    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Aug 3, 2007
    based on 30 ratings
     | 13,069 views

    The three parables are examined in detail. These parables are eschatological in nature. These parables are written to give us reassurance in our faith right now and also to give us insight concerning the nature of the coming of the kingdom of God.

    Today in our Scripture Jesus teaches us three short parables which all tie together to form a fuller understanding of who God is and how he operates in our lives. You’ll notice as we read the Scripture today there are some verses that are quite difficult to understand and on a first reading we may ...read more

    Generous With Our Story Series

    A disciple can be generous with our resources, our time and our presence, but the most transformative element of a disciple's life is his/her story. We should be as generous with our story as we are with our money and time.

    Generosity: Possible Generous with Our Story 2 Timothy 1: 1 – 14 It is only natural for us to connect the idea of generosity with money. We automatically think of financial resources when we consider the idea of being generous, but the life of generosity for a disciple of Jesus Christ extends ...read more
