The Cry God Can't Ignore - Pastor Rhonda Davis

Sunday Feb 22, 2026

In this message, Pastor Rhonda Davis uses the Parable of the Unjust Judge from Luke 18 to illustrate that God is a just and loving Father who is moved by the persistent, heartfelt cries of His children. She emphasizes that while an earthly judge may be motivated by selfishness, God delights in our prayers and "runs to the cry" of those who are hurting or in need. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to never lose heart, teaching that their persistent petitions arise like incense before the throne of a God who is eager to intervene.
