Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station.

On today's edition, a pathway to victory.

Here's the big idea, Luke said.

Jesus told the story to illustrate how we ought to pray in every circumstance.

Not just in the easy circumstances, not when the answer seems obvious or possible.

We ought to pray at all times and not lose heart.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

As Christians, we've been given an immense privilege to place our requests before God in prayer.

Yet many times we struggle to make prayer a consistent part of our daily life.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress opens to the parable of the persistent widow to discover the power of persistent praying.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress, thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

I'm glad you joined us because this week we're wrapping up our month-long teaching series in which I'm focusing on several of Jesus' favorite stories.

In conjunction with my teaching series on the parables of Jesus, I've written a brand new book for your family that's called Jesus' favorite stories for kids.

Now, as I speak with parents and grandparents about the challenges they face today, people often tell me how they're looking for trustworthy materials to entertain their kids as well as inform their kids.

And they're looking for something that doesn't involve a computer or a cell phone.

I decided to write a book for kids that not only entertains them, but more importantly teaches them ten timeless lessons from Jesus.

My new book is fully illustrated, and I'm pleased to send you a copy when you give a generous gift to our Gospel Advanced Matching Challenge that's active for just one more week.

Just after my message today, I'll give our contact information so you can give your special gift.

Because of the $500,000 matching challenge, every dollar you give before July 4th, and that's next Monday, will have twice the impact.

That means your generous gift of, say, $50 becomes $100.

A $500 gift would be matched until it became $1,000. Some can give even more.
