We often fall into this trap where we either consider ourselves to be utterly self-sufficient or we consider ourselves to be lacking. Either way we are setting our sights in the wrong direction, focused on either judging ourselves or others rather than turning to God for grace.

In this week's message we look at the parable that Jesus told his disciple in Luke 18 about the persistent widow and look at what he wants us to learn about the importance of persistence when praying.

The subject of the text in Luke 17:26-37 is very difficult. It speaks about what the condition of the world will be like when God comes back to bring His final judgement, but because Jesus loves us so much He wants us to be ready for that day, He tells us the truth even when it is uncomfortable.

The cross of Jesus is often rejected or not liked. There are many people that will accept Jesus only when he speaks of love and fulfill their need of being loved, but do not accept Jesus as an authority over their lives.

In Luke 17:11-19, Luke tells the story of 10 lepers who were healed. Nine of the lepers went away and did not thank Jesus. Only one leper came back to thank Jesus. Jesus said to this leper, "Your faith has saved you." The leper goes back to gratitude. In this message Pastor Ken asks the question, why do we need to go back to gratitude? Life can be full of disappointments. We live in a false world, and this greatly affects our attitude towards gratitude. And we have to keep reminding ourselves to repent or go back to gratitude.

Jesus is using the parable in Luke 17:7-10 in the form of 3 questions to teach us about the importance of being unentitled. We should not expect to be praised or rewarded for doing what is right. We should simply do our duty, out of love for God and for others, because we have been chosen to serve.
