The Persistent Widow And The God Who Hears | Luke 18:1-8

May 3, 2026    Taylor Geurin

We learn Jesus’ simple command to pray and not lose heart, then we watch how the persistent widow exposes what we really believe about God’s character. We leave with a challenge to reject prayerlessness, ask boldly, and rebuild our identity as a house of prayer. 

• Jesus’ instruction to always pray and not lose heart 

• the contrast between an unrighteous judge and a powerless widow 

• why the parable is a how much more argument about God’s goodness 

• God’s readiness to answer and His personal invitation as Father 

• Jesus’ question about faith when He returns 

• prayerlessness as practical atheism and idolatry 

• why we often ask too little and how to pray bigger prayers 

• the story of our prayer room and the fruit of a praying church
