Come Pray: Presence

Heather Thomas of Imago Dei Community preaches on prayer out of Luke 18:1-14. In this sermon we look at prayers that cry out to God in humility. These can be desperate pleas for help, for mercy, for hope. In these two parables we start by seeing an unjust judge giving a widow mercy. If an unjust judge will do this, how much more will our loving God take care of us? In the second parable, Jesus uses this story to both speak out again self-righteousness and show how much he values a heart that cries out to God in humility. These stories point to prayer being an awareness of the company of God.
