Luke 18 || "Desperate Faith"
Feb 8, 2026 • Jacob Collins
You’ve no doubt heard the phrase, “Desperate times call for desperate measures.” In Luke 18, Jesus knows times are about to get desperate for himself and his followers. He wants them ready to respond in faith; keep praying, and never give up. Every parable, miracle and interaction in the chapter comes back to this mantra for desperate faith.
Have you ever been desperate? Have you ever been in danger of losing heart and close to giving up?
This chapter is for preparation for the disciples and for the perseverance of the saints (us!). We all need to hear about the kind of faith that Jesus wants to find in his followers.
Read Luke 18 (yea, the whole thing) and reflect on times in your life when hope has grown dim and faith was in short supply.
