    The Parable Of The Rich Man Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 16, 2025
     | 473 views

    This is a Bible study lesson, not a sermon. The Bible studies teach foundational truth that are designed to challenge, encourage and, most importantly, flame the fire of hunger in the Christian who wants to learn more about who they have become in Christ Jesus.

    The Parable of the Rich Man (Rev. Barry Johnson and Rev. Rodney Johnson) NOTE: New Light Faith Ministries and Barry Johnson Ministries, founded by Rodney V. Johnson and Barry O. Johnson, respectively, are partnering to offer Bible studies for Christians who are seeking to grow in their ...read more

    In Proverbs 8:17-21, in order to find The Way of Wisdom, in three ways we must 1) Pursue Purposefully (Proverbs 8:17-18), 2) Prioritize Priceless Treasures (Proverbs 8:19) and 3) Pledge to Walk Righteously (Proverbs 8:20-21).

    Proverbs 8:17-21. 17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. 18 Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness. 19 My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. 20 I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of ...read more

    Every husband is in the ministry of marriage.

    Second only to our relationship with God, marriage is the single most important relationship that we will ever have.

    God places us where we are for a purpose, offering courage and guidance in uncertain times when we seek Him with prayerful trust and obedience.

    Good morning, friends. I’m glad you’re here. Some of us arrive today with a quiet ache, some with a smile that’s doing its best to hold steady, and some with a burden that feels bigger than our own strength. You are seen. You are welcome. And you are not alone. Have you ever felt cornered by a ...read more

     | 250 views

    God’s unfailing mercy meets us in our pain, inviting us to honest prayer, renewed hope, and quiet trust even in our hardest seasons.

    Some days the weight shows up before the sun does. You wake with a knot in your stomach, a sigh on your lips, and questions that outnumber the quiet moments. You stand at the sink, stare at your reflection, and wonder, Is this ever going to change? Am I going to make it through this? If that’s you ...read more

    Trusting God with our money reveals our true priorities; faithful stewardship transforms wealth into eternal impact and frees us from serving money as a master.

    Friends, welcome. Pull up a chair. In a world where prices climb and schedules squeeze, our hearts can feel thin. We carry questions into church tucked beneath our smiles. Will the paycheck stretch? Will the college fund be enough? Will retirement come with peace or pressure? Money talks, doesn’t ...read more

    God’s grace offers healing and new life to discouraged, sinful hearts—not by our efforts, but by looking in faith to Christ, our only remedy.

    Some of us walked in today with sand in our souls. The week felt long, the road uneven. You’ve prayed, but the words sounded thin. You’ve tried to keep a sunny outlook, but the clouds rolled in anyway. Discouragement can be a quiet snake in the grass—one nip of cynicism, a bite of bitterness, and ...read more

     | 117 views

    God invites us to surrender our old ways, receive a new heart, and experience true transformation through His Spirit and renewing our minds.

    Some mornings feel like reruns. Same burdens. Same battles. Same buttons being pushed by the same people. You wake up with good intentions, yet old habits hang on like heavy coats in summer. You want to change. You’ve promised to change. You’ve tried to change. Still, the mirror shows yesterday’s ...read more

     | 104 views

    God invites us to move beyond cynicism, trust His surprising work, and expect transformation when we honestly bring our doubts and hopes to Jesus in prayer.

    Some of us carry a quiet weariness. We scroll headlines, hear hard news, and think, “Here we go again.” Cynicism creeps in like a cold draft. We start to shrink our hopes, trim our prayers, and settle for safe, small expectations. We wonder if real change is possible. We wonder if God still ...read more

    Trusting Jesus, not our own strength, enables us to persevere through life’s burdens, as He carries us and completes our faith journey.

    Friend, if your shoulders feel a bit slumped today, if your breath is a bit short and your steps a bit slow, you’re in the right place. You’re in a sanctuary where God knows how tired feet feel and how heavy hearts carry what no one else sees. You’re seen, you’re loved, and you’re not forgotten. ...read more

     | 94 views

    True satisfaction and joyful obedience are found only in knowing God and delighting in His presence, rather than seeking fulfillment in the world’s empty offerings.

    If we could sit together around a kitchen table, you’d notice the warmth of the oven and the smell of fresh bread. Plates set, cups full, chairs pulled close. That’s the picture in my mind when I think of what God offers His people: a table where the hungry are welcomed, where the thirsty are ...read more

    Friends, grace to you. Set your heart at ease for a moment. Take a breath. You are seen by the God who knows every heartbeat and still calls you by name. There are days when our hands look clean, yet our hearts feel cluttered—weighted by worries, hurried choices, and half-kept promises. We all know ...read more
