God is not a Crooked Judge

Luke 18:1-8

Theme: Persistence in prayer

Point: Men ought to always pray and not lose heart.

Outline:

  1. Is God like this crooked judge?
    1. Yes. God is the only one who can make things right in your life.
    2. No. You do not have to beat God up in prayer to get him to do what is right for you.
      1. God's character is good.
      2. God's ways are just.
      3. God's timing is perfect.
  2. Are you like this persistent widow?
    1. Yes. You have an adversary (v. 3) that you cannot handle on your own.
    2. No. You are God's elect (v. 7), not some helpless widow.
    3. I don't know. Only time will tell whether you have the faith to persist in prayer (v. 8b).
