 Welcome from  Brown Chapel/Avant & Mt. Pleasant

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: Luke 18:1-8 - Then Jesus told them a parable to show them they should always pray and not lose heart.  He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people.  There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.'  For a while he refused, but later on he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God nor have regard for people, yet because this widow keeps on bothering me, I will give her justice, or in the end she will wear me out by her unending pleas.'"  And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says!  Won't God give justice to his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night?  Will he delay long to help them?  I tell you, he will give them justice speedily.  Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?'

Subject: Keep On Keeping On

• We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  Ephesians 6:12
• We should always pray and not faint.  Luke 18:1
•  We must stay steadfast in the Word.
• God has the power to deliver us if we only persist.
• We must hold onto Jesus and the words of truth.
• Hebrews 12:1-2 -  Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
• Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.  Galatians 6:9
