    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Prodigal Son) # 8

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,591 views

    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

    Parables of Christian Living, Pt. 6

    THE CRY OF MY HEART (LUKE 18:1-8) Prayer is a way of life and inseparable from life for most people.

     | 5,039 views

    The self-righteous religious rulers of Jesus’ day didn’t want much to do with sinners - but that was precisely the point of Jesus coming to earth! They wouldn’t receive sinners, but Jesus would ~ and He did! Will you?

    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. I do not want to crush these desires for these young ladies, but I do not believe there is such a thing as a perfect wedding. That is, you can: • Bring the pros in to conduct the wedding • Spend thousands of dollars on ...read more

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 1, 2022
     | 1,527 views

    As the body of Christ today, sometimes we feel like the 300 at Thermopylae don’t we? It often seems like the darkness is closing in on all sides, particularly in the west. New forms of evil on every side seem to grow and spread like locusts

    “The east was on a collision course with the west in 480 BC. The world watched in awe as the largest army in history poured into Europe. Heading this colossal war machine was Xerxes, the king of Persia. His army numbered almost two million foot soldiers, eighty thousand horsemen, twenty thousand ...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.

    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

    This parable got people listening to Jesus - as always. There was a twist for his hearers, and for us. Will we accept Gods invitation or will we make excuses?

    For the second week in a row the subject of food appears in our Bible reading. Last week we thought about Jesus sending out teams of two into the local towns and places that he was about to go (Luke 10:1). His teams were instructed to accept the hospitality of food and drink and shelter they were ...read more

    Jesus really lays it out: You are going to be a person who invests your treasure for yourself, or you will be rich in God by laying up treasure in heaven. But it is objectively impossible for both.

    Dr. Bradford Reaves CrossWay Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org We come now to our second parable in our study of the parables of Jesus.

    In two parables with the same storyline, Jesus taught us to keep praying and never give up.

    Good morning. As we continue our series on the power of prayer, we are going to look at two of Jesus’ parables on prayer. They are both in Luke, and they are separated by just a few chapters. So please turn to Luke 11, but be ready to flip to Luke 18. There’s a supposedly true story of a country ...read more

    based on 16 ratings
     | 5,838 views

    Jesus’ followers are to submit to His Lordship and do His will. If we are to submit ourselves to the Lord, we must begin with a broken, teachable spirit. That teachable spirit is described for us in the "beautiful words," the Beatitudes"

    The Blessing of Brokeness (Matt. 5:1-6?) Intro 1. We all have our dreaded moments: medical tests, standing on the scale, childbirth, sea-sickness, nursing home…. 2. One of my dreaded moments is beginning right now—preaching through the Sermon on the Mount…. 3. The Sermon on the Mount contains ...read more

    Introduction: A. Let’s begin with a question: How many of you like to garden? 1. Let’s ask a follow-up question: How many of you consider yourselves good gardeners? 2.
