Now, That Makes No Sense At All!

Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 11, 2019

It makes no sense to be part of the same family and be mad when the father chooses to do for one what he hasn’t chosen to do for the other. Yet, this is precisely what happened in the parable Jesus told of two sons, either of whom were prodigal.

“Jesus said, ‘There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, “Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.” And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and ...read more

God's Servant, The Justice-Bringer (Isaiah 42:1-9) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 28, 2024

God commissions and empowers his servant to produce "justice" for the nations. "Justice" here= "God's desired way of life." It's done, through gentle, careful teaching. The servant is Israel, Jesus, and the church.

Listen, To Receive God's Best (Isaiah 48:1-22) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 5, 2024

It requires an openness to unpleasant possibilities-- the possibility that you're wrong, that you don't know everything, that someone else knows more ...read more
