Luke 18:1-14, Prayer Parable [1212019, Sunday PM]

• Prayer should be persevering--18:1, “do not faint”

• This is a story to make a point. The point is to encourage age-long prayer.

• The content:

o The woman makes a petition

o Her petition is ignored, vv. 2-3

o The petition is granted, vv. 4-5

 What motivated the man? The woman’s persistence

• As a believer, we need to understand we have to wait—patience, v. 8.

o God is always there to help, but it is in His time.

• “The faith:--v. 8—“the previously mentioned faith”

Companion parable, vv. 9-14

• Two men

• Two prayers

• Two results

*Benevolence should always be objective.

Observations:

• God rejects all external performance not matched by inner reality.

• A man may sin even by praying (all show).

• The one in humiliation that admits his sinfulness is the one rewarded.
