    Grace Beyond Measure

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Sep 24, 2002
    based on 74 ratings
     | 8,734 views

    When Jesus tells us this parable, He is not talking about "work ethics", He is talking about the grace of God and the Kingdom of God.

    GRACE BEYOND MEASURE Text: Matthew 20:1-16 One of the things that shapes our views and values is how things work as far as standards go. One of the standards that we adhere to is what we call the "work ethic". A "work ethic" is anything that promotes quality, effectiveness, character, ...read more

    Riding The Waves Of Life

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 20, 2003

     | 11,795 views

    The stilling of the storm on Galilee is a parable demonstrating that life is a roller-coaster experience but with Jesus in command allis well, requiring us to repond in faith.

    RIDING THE WAVES OF LIFE I once heard a minister use a memorable phrase in his prayer and it stays with me: it was "our short and uncertain earthly life and pilgrimage". Life is uncertain. This is true for the Christian as well, as we don’t live in some magic or charmed circle just because we’re ...read more

    How To Seek And Save The Lost

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Nov 22, 2003
    based on 49 ratings
     | 11,283 views

    Here are some guidelines for how to seek and save the lost as Jesus taught in the three parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son.

    How to Seek and Save the Lost (Luke 15:1-32) Too many Christians fail to remember that it was said of Jesus, "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save those who are lost." (Luke 19:10) If we want to be like Jesus then we have to share the same purpose, passion and plan of the one who went ...read more

    Jesus invites us to rethink how we evaluate human worth with a parable about a successful man whom God regarded as a fool.

    Text: Luke 12:15-21 Introduction This passage of Scripture is troubling. It may not strike us as troubling on the surface. Indeed we are likely to say the obligatory “Amen” on reading or hearing this passage read in worship. (Remember Amen means “so let it be” or “I agree, I concur, I ...read more

     | 4,012 views

    After giving the interpretation of the parable of the sower Jesus speaks a few words to the future sowers. They are instructions to the disciples and us about the dissemination of the Gospel.

    A Word to Sowers The Book of Mark Mark 4:21-25 I. Introduction. A. Those of us who are believers have a responsibility given to us by the Lord. B. We have a purpose and that purpose is stated very clearly in Matt.28:19-20 and in Acts 1:8. 1. This is the great commission given by Jesus just before ...read more

     | 26,090 views

    Because the Christian is unsupervised, irresponsibility is a great possibility. Jesus tells us this parable so we will be encouraged to faithfulness & warned against unfaithfulness.

    LUKE 12: 41-48. [PARABLES IN LUKE] RESPONSIBLITY / RESPONSIBLE SERVANTS [John 21:15-17; 1 Peter 5:2-3] Last week we learn that Jesus’ disciples are to be alert, expecting His return. Not only are we to be watching and waiting for Jesus, we are to be working for Jesus. So here Jesus ...read more

    Sixteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A; 16th Sunday , Year A-- Weeds And Wheat

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 21, 2020
     | 4,424 views

    This parable doesn’t mean that we tolerate all sorts of bad behavior. Jesus doesn’t condone weed (pun intended).

    If we ask, "why is there evil in the world?" we must also ask "why is there good in the world?" We get our answers this Sunday: Beginning with pre-history “while everybody was asleep” (Matthew 13:24-30), the weeds represent the enemies of God, who are: Satan, demons, and humans ...read more

     | 129 views

    In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus uses the Parable of the Good Samaritan to illustrate the boundless, all encompassing love and compassion required to inherit eternal life.

    Introduction and Context: • The Exchange Between Jesus and the Lawyer (Luke 10:25-29): o A lawyer tests Jesus, asking, “What shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (v. 25). o Jesus responds with a question, appealing to the Law. The lawyer recites the two great commandments (v. 27). o Seeking to ...read more
