0:00.0	Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.
0:13.4	Today, Jesus starts out by encouraging his disciples to pray about what's really on their hearts, to not give up asking.
0:19.9	He tells a story about a wicked judge
0:21.6	who finally caves to the persistent nagging of a local widow. I'm really glad Jesus is not drawing
0:27.3	a direct parallel here. It's similar to the parable he told about the dishonest manager two days
0:32.2	ago in Luke 16. With that parable, he was illustrating how a worldly person handles things and was saying the kingdom mentality and reality is better than that.
0:41.6	And we have that idea showing up again today.
0:44.0	For instance, the judge in this parable doesn't fear God or man.
0:47.7	So if even he will relent and hear the widows cry, then how much more would a loving father hear and respond to the cries of his kids?
0:55.4	It's also helpful to back up a chapter and see where this falls in the overall narrative of what
0:59.6	Jesus is saying here. The last thing he talked to them about in Luke 17 was the coming of his
1:04.4	kingdom. He talked about times of judgment and persecution, times of loss and perseverance,
1:09.6	so it's fitting that he would follow that kind of
1:11.6	story with a reminder that God is always listening to their needs. Because when trials come,
1:16.8	they need to remember where their hope is. The promise that God hears their prayers is a far weightier
1:22.1	promise than, say, getting them a promotion or finding them a spouse. He's definitely attentive
1:26.9	to those things and encourages us to pray for things big, medium, a spouse. He's definitely attentive to those things
1:27.5	and encourages us to pray for things big, medium, and small. He doesn't discriminate when it comes
1:32.1	to conversations with his kids. This is just a promise that they can pray even bigger than they
1:37.1	may be thought possible. He knows they need to be reminded that God is attentive because it's
1:41.5	the awareness of God's attention and love that will invite their
1:44.7	own faithfulness. If they feel forgotten by God, they certainly won't walk closely with him,
