Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. Jesus said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to the judge and saying, ‘Grant me justice against my accuser.’ Luke 18:1-3
Pray and don’t lose heart; God will answer the prayers of the faithful. Let’s reflect on the thorny notion of “unanswered prayer” and God’s seeming unresponsiveness to our petitions. What if God is not an unjust judge, but rather a fully just and faithful one? A further question: Are we responsive to God’s prayers for justice? Is God the unjust judge or the persistent widow? Who are we?
Highlights include reports from the Lead Minister Search Committee, the launch of a process to evaluate our unified worship service, and informative reports from all our Ministry Areas.
