## Resource

What if prayer isn’t about convincing God to listen? In Luke 11, Jesus tells a strange story about a neighbour who refuses to help in the middle of the night. At first glance, it sounds like a lesson about persistence—keep knocking until God finally answers. But a closer look reveals something deeper. In this message from our Parables of Grace series, we explore the story often called The Unhelpful Friend and discover that Jesus isn’t teaching us to badger God into responding. Instead, he invites us into a posture of shameless audacity—standing before God without fear, calculation, or shame. Prayer isn’t a transaction. It’s an act of trust. Join us as we explore: • Why Jesus answers questions with stories • Our human desire for predictable formulas in faith • The difference between persistence and audacity in prayer • What it means to approach God without shame Scripture: Luke 11:1–8 If you’d like to learn more about Commons Church, visit: https://commons.church #prayer #Luke11 #ParablesOfGrace #JesusTeaching #Faith ★ Support this podcast ★
