THE MAIN IDEA FROM OUR DISCUSSION ON WEDNESDAY (3/5/2025)
  • The Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1-8)
    • What is the purpose of this parable?
      •  (V. 1- That we would continue steadfast in prayer and not lose heart)
    • What is the remedy for a discouraged heart?
      • (V. 1- Prayer is the remedy/  Going to God with our every need)
    • Why is a ‘widow’ a fitting symbol for disciples of Jesus?
      • (The starting place for discipleship is brokenness.  Realizing that we are lost and helpless on our own.  Matthew 5:3)
    • How does the widow demonstrate “faith”?  
    • What is the question posed in verse 8?  What does that mean?
      • (V.8-   The question is whether or not there will actually be any steadfast believers that continue to call out in prayer when Jesus finally returns?
    • How does your prayer life compare to the persistent widow?  Do you regularly nag God about all of your needs?  
    • How should Christians think about unanswered prayers? What are some of the things it could mean when prayers go unanswered?
      • (2 Peter 3:8-9- God’s timing is not our timing.)
      • (2 Cor. 12:7-10) Sometimes God has purposes for things that we don’t understand)
    • What do you sense Jesus talking to you about through this parable?
    • Pray for each other.

It has been such a joy beginning the process of getting to know your students here at Creekside and I am humbled to be entrusted with the task of pointing them towards Jesus.  I realize when a church hires a new youth pastor, there is a natural tendency to think that they are here to work with the teens.  Whereas that is certainly a part of my role, mom’s & dad’s, I want you to know that I’m also here for YOU!  Parenting is no easy task, and as parents you will absolutely be the number one influence on your children and upon their spiritual formation!  As you seek to point your kids towards Jesus, please know that you aren’t in this alone!  If there is anything at all that I can do to support you as you shepherd your children, my door is always open!
