayer - Parable of the Persistent Widow - Luke 18

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.

"The Persistent Widow" Luke 18: 1 - 8 Jim Gaston

Luke 18: 1-8

Luke is a powerful study of the Life of Jesus. We will see His humanity and His Deity. We will see His compassion and His anger at injustice and evil. We will see His kingship and His sacrifice. Above all, we will see Jesus Himself for who He really is, not who we want Him to be. We encourage you to read the book of Luke 10 times in the 10 weeks we go through the book. -----------LINKS---------- Support 10WB on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/10weekbible The 10 Week Bible - http://www.10WeekBible.com Twitter: @DarrenHibbs - https://twitter.com/DarrenHibbs Sign up for my newsletter - http://www.darrenhibbs.com Get a copy of the 10 Week Bible Study today - https://www.amazon.com/Darren-Hibbs/e/B00B4I47CE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl2&tag=darrenhcom0a-20&linkId=401f3d79974c70929517936977e32df9 My other YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChUU0XHSHuhSyN8qk-7efYg

O God, teach us to always pray and not lose heart. Help us to pray with persistent trust in You.

by: Ben Adkison from: Luke 18:1-8

Jesus knew that difficult days lay ahead for His disciples. They might well grow weary and lose spirit in praying for justice to come in the Lord's Kingdom. And so He proclaimed the parable of the persistent widow (or parable of the importunate widow, or parable of the unjust judge). God's purposes will be accomplished speedily. But will the Son of Man find faith on the Day on which He returns? The Parable of the Persistent Widow | Luke 18:1-8 | Jesus' Parables | Outline | Video And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint; saying, "There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man: and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, 'Though I fear not God, nor regard man; yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.'" And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge saith. And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them? I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"

Series: The Extent of Grace Date: Nov 18, 2018 About this series Our series in Luke will take us through the end of 2018 and well into 2019 as we look at the many parables, teachings, miracles, and events that are recorded only in Luke's gospel. In these passages we'll find that Luke brings to light again and again the fact that Jesus was spending time with outcasts. Luke makes sure we know that Christ's gospel message and miraculous deeds extended to the poor, the broken, the prostitutes, the tax-collectors, women, children and Gentiles. Walking through this book we'll behold and be reminded of the extent of God's glorious grace!  About Stonehouse Church We are Christ followers devoted to making much of Jesus and welcoming all into true community as we extend the love of God to a broken world.

The Gospel Of Luke: Vol 2. Journeying Jew | Rejected Son Of Man

Sermon Notes1. Favor and Riches, vv. 1-22. Pleading and Respect, vv. 3-63. Conundrums and Riddles, vv. 7-104. Defense and Repayment, vv. 9-145. Gladness and Rejoicing, vv. 15-17Reflection Questions1. Are God’s people special? Special because of who we naturally are, or special because of something God has done? (See Dt. 7:7-8) Why has God chosen us, blessed us, or made us special? (See Gen 12:3; I Peter 2:9 – Focus on the word “that” which reveals the purpose behind God’s actions.)2. Read the Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1-8). Compare and contrast this woman to Esther’s actions in Esther 8. What lesson is Luke 18 trying to teach us about our prayer life (see vv. 1, 5, 8) and about God’s disposition towards us (see v.8)?3. Despite Mordecai’s confidence that God would deliver (Esther 4:14), God does not tell his people how he will deliver them until Esther 8:11. Even then, God does not tell them directly; they only find out from the king’s 2nd edict. Read Deuteronomy 29:29; do we know everything there is to know about God? (cf. Rom. 11:33-36) Can we trust God even if we don’t know everything there is to know about God?

The Parable of the Persistent Widow LUKE 18: 1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’” 6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

“The Persistent Widow” Luke 18:1-9 July 24, 2016 Pastor Tony Felich  ----more---- Luke 18:1 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?”   Keep praying, God will answer His children in His time.   An unlikely model for persistent prayer   What is prayer?   Q. 88. What are the outward and ordinary means whereby Christ communicateth to us the benefits of redemption?A. The outward and ordinary means whereby Christ communicateth to us the benefits of redemption are, his ordinances, especially the word, sacraments, and prayer; all which are made effectual to the elect for salvation. Q. 98. What is prayer?A. Prayer is an offering up of our desires unto God, for things agreeable to his will, in the name of Christ, with confession of our sins, and thankful acknowledgment of his mercies.

The Parable of the Persistent Widow Luke 18:Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ 4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’” 6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 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? 8 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?”

Ever wonder if God is listening? Sometimes it may seem that our prayers are not heard and that we reach out but we get no response. Listen as Mike Woodruff talks about God's Kingdom and how persistence can be the key to understanding what God wants from us in our walk.

We are all in a position of influencing those around us, but we soon realise that we do not have it all sorted. Does that mean we cannot make an impact with our lives? Looking at the parable of the Persistent Widow in Luke 18, we begin to unpack the truth that God does not expect us to be perfect, but He does expect us to pray and see what He can do with our imperfect circumstances.
