     | 1,610 views

    Jesus uses 3 parables to tell what God's character is like. It is "grace". Some history of the culture from Ken Bailey is included. To the Pharisees “You think you know God, but you do not." Jesus is the God of Ezekiel 34.

    When searching for a lost coin (lost person) the Lord gets to work! He lights a lamp and sweeps the house, like using a fine-tooth comb. The lost coin is like a jewel in a wedding headdress. We are to Jesus as a crown jewel!

    I wish to begin our message by first reading through tonight’s parable, and then we’ll take a closer look after I share a brief introduction. Let’s all stand at this time in honor of the reading of God’s Word: 8 What woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, ...read more

    The Return Of The Prodigal

     | 2,434 views

    The fifteenth chapter of Luke gives us a wealth of information about a certain Jewish family.

    For example, we know from this scripture: • “A certain man had two sons.” (v. 11) • The younger son seemed to be a problem child. Look at verse 12. We read, “And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me...” • -The younger son was ...read more

    This parable is special, because it tells us a great deal about God the Father’s great love for mankind.

    Now we mortals love certain people, but if there are things in their life that we do not like, we generally brush them aside. We all can be thankful indeed that God the Father loves everyone, He even loves the most ungodly sinner on the face of the earth. He does not love their evil deeds, but He ...read more

    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

    The Parables Of Jesus: The Lost Sheep & The Lost Coin Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 15, 2022
     | 2,589 views

    Time and again in the New Testament we see Jesus sharing parables and stories related to shepherds and sheep. It’s very very common. From psalm 23, talking about the rod and staff of the shepherd, to Jesus calling himself “the gate for the sheep” it’s throughout the scriptures.

    “Dr. Andrew Bonar told me how, in the Highlands of Scotland, a sheep would often wander off into the rocks and get into places that they couldn't get out of. The grass on these mountains is very sweet and the sheep like it, and they will jump down ten or twelve feet, and then they can't ...read more

    “Well over three hundred verses are concerned with the subject of Jesus' resurrection in the New Testament. We are told that this event is a sign for unbelievers (Matthew 12:38-40); cf. John 20:24-29) as well as the answer for the believer's doubt (Luke 24:38-43). It serves as the guarantee ...read more
