Hey God, Me Again... - June 7, 2026

Every one of us has prayers we've brought before God that seem to go unanswered. Maybe you've found yourself discouraged, doubting, or even giving up on prayer altogether — wondering if God is really listening or if He even cares. In this message, we dive into Luke 18 and the Parable of the Persistent Widow, where Jesus tells his followers a story specifically to encourage them to pray and not lose heart.Through the contrast of an unjust, uncaring judge and a desperate widow who refuses to give up, Jesus makes a powerful argument — if even this coldhearted judge eventually gives the widow what she needs, how much MORE will a loving, righteous, heavenly Father respond to the cries of His people? We also spend time in Luke 11 where Jesus teaches His disciples to pray, and unpacks what boldness and persistence in prayer actually look like in the life of a believer.But perhaps the biggest takeaway from this message is a perspective shift — the ultimate purpose of prayer isn't just getting answers or changing our circumstances. It's about drawing closer to God Himself, being filled with His Spirit, and being formed into people who can honestly say "not my will, but yours." If you've lost heart in your prayer life, this message is for you.
