    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2020
     | 2,699 views

    It is the intuitive mind alone that can penetrate the essence and heart of a parable. Then it becomes a living reality, thoroughly relevant to one’s own life.

As Rabbi Ibn Ezra said of parables, ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 9, 2021
     | 1,344 views

    By the apostles leaving all of that, we can see that Jesus relativized all of the central institutions of his society.

    The rich young ruler is not boasting; he is just speaking as a devout Jew. Not all Christians are called to literally give away their possessions, but all disciples are called to give up everything by way of detachment; that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Spiritual poverty means to ...read more

     | 997 views

    Of the ten healed, only one came back and gave thanks to Jesus. A Samaritan, who had imperfect faith and belief.

    “Where are the other nine?” Jesus asks. I read that nine out of ten husbands agreed that their wives are always right. The tenth one hasn’t been seen since the study was conducted. Luke 17:11 says that Jesus “traveled through Samaria and Galilee.” Jesus grew up in Nazareth, which was around ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 20, 2025
     | 532 views

    Jesus is asking us today not so much as “how can I find a gracious God? But “How can I find God in my enemy?” And, how can we be children of God in real life without loving our enemies?

    The fictional Klingon language from Star Trek has no words for love. Of course, the Klingons were creatures of pure logic, not emotion. So, the closest words for “love” in their language were “honor” or “unhate.” That would be easy for us if we could define love simply as “unhating” others. ...read more

    “You got it bad and that ain’t good. But there is a doctor in the house and his name is Jesus."

    Robert Coles, a Pulitzer Prize winner who taught at Harvard, believes that “the characters in novels can be persistent voices reminding us of the constant temptation toward egotism, and self-deception to which the mind is heir,’ and exhorting us to live lives that are morally inspired.”1 For ...read more

     | 5,931 views

    The confusion and despair of the disciples on the day of the resurrection turns into joy because Jesus the King explains the Scriptures to the companions on the road to Emmaus.

    Message Luke 24:13-35 Our King Jesus Interprets Scripture The day of the resurrection must have been a very confusing day for many. The Passover festival has finished and so has the Sabbath. It is time to go home. That is what thousands of people did on the Resurrection Sunday. We might kind of ...read more

    Jude gets very descriptive of these false teachers and in verse 12 there are 7 descriptions of these perverse people who sink church fellowships; cause destruction; bring chaos into the church, and corrupt the morals, and the working and the effectiveness of the functioning church.

  • Free Lunch!

    Contributed by Val Black on Nov 25, 2019
     | 3,392 views

    There are always claims of a "Free Lunch" but none of them prove to be true, with one exception. It's a real meal and it really is free.

    (This is a sermonette and/or illustration, that was taken from one of our Gospel tracts. It could be considered tongue-in-cheek. It simply explains the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and how to qualify to participate in it.) Someone once said there is no such thing as a “free lunch.” There are ...read more
