    The Lord Jesus continues to teach the people through the means of stories, or parables. Each parable presents a description of the coming kingdom and judgment.

    Matthew 13 contains a series of parables that are heard by the crowds, but only a few would take the effort to really hear, understand, and apply what the Lord Jesus was teaching. He has presented stories about good and bad soils that represent how people receive and apply the Word of God to ...read more

    A look at the conditional obedience we often offer God, in comparison with Joseph's complete and costly obedience.
