    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Two Builders) # 6

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 15, 2022
     | 2,233 views

    Often, on the national television news, we see a report that deals with some hurricane or tornado that struck a certain region in the United States.

    They show us miles and miles of homes that have been scattered like trash from a trash can that has been turned over, and the wind is blowing the trash everywhere. When these storms strike, the first buildings that are destroyed are those that were built by contractors who were bad builders. ...read more

    Today, I want to examine two of the Parables that the Lord taught. First, let’s read about “The Parable of the Mustard Seed.”

    In Matthew 13:31-32, we read, “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so ...read more

    This is a fascinating parable the Lord used in teaching something He wanted men to know about the kingdom of heaven.

    Many of the things we hear about the kingdom of heaven today are not the truth. For example, many ministers today, if they do not come out and preach it, they imply that if you live a good moral life and attend church frequently, when you die you will go to heaven. But the fact is, the Bible ...read more

    Parables: One of Christ’s most popular forms of teaching.

    A. WHAT IS A PARABLE? 1. A parable is a story. a. Actions that lead to a conclusion. b. Actors who are people. c. Narrative or interaction. 2. That is true to life.
