#9 Persistent Prayer

#9 Persistent Prayer

Luke 17:20 – 18:8

 Supplied notes:

A negative picture of God?

1. A puzzling parable (18:1-5)

2. What is the point?

  • God is slow to answer prayer
  • The secret prayer formula (X+Y=Z)

3. Parables are like (Good) sermon illustrations

  • context is king
  • wider Luke 9:51 – Luke 19
  • who is the audience? Luke 18:1; 17:22
  • ‘the days of the Son of Man’ Luke 17:20-37

4. Let’s try again with the application

  1. God is NOT like the Judge
  2. What sort of praying?
  3. Why does God delay?

When Jesus comes will he find faith on the earth?

  • stay the course
