Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 24:34. Sermon end time: 44:51.
Jesus' parable about the persistent widow and the dishonorable judge is about the trustworthiness of God. If even a scurrilous judge will give a persistent widow justice, how much more will the God who created us give us justice if we ask? (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “It’s not a story about the structures of justice in human society. It’s not a story about the rewards of persistent prayer. It is a story about the character of God.”
