    Jesus' Answer To Prejudice And Discrimination

    Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019
     | 8,983 views

    In this my adaption of a sermon by Eric Carey-Holt, I have focused on what I believe to have been the Lord’s original intent in His parable of the “Good Samaritan”, addressing the problem of racial discrimination, and socio-economic, gender, and religious prejudice.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, we invite you to visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) One researcher found in a survey that 49% of the people interviewed said they would be able to tell the story of the Good Samaritan if asked to do so, 45% said they ...read more

    The lawyer asks, 'Who is my neighbour?' We should not take 'neighbour' to include everyone! But Jesus' parable warns us against excluding people from the group of people we regard as 'neighbour'.

    3 The Good Samaritan, Part 2 Note: this talk is the continuation of ‘1 The Good Samaritan, Part 1’, which is also available on Sermon Central. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, the expert in the law in the story had two questions. His first question was, ‘What must I do to inherit eternal ...read more

    The Prodigal Son

    Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Sep 10, 2025
     | 215 views

    There are at least three shocks to the 1st century Jews who heard the Parable. 1. That the Father gave the son his inheritance before his death; 2.That the Father ran to embrace the wayward son and 3. The Father simply forgave the Son

    Story: I have to tell you that, in continental Europe, the Swiss are known as being as parsimonious. In fact they make the Scots look generous - apologies to any Scots listening.

    Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, we’ll see that mercy is more than a feeling—it’s compassion in action. God’s mercy meets us new every morning, and we are called to extend that same mercy to others in tangible ways.

    Eyes That See

    Contributed by Lewis Martin on Apr 7, 2025
     | 644 views

    Jesus tells a parable in Luke 16 that pulls back the curtain—revealing what happens when we live with closed eyes and closed hearts. It’s the story of a rich man, a poor beggar named Lazarus, and the eternal consequences of spiritual blindness.

    Sermon: "Eyes That See" (Luke 16:19-31) Scripture Reading (Luke 16:19-31 - NLT): 19 Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury. 20 At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores. 21 As ...read more

    A Father Who Deserved Better

     | 9,727 views

    The father in this parable certainly deserved better than what he received from both his sons. I think we can all agree that our heavenly Father deserves better than what He receives from His children today.

    A FATHER WHO DESERVED BETTER 11 Then He said: "A certain man had two sons. 12 "And the younger of them said to his father, ’Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 "And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed ...read more

    On the surface the Parable of the Good Samaritan appears to be a simple story about being kind. It’s actually much deeper than that. This story is designed to show each of us how sinful and selfish we really are and that our only hope of going to heaven

    Knowing Our Neighbors Luke 10:25-37 Rev. Brian Bill 6/14/09 The story of the Good Samaritan is one of the most well-known parables of Jesus.

    The struggle with today’s passage is that on one hand Jesus is telling us the story of a ‘dishonest’ manager, and on the other hand, he wants us to learn from him. So today we will unfold the hidden treasure of wisdom from this parable and look at what he

    Spiritual growth is a journey requiring patience, faith, and surrender. Jesus' parables remind us that becoming more like Him is a gradual process. This message explores the challenges of spiritual formation and how we can trust Christ to complete His work in us.

    Scripture: Galatians 4:19 - "My little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!" Introduction • Growth often requires patience, care, and persistence. Example: a garden, a dream, or a relationship. Growth requires attention and ...read more

    The Wedding Banquet: Invitation, Ingratitude, And Indiscretion, Part I

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023
     | 1,421 views

    Jesus' parable of the wedding banquet (Matthew 22:1-14) is a call to salvation. There will be many who will make poor excuses and refuse the invitation. There will be those who accept it with gratitude, but some will try to enter in their own way. In which category do you fit?

    Throughout the Scriptures, the call of God to come to Him for salvation, grace, and mercy is prominent. The paradise we lost at our fall into sin is not irreversible nor permanent. He has promised redemption even though we do not deserve it. He promised to make all things new, starting with the ...read more
