Summary: 2 Timothy 4:1–8, Luke 11: 1-13. God wants us to persevere in our prayers, just as God wants us to persevere in life. Our message lifts-up God’s call for persistence in prayer knowing that God will give us what we need for our journeys, and in our persistence – our shameless perseverance before God – in our un-modest conversations in our life with God, we will eventually come to know a better reality. As we begin to work through one of the most crushing issues of our day, we will learn how our persistence in prayer can motivate the world to become a more perfect embodiment of the beloved kingdom if not through our deepened, individual understanding of God’s motivations for our lives then through the benefits our brothers and sisters realize from others who are serving God through their prayers and vital work for what is good and right and just.
