    In our passage today we look at three parables of Jesus, and each parable contains a paradox about God’s Kingdom.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Jack Wyrtzen used lots of stories in his preaching. One day someone was talking with one of the Word of Life staff members and said, “I heard Jack preach one of his “skyscraper messages” the other night.” The staff member asked what he meant by a “skyscraper message” ...read more

God has arrived on the scene, to establish his rule, take back what is his. If that is so, then I have some questions: 1. Why are ...read more

    If you were being arrested for soulwinning, would there be enough evidence to convict you? Our Lord emphasized the importance and art of soulwinning. Let’s examine it together!

     | 12,973 views

    The three parables are examined in detail. These parables are eschatological in nature. These parables are written to give us reassurance in our faith right now and also to give us insight concerning the nature of the coming of the kingdom of God.

    Today in our Scripture Jesus teaches us three short parables which all tie together to form a fuller understanding of who God is and how he operates in our lives. You’ll notice as we read the Scripture today there are some verses that are quite difficult to understand and on a first reading we may ...read more
