One Church, Two Prayers: Overcoming the Blindness of the Pharisee.

One church, two prayers raised the need for a fresh revival of repentance, as we humble ourselves before God in prayer, in leadership, and in honest worship. The way to Jesus Christ is by grace and not of works. The parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector points to a need for mercy, which requires a repentant heart and not a proud heart (Lk 18). It is the reality of our need for Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins that makes God hear our prayers. One church, two prayers resonate with the state and decline of...

Jesus Christ ends His illustration of the Parable of the persistent widow by affirming His Second Coming (Lk 18:1-8). He linked His Second Coming directly to faith, with continued, pursuing prayer.

Persistent Widow: Model of Believers between Jesus’ First and Second Comings.

Jesus’ parables, as earthly stories with heavenly meaning, are intended to teach or convey a renewing concept through descriptive language, enabling hearers to learn a specific lesson or point. The parable of the Persistent Woman as an earthly story with heavenly meaning is placed in the context of Jesus explaining the nature of the kingdom of God, shaped by persistent prayer and His eventual return. Prayer is a blood-bought privilege for every son and daughter of God. Persistent prayer and faith go together. Beloved do not be deceived. Jesus is coming again. Jesus is concerned that His followers learn to be consistent...
