Lesson 104: How to Wait on the Kingdom (Luke 18:1-8)

God answers prayer. That is a truth something that every children’s biblical Sunday School curriculum will include. But what kind of a God is it that answers our prayers? Is he like a judge who just wishes we would go away so that he ends up giving us what we want? Is the point of his parable that we should be like a widow asking the same thing until God hears? Pastor Daniel walks us through this passage, encouraging us that “as we wait in this kingdom for the future kingdom, [we can] persevere and pray because we have a God who cares and acts.” The application then comes in two forms through commentary on verse 8. 1) Continually hope in God’s righteous love for His glory and concern for you, and 2) Demonstrate your hope through persistent prayer.
