    The Unjust Steward Series

    Contributed by Ian Lyall on Sep 28, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,040 views

    Many people struggle with this well-known parable. Jesus seems to condone rather selfish, shady money-dealing. Actually the Gospel of forgiveness lies at its heart: are we ready to forgive?

    I don’t know about you, but I do have certainly difficulties with this parable. I’ve always tended to skirt around them, I must admit. But with this text in front of me for this morning I was forced to think about it more seriously. And I find that many of the problems are actually only on the ...read more

    We have previously pointed out that it is important to carefully note the manner and method in which these seven parables are arranged, for their order provides key to their interpretation.

    We have previously pointed out that it is important to carefully note the manner and method in which these seven parables are arranged, for their order provides key to their interpretation. The first parable is different than the other six. The phrase “the kingdom of heaven” is missing from the ...read more

    Jesus teaches us about money/stewardship. A great formula for being a good steward is to: 1. Gain all we can 2. Save all we can 3. Invest in the lives of others all that we can (Adapted from John Wesley's Sermon on Money)

    Nineteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C - Parable Of The Supervising Servant

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 8, 2025
     | 264 views

    Jesus is coming for you when he is ready, not when you get ready.

    Our Gospel parable today of the Supervising Servant tells us that everybody has a day when we will be judged immediately after death, but the day and time is unspecified, and so Jesus is giving a series of admonitions saying to be prepared and vigilant. Jesus probably delivered the parable as a ...read more

    The Good Samaritan Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 6, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,253 views

    The main purpose of this parable is to get us to ask a question. Do we have this unique Jesus-character of pity and compassion? A Jesus-character that is at the heart of being a neighbour.

    Message Luke 10:25-37 The Good Samaritan Today we are going to look at a parable which – probably – is the most well-known of all of Jesus parables. Why do I say this? Well in Clarence Town, which is the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, there is an organisation which rescues donkeys from ill ...read more

    This parable is clearly about prayer but exactly what is Jesus teaching us about prayer. Because of interpretative translations, it may not be what you think.

    The Parables of Jesus My BFF @ Midnight Luke 11:1-13 August 2, 2009 This parable is clearly a parable about prayer. Luke has positioned it after Jesus teaches “The Lord’s Prayer,” and has included the saying about prayer that uses the “ask, seek, and knock,” which Matthew has as part of the Sermon ...read more

    based on 65 ratings
     | 20,915 views

    Why does Jesus tell us that each servant received only one mina? (as opposed to the parable of the talents). And what does this parable tell us about our role as stewards of God’s gift?

    OPEN: A famous preacher once delivered a powerful sermon on the subject of “God’s Ownership” and – since it spoke of the things we have belonging to God - this made a certain rich member of the church a little upset. The wealthy man took the preacher to his home for lunch, and then walked him ...read more

     | 5,681 views

    What Jesus reveals about the future through this parable ought to change the way you walk through this life.

    In his Parable of the Talents, Jesus gives us a glimpse of the future, a glimpse at what will happen on the last day of world history and the first day of eternity. This glimpse at the first day of eternity is significant because most of the world – and many Believers too – have lost their eternal ...read more
