As a follow up to the story itself, Pastor Joseph explores WHY we need a parable to encourage us to always pray and never give up - especially since the parable ends by saying that our Heavenly Father will answer us quickly.

In this second message in the Series Pastor Joseph takes a hard look at the questions Jesus asks the Pharisees when He chooses to heal on the Sabbath. It’s not often the Bible tells us that Jesus became angry, but this is one of those times. It’s all about placing people over programs and the fact that Religion always makes a burden out of something God intended to be a blessing.

In this Series Opener Pastor Joseph digs into a familiar story to get at the heart of the questions Jesus asked His disciples. Right after Jesus calms a life threatening storm He asks His disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Where is your faith?” But what if these questions were not a rebuke, but honest asking? Could Jesus possibly be driving at something else here? Insightful and interesting , this Message is a must-hear.

Pastor Joseph digs into the worse parable ever - a story with NO good characters. And yet this is the story Jesus tells to teach us that we should always pray and never give up. It’s a fun, insightful, informative look into this somewhat puzzling parable.

This week we continue looking at how we can be used by God to help people deal with their Blind Spots.. Pastor Joseph discusses the value in Praying more than we Preach at a person, as well as the need to help people find freedom over trying to “fix” them.

Now that we’ve done the deep dive into each phrase of the Model Prayer - Pastor Joseph, with a bit of help from Martin Luther, puts it all together into a powerful and effective template for us to use in our own prayer times.

This week we turn the corner from just looking at our Blind Spots to realizing that the end of the Scripture we’ve repeatedly referred to in this series talks about us helping someone else deal with their Blind Spots. Pastor Joseph begins discussing some of the ways we can be used by God to bring freedom and healing.

The last part of the Model Prayer actually doesn’t appear in several reliable translations of the Bible. Pastor Joseph explains why - and then digs into this closing of the Lord’s Prayer (which is actually very close to 1Chron 29:11)
