"They ought always to pray and not lose heart," Jesus told his disciples. Why? Because His kingdom is an already but not yet kingdom. He knew His disciples would need to know how to navigate waiting for His ultimate return and the suffering and injustice they would experience in the meantime. We also need to heed God's call to pray often for justice and to place our faith in the one true just Judge who hears our prayers and is coming again. This message was preached by Pastor John Jackson on January 4, 2026.
