We read Luke 11 and sit with Jesus’ model of prayer, his call to persistent faith, and his warning against a spirituality that looks clean on the outside but stays dark within. We also challenge ourselves to choose a “certain place” to meet with God so our private life with him shapes how we show up in the world.
• Luke’s emphasis on the humanity of Jesus and why that makes him a trustworthy intercessor
• The Lord’s Prayer as a pattern for daily dependence, forgiveness, and humility
• Persistence in prayer through the midnight friend story and ask seek knock
• Jesus’ response to accusations about Beelzebub and what it says about God’s kingdom
• The sign of Jonah, the danger of sign-chasing, and the call to real obedience
• The lamp and the eye as a warning about inner darkness and self-deception
• Woes to Pharisees and experts in the law as a critique of hypocrisy and burdening others
• The idea of a “certain place” to pray as a practical habit for spiritual formation
