    The Good Samaritan

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 28, 2002
    based on 75 ratings
     | 31,408 views

    The parable of the good samaritan gives us more than a contrast between love and indifference. It gives us a contrast between two kinds of religion.

    This morning, we continue our mini-series on the parables of Christ. Parables are stories intended to convey spiritual truth. They’re not historical; they’re not accounts of actual events; they are fictional narratives involving made-up characters. The situations they describe never really ...read more

    Sometimes it’s difficult to go home, but it is essential that we do so.

    Introduction: I want you to imagine for a moment that you have one chance to travel back in time and go back to relive part of your life. And suppose that when you go back, you know everything that you know now. You have all the understanding and the wisdom that you have developed over the years ...read more

     | 8,591 views

    The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. How can we fight the temptation to misuse money?

    I discovered some fascinating statistics the other day. Did you know that out of 38 parables that Jesus told, 16 deal with money in some form or other? If you add up all the times that heaven and hell are mentioned, it comes to fewer times than money is mentioned. The New Testament says 5 times as ...read more
