Keep On Knocking by Pastor Larry Paige

Have you ever felt like God wasn’t answering, even when you prayed persistently? In today’s message, Pastor Larry Paige takes us into Luke 11, using the parable of the persistent friend to show the importance of “keeping on knocking” in our relationship with God. Starting with a knock-knock joke, he explores how approaching God as "Father" transforms our prayers from self-focused to kingdom-minded. This message challenges us to ask for more—not just for ourselves, but to bless others—urging us to claim God’s promises, trust His timing, and grow deeper in faith through persistence in prayer.
