Where's Your Faith?
Pastor Bruce delves into the topic of prayer, drawing from the parable of the persistent widow and the unjust judge in Luke chapter 18. He begins by addressing a sobering reality: how little time the average Christian spends in communication with God, comparing it to how a relationship with a spouse or child would suffer with such little interaction.
Using the scripture as a foundation, he illustrates how persistence is key to a powerful prayer life. If an unjust judge who fears neither God nor man will grant a request to a widow simply because she is persistent, how much more will a loving Heavenly Father listen to His children? The message encourages listeners not to worry, not to quit, and not to doubt, but to approach God with a positive and expectant faith. The sermon culminates by posing the profound question Jesus asks at the end of the parable: "When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
