About this sermon

This study begins with a prayer for those affected by recent disasters, emphasizing the importance of community and faith. It explores three parables from the Gospel of Luke, focusing on a widow's relentless pursuit of justice from an indifferent judge. This narrative illustrates the significance of persistence in prayer and human reliance on God for hope and justice. Dr Brooks encourages everyone to seek support from Jesus in facing life's burdens. #prayer #parables #justice #faith #community Ouline Tell Me the Stories of Jesus Bible Study #1 January 9, 2025 Persistence in Prayer: Luke 11:1-13, 18:1-8 I.
