Play Rocky Theme if possible. If not then explain the intro and most people in the audience will understand. Then proceed to paint the picture using the movie description below.
Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), a small-time boxer from working-class Philadelphia, is arbitrarily chosen to take on the reigning world heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), when the undefeated fighter's scheduled opponent is injured. While training with feisty former bantamweight contender Mickey Goldmill (Burgess Meredith), Rocky tentatively begins a relationship with Adrian (Talia Shire), the wallflower sister of his meat-packer pal Paulie (Burt Young).
In our sermon today we find Jesus giving a parable in Luke right after he has just explained to them how to pray. We know this prayer as the Lord’s Prayer. Luke’s account like many other that he gives reveals details that no other synoptic Gospel does. But in what we will see today, Jesus tells us to be persistent in how we pray to the heavenly father!

Ask, seek, knock. “The three repetitions of the command are more than mere repetitions; since to seek is more than to ask, and to knock than to seek” (Trench, “Parables”).

So Jesus encouraged people to be persistent in prayer—not to change God’s mind but to be steadfast in praying and to receive their needs.
