The Faith of Persistent Prayer: from Luke 18

Welcome to the Heights Church podcast! In today's episode, we delve into the parable of the persistent widow from Luke 18:1-8. Jesus teaches His disciples the importance of always praying and not giving up. Through the story of a powerless widow and an unjust judge, we explore the themes of justice, faith, and the power of persistent prayer.
Our message emphasizes that, unlike the unjust judge, God is righteous, loving, and eager to hear our prayers. We are not like the helpless widow; as God's children, we are heirs with direct access to His grace and mercy. The episode encourages us to continue praying faithfully, trusting in God's promises and His perfect timing.
Join us as we reflect on the significance of living in "pregnant anticipation" of Christ's return, feeling the movements of His promises, and remaining steadfast in our faith. Whether you're in Sydney or tuning in from afar, we invite you to be inspired and uplifted by today's message.

The Golden Secret: Finding Refuge and Joy in God

Welcome to the Heights Church Podcast! Join us today as we delve into Psalm 16, often referred to as "the golden secret." This episode is part of our series on prayer, where we explore the profound ways God invites us to communicate with Him.
Psalm 16, a miktam of David, offers rich insights into finding refuge, safety, and comfort in God, especially during challenging times. David's heartfelt prayer for preservation and his deep gratitude for God's presence, even in adversity, provide a powerful model for our own prayer lives.
Discover how David's genuine gratitude and contentment, even when hiding in a cave, can inspire us to focus on the blessings within our own boundary lines. Learn how to resist the distractions of envy and comparison, and instead, embrace the unique portion God has assigned to each of us.
Through the lens of Psalm 16 and the parable of the workers in the vineyard, we are reminded that true joy comes from being with God and fulfilling the good works He has prepared for us. Tune in as we explore the deep satisfaction found in a life centered on God, and how prayer can transform our perspective and bring us closer to Him.
