    The Parable Of The Prayers Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 10, 2014

     | 27,158 views

    The focus is humility in prayer out of a realization that righteousness can not be reached by means of our own efforts. Prayers are heard & answered because of God's mercy not because of our self-justifying merits.

    LUKE 18: 9-14 [PARABLES IN LUKE] THE PARABLE OF THE PRAYERS [Luke 11:39-11;54] In this section Jesus tells a story of a Pharisee and a tax collector. Both were sincere and devout. As a matter of fact, one kept the law scrupulously, or thought he did. The other was in a profession in which ...read more

    Parable Of The Sower

     | 11,521 views

    We may all be dirt, brought out of the dust of the ground, but we have a choice of what kind of dirt we are going to be -- Path dirt? Rocky dirt? Thorny dirt? or Good dirt? We are defined by the way we respond to the Word of God!

    A few observations from the passage: 1. All the different kinds of soil received the Word of God. This is a message about people who have received the Word. 2. A complete lack of fruitfulness from all, except one. Among the people in the church, there is no fruit, except in a small group of ...read more

    A study of the responses of the different soils to the seed illustrates different responses to the word of God.

    Scripture As Jesus was coming to the end of his Galilean ministry, which some say lasted about 16 months, he drew vast audiences to his ministry. He also experienced growing opposition to his message about the good news of the kingdom of God. Although he had previously illustrated his preaching ...read more

    A somewhat different take of the Parable of the Sower, or should I say The Parable of the seed.

    The Parable of the Sower Matthew 13:1-23 It is always a good idea to read Scripture in its own context because it helps us to rightly interpret the current passage. This parable begins with the words “In the same day”. The first thing we need to zero in is why Matthew mentions that it was the same ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,505 views

    This is a sermon about dong more for God with what we have. No one is excused from working for God. This message is a challenge for Christians to do more and learning that they have been given the abilities, resources, gifts etc to do so.

    The Parable of the Mina Introduction: Ill. Once a man said, “If I had some extra money, I'd give it to God, but I have just enough to support myself and my family.” And the same man said, “If I had some extra time, I'd give it to God, but every minute is taken up with my job, ...read more

    A Parable Of Chutzpah

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 3, 2015
     | 3,401 views

    We need to approach prayer with a sense of bold, unhesitating urgency--with chutzpah. We have no worries--unlike the grumpy, groggy neighbor, God never slumbers and is always happy to hear from us.

    Jesus gave His disciples the Model Prayer, and followed with a story about someone in need of “daily bread,” a parable that conveys the attitude our prayers should have—we should approach God an unhesitating sense of urgency. The story was a common situation for our Lord’s ...read more

    Each servant was motivated to serve in their own way because of their perception of their master and was rewarded accordingly. What can we learn about our relationship with God from this parable?

    This sermon was preached by our Family Minister, Scott Jewell, as a part of our Youth Sunday. It was preceded by a series of short skits that portrayed a modernized version of the Parable of Talents. The compiled video of the skits can be found at the following link: ...read more

    The Purpose Of The Parables

     | 2,608 views

    Jesus Himself suggests a different reason to that which His disciples might have expected.

    THE PURPOSE OF THE PARABLES. Matthew 13:10-17; Matthew 13:34-35. It is possible to ‘Like’ Jesus without really ever knowing what He is all about. For some, He is a wonderful teacher, making ‘it’ all so much ‘easier’: yet what is ‘easy’ about, for example, Matthew 5:21-22 or Matthew 5:27-28? ...read more

    What Is A Parable? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Mar 8, 2020
     | 2,900 views

    To be able to understand the parables of the kingdom, we must first know what is a parable?

    1. The word “parable” comes from the Greek word “paraballo”, which means “to throw alongside” and “to reach a place.” 2. The dictionary definition, “an allegorical representation of something from real life, from which a moral is drawn for instruction,” does not quite explain the purpose of Jesus’ ...read more

    Why is it so important to understand the Parable of the Sower?

    1. Jesus indicates that if you do not understand the parable of the sower, you will not have the foundation upon which to build your understanding of other parables. 2. The parable of the sower contains four basic elements that are essential to understanding the kingdom of God: A. Sowing – ...read more

    Parable Of The Sower

    Contributed by Paul Davidson on Jan 26, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,850 views

    I remember sitting, my face wet with tears, as I prayed for God to rescue me and change the soil of my heart into rich, fertile soil. I was tired of just pretending to be a Christian. I no longer wanted to be the person I had become. I surrendered my life to Jesus... and I was forever changed!

    INTRODUCTION God has put a message on my heart to share with you from the Gospel of Matthew. This message is actually very special to me personally. It was April of 1993 when I heard someone preach on the “Parable of the Sower” from Matthew 13. We had just survived a very serious car ...read more
