Introduction: There is an old saying that we sometime quote as true, but we need to be careful quoting it, because it only contains part of the truth.
The quote is, "You can always tell a man by the company he keeps." Can you? Always? No, this is not always the truth. For example, Jesus kept company with many that society had rejected. (1) HE KEPT COMPANY WITH LEPERS Now in first-century Palestine, lepers were viewed with horror ...read more

This parable is different from most parables because it conveys to us a number of vivid contrasts, such as:
• Riches and Poverty • Heaven and Hell • Compassion and Indifference • Inclusion and Exclusion As we teach this parable, I need to mention that there are some who refuse to teach Luke 16:19-31 as a parable.

In weddings today, you can depend on something going wrong almost every time!
Every young girl has this deep wonderful desire to have the perfect wedding.

Scripture: Matthew 25:1-13
Jesus often taught in parables. Among his many listeners, some folks understood their meaning and some folks didn't.
And that is still true today, because we all tend to hear what we want to hear. The Lord used these parables to convey a truth to the listeners then, and to His listeners now, by taking a physical situation to teach a spiritual truth. Luke 18:1-8 is a parable about prayer. This is made clear ...read more

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.

Again, I would like to remind you that parables were one of the favorite tools the Lord used in teaching spiritual truths.
The Lord would take something physical that they all were familiar with, and use it to teach them a valuable spiritual lesson. This method of teaching is referred to as parables. And the Bible said that He taught them many parables. For example, in our scripture today, He used the parable of “The ...read more
