Praying Through

October 23, 2016

Please turn: Luke 18:1-8: (NLT)

Big Idea: Never give up believing

One day Jesus told His disciples a story to show

that they should always pray and never give up.

Luke 18:1

However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?

Luke 18:8b NIV

“Pray without ceasing.”

1Thessalonians 5:17

Why You Should Persist In Faith

 You’re a child of God (1John 3:1-2)

 You have ready access to the Father (Ephesians 3:12)

 You have friends in high places (Romans 8:26, 34)

 You come to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16)

 You have many promises (Matthew 7:7, 2Corinthians 1:20)

Pokey & Speedy (V 7-8)

-Think of Pokey as preparation time

-Think of Speedy as a seed that’s been planted

What is God’s Spirit speaking into your life today? How must you respond?
