In this Bible teaching, recorded at a live event in Greenville NC, Matthew Lilley discusses the theme of persistence in prayer, drawing from the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18. He emphasizes the importance of faith, the power of prayer, and the necessity of community in sustaining a prayer life.
The discussion highlights how understanding God's nature as a loving father can fuel persistent prayer and how collective prayer efforts can lead to transformation in communities and nations.
