    From the Parable of Jesus, lessons we can learn from the fig tree.

    Lessons from the Fig Tree Luke 13:6-9 * As a primary in Sunday school, my teachers taught me to define a parable in this way: “It is a earthly story told by Jesus which has a heavenly meaning.” I guess the only way I would amend this is to say that it has a “divine” (instead of heavenly) meaning. ...read more

    A message of the soon coming of the LORD for his church, in reference to the parable of the 10 virgins.

    READY? Matthew 25:1-13 - I know some of you found it difficult to fully understand the message last Sunday of the 70 weeks of Daniel - if you don’t grasp anymore than this: understand this prophecy in Daniel tells us clearly that there will come a final 7 year period upon the earth in which God ...read more

    Today’s scripture reading is a parable about belonging and membership in the Kingdom of Heaven.

    “A Thankful Giving” “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius[a] for the day and sent them into his vineyard. 3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the ...read more

    The Loving Father

     | 13,787 views

    Probably the best-known parable Jesus told is the one we call "The Parable of the Prodigal Son." But it has been suggested that the story is more about the loving, forgiving, & waiting father than it is of the prodigal son.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX A. Today is Father’s Day, & as such it is a very special day for most families in our nation. And while fathers may not always be everything that they ought to be, it is interesting to note that when Jesus wanted to ...read more

    There Were Two Brothers

    As we approach this third parable, the Lord seeks to contrast the lost with those who are not. Our tendency is to focus on the younger son in the parable, and to completely miss the elder son. Today, I hope to be the exception to that tendency.

    There Were Two Brothers Luke 15:11-32 INTRODUCTION: This parable is the third of a trilogy of parables. The first parable in the group was that of the shepherd and the lost sheep. This parable told of the shepherd leaving the 99 sheep and searching for the one lost sheep. The truth communicated ...read more

    Pray Without Ceasing

     | 7,960 views

    Luke included the Parable of the Unjust Judge to encourage the people. The parable is about waiting and not losing hope, heart or faith. If we pray earnestly, faithfully and regularly, Jesus will find faith when he does return.

    Have you ever wanted something so much that you kept asking for it time and time again until you finally got what you wanted? If so, you can understand how the widow in the Parable of the Unjust Judge felt. She kept going to the judge until he finally decided to hear her case. In Jesus’ ...read more

    In Matthew 13, Jesus explains why there continues to be evil in our midst and what will happen through the 1) The Presentation of the Parable (Matthew 13:24–30), and 2) The Interpretation of the Parable (Matthew 13:34–43).

    Matthew 13:24-30; 34-43. [24]He put another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, [25]but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.

    Welcoming The Repentant Sinners (September 8, 2013)

     | 1,893 views

    Do we rejoice with God and the angels of heaven every time another sinner repents? In Luke 15 , Jesus tells three parables and all three parables end with a celebration. But, not everyone comes to the celebration.

    Luke 15:1-10 GNB One day when many tax collectors and other outcasts came to listen to Jesus, (2) the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law started grumbling, "This man welcomes outcasts and even eats with them!" (3) So Jesus told them this parable: (4) "Suppose one of you has ...read more

    He was a great king, very passionate, the commander-in-chief, with a heart after God, yet Satan trapped him in the net of sin. God’s king must operate by a different standard tha the world. When David’s conscience was awakened, he expresses a heartfelt desire to be right with God.

    Sermon – “How to get up When Sin Drags You Down” Ps 51:1 (A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.) “Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 ...read more
