He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Unjust Judge And The Persistent Widow

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

Jesus often taught in parables. Among his many listeners, some folks understood their meaning and some folks didn't.

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.

"measured With Our Own Bushel"

Contributed by David Nolte on Jul 17, 2021

The measure by which we pour into the lives of others will be used by God to pour into us.

Truth In Shepherding

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 28, 2023

If we follow the true shepherd, its better to be a sheep in God’s pasture than anything else in the world.

Just about everybody knows, I think, that one of the reasons God so often calls his people sheep and himself the shepherd is because sheep are so stupid. What I don’t think people realize is that sheep were also incredibly valuable. Sheep were one of Israel’s most important economic resources. A ...read more
