Kingdom Stories: Parables in Luke – The Persistent Widow

Listen Later

This week on the podcast, Haley sits down with pastors Aaron LeDuc and Greg Yancey to have a conversation on our most recent sermon from Kingdom Stories: Parables in Luke. This week, we dive into discussion on prayer from the parable on The Persistent Widow from Luke 18:1-8. You can listen to the sermon HERE!

  • Have either of you had a personal season where you prayed persistently for something, maybe even for years, before seeing any movement? What did God form in you during that time?
  • What about any examples where long-term, persistent prayer in ministry has led to surprising or powerful moments?
  • Greg, you spend a lot of your pastoral ministry with people in need through our compassion ministry partnerships and missions, how does this parable shape the way you pray for, or with them?
  • How should the urgency of Christ’s return change the way we pray for the lost?
  • Aaron, where do you think God is inviting our church family to be more persistent in prayer right now? And for both of you, how would you hope this parable shapes our church moving forward?
