    That Sinner!

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on May 22, 2014
     | 3,670 views

    A sermonette (I will use this at rest home services) about a bloke who had it so right with God it really make things quite messy in his relationships with his fellow man. Hey I'm just pleased I'm not like him. ;)

    Jesus had a subtle and sometimes not so subtle way of getting through to people. I like how he delivers a message to a group of people who thought they had it bang on right with God, to a group of people who were confident that they had it right with God. Jesus tells them a story that actually cuts ...read more

    A sermon on unanswered prayer, and a great visual illustration involving a cement block that goes along with the message

    Don't Faint (Props needed for illustration: 8x8x16 cement block, hammer) Lu 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; (KJV) Today I want to talk to you about fainting.

    Mustard Seed Faith

    based on 14 ratings
     | 10,314 views

    Faith is a great force, a power to be reckoned with.

    MUSTARD SEED FAITH. Luke 17:5-10. “Lord, increase our faith” (Luke 17:5). In Luke’s Gospel, this request arises out of one of the hard sayings of Jesus. For flesh and blood to ‘keep on forgiving seven times a day’ (Luke 17:4) seemed quite impossible to the disciples! Jesus’ answer is not to ...read more

    The Neighbourly Kindness Of The Hated Samaritan

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 6, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,644 views

    Jesus sees us in our plight, naked and left for dead by the ravishes of sin in our lives. He picks us up, binds us, anoints us, and takes us to a place of safety.

    THE NEIGHBOURLY KINDNESS OF THE HATED SAMARITAN. Luke 10:25-37. This well-known parable is best understood within the framework of the question-and-answer narrative between “a certain lawyer” (an expert in the Scripture), and Jesus (Luke 10:25). The motives of the would-be student may well be ...read more

    This parable pictures Jesus as a cedar sprout from the top of David’s family tree. He becomes low and dry to save us, but the Lord made him a tall and florishing tree so that we are safe in his branches.

    Only God has made the Tree Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God through which the Holy Spirit guides our hearts and minds today is recorded in Ezekiel 17:22-24 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will take a shoot from the very top of a ...read more

    There are many characters in the parable of the wedding feast. 1. Kingdom no doubt is the church. 2. The King is the God the Father. 3. The Son is none other than Jesus Christ. 4. The marriage is the uniting of Jesus and His church. 5. The servants

    The parable of the Vine and the branches gives us the assurance that however weak and frail we are, God the Trinity can and will produce beautiful fruit in our lives. It is not a question of will power or any kind of self effort. All that is needed is con

    Who Did His Father's Will?

    based on 74 ratings
     | 15,116 views

    Right words never exceed right deeds, though it is always best when words and deeds match one another. Jesus’ parable of the two sons urges us to repent of our empty words and to fill them with obedience.

    Who Did His Father’s Will? Matt 21:28-32 Jesus’ teaching has many places in it where it is difficult to understand what he means. And, then there are those places where his meaning is clear, but the application what he says is tricky – or so we like to think. We have one of those places in the ...read more

    Keep Watch & Be Ready

    based on 14 ratings
     | 19,177 views

    In Jesus’ last sermon before He was betrayed, He stressed the need to keep watch and be ready for His return, emphasizing it with three parables. Are you doing what He expects from you? This ought to be our concern today.

    We’ve just read a portion of Jesus’ last sermon to His disciples before He was betrayed. • It stretches from Chapter 23 to 25, with a large part of it about His second coming. • This is the main theme of His long message. It is understandable, since He is about to leave them. • Jesus needs to tell ...read more

    Lessons For Modern-Day Sowers Of The Word

    based on 15 ratings
     | 10,658 views

    Most messages on this parable discuss it from the standpoint of the four soils. I want to look at it in terms of what it teaches us about doing ministry today. I find at least eight principles that both challenge and encourage us.

    Lessons for Modern-Day Sowers of the Word Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23 The last few days I have been meditating on the famous parable of the seed and the sower. It is obviously important because is found in three different places in the gospels (with Jesus’ explanation in parenthesis): Matthew 13:3-9 ...read more

     | 12,296 views

    When Jesus spoke the parable about old wine in a new wineskin he was speaking about more than an old religious system in His time. More importantly He's got something to say about wineskins today!

    Bunbury Sun am 18/04/10 “The wineskin of your mind” Intro: The remarkable truth of the Word of God is that nothing in the Bible is meaningless. Everything ahs value / speaks to our lives / ministers / convicts / directs / encourages & inspires. As a loving father God is looking to ...read more

    Everything that Superman aspires to be in imaginary tales, Jesus is in reality—and so much more. The story of Superman is really a modern day parable for the story of Jesus Christ. This is the first in a series of youth lessons title: Jesus Is My Superher

    The Smallville of Nazareth Between the child rocketed from the doomed planet Krypton and the symbol of truth and justice Superman is destined to become, lies a vitally important aspect of Superman mythology—Smallville.

    This fun sermon series uses comic-book heroes as modern-day parables, uncovering hidden spiritual messages in the stories of superheroes like Superman, Batman, and Spider-man. Most of these sermons are expository, alliterated and have PowerPoint!
