In this powerful Lutheran sermon based on Luke 11:1–13, Pastor Balla explores Jesus’ teaching on prayer and the Father’s greatest gift—the Holy Spirit. In a world where faith often grows cold and prayer becomes rare, Jesus invites us to ask boldly, seek faithfully, and knock persistently. The Holy Spirit is not just a helper in prayer—He is the very breath of faith, the one who keeps us praying, believing, and abiding in Christ. This sermon speaks especially to those feeling spiritually dry, weary in prayer, or struggling to endure in the Christian life. Rooted in the theology of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) and the Small Catechism, this message proclaims that the Spirit comes through the Word and Sacraments, sustaining us daily. Whether you are a lifelong Lutheran or new to Christian preaching, this Christ-centered sermon offers encouragement and clarity. Subscribe for weekly Law and Gospel preaching, Lutheran doctrine, and Christ-exalting messages.
