    Wrath Upon A Fig Tree Series

    Contributed by Jason Jones on Jun 4, 2025
     | 406 views

    This morning we will look at a living parable with two meanings for us.

    Background to passage, Matthew 21:18-19: Last week of Jesus’s life. Major confrontation with the religious establishment. Two demonstrations of his messiahship publicly, and now one with the disciples even more pointed than the first two. With this prophetic parable, Jesus completes his claim as ...read more

    A reflection on pride and humility based on the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

    I love Bible stories, and I believe many of us who grew up in the faith find them to be a beautiful source of teachings that still resonate with us today. Stories like David and Goliath, Elijah, Joseph, Moses leading the Israelites in the desert, and Noah's ark have been a constant companion in our ...read more

    A look at the three figures in one of Jesus’ most famous parables

    One of my greatest delights in the church where I last served in Minnesota was to be part of a group of men who met faithfully every Wednesday morning for prayer, followed each week by coffee and conversation. Both the prayer and the conversation could be pretty free ranging at times. But I have to ...read more

    God delights in using small things for great purposes. How the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast apply to our lives.

    INTRODUCTION Matthew 13 contains seven parables Jesus gives about the Kingdom of heaven. Most of His stories are based on agriculture, because all the people living in Galilee understood gardening. If you’re a gardener, these parables make more sense to you than to the non-gardeners. Let me ...read more

    Jesus told one parable in particular that talked to everyone about their lives, a whole life. I find the parable fascinating because it’s very real to us today.

    Jesus told one parable in particular that talked to everyone about their lives, a whole life. I find the parable fascinating because it’s very real to us today.

    When The Kingdom Seems Unimpressive Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 19, 2025
     | 220 views

    The parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the yeast point us to a truth that's uncomfortable at first: the Kingdom might not look that impressive the first time you look at it.

    UNIMPRESSIVE: Jesus acknowledges that many will initially see the Kingdom as insignificantly small. - Luke 13:18-21. - Matthew 13:31-33; Mark 4:30-32. - I guess you could say that sometimes we hype up Jesus and His Kingdom too much. - “Who wouldn’t want this?” - “It’s so obviously true and ...read more

    Hoarder Or Steward? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,942 views

    This parable illustrates the deceitfulness of guarded wealth. It is a stewardship parable, in the fact that it addresses the issue of our use of resources, both monetary and spiritual. The lesson we will learn is “use it, or lose it.”

    This morning’s message is entitled “Hoarder or Steward?” O. S. Hawkins, who is with GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention, asks, “At the end of your life will you be considered a hoarder or a steward?”(1) We’re going to look at a parable this morning; one which is ...read more

    Host Or Guest? Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Apr 12, 2022
     | 2,148 views

    This parable revolves around three categories of people, the host, the servants, and the Guests. Invited guests neglected and paid no attention to it. This parable conveys the divine call, divine clemency, and divine condemnation.

    Text: Matthew 22:1-14 Theme: Host or Guest? Greetings: The Lord is good. ‘Many are invited but few are chosen.’ (Matthew 22:14). Synopsis of the Parable: The word parable comes from the Greek word ‘parabole,’ which means “a placing beside”. It has a real-life or real-life situation from which ...read more

    Today, in the society in which we live, we have many valuable things, so:

    • We have safes in our homes to store such things as valuable Jewelry, and rare coins, etc. • We have banks to store our money in But back during the days when this parable was being taught by the Lord Jesus, people did not have these things. Most of the time when people wanted to store something ...read more

    The Reward Of Faithfulness

    The parable of the talents has more importance than we often understand. We used this sermon as a way of introducing gift centered ministries.

    OPEN: We use numbers all the time without knowing their significance or their meaning. For example: How many feet in a mile (5280 feet). Do you know why? The term mile come from the Latin word "mille" - meaning 1000. To the Romans it was the distance a soldier could cover in 1000 paces - about ...read more

    A man travels from Jerusalem to Jericho, a distance of about 20 miles and is beaten up. -Luke 10: 30 it is a dangerous road and is known as "The Way of Blood"

    THE GOOD SAMARITAN—Luke 10:25-37 INTRODUCTION The Good Samaritan’ is one of the better-known parables, (Luke 10:30-37) In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers.

    The Canaanite woman is an example of those who are lost in the house; Jesus called her “the lost sheep of the house of Israel”.

    SERMON TITLE LOST IN THE HOUSE Matthew 15:21-28 21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed ...read more

    Thanksgiving - Rejoicing With Those Who Rejoice

     | 22,957 views

    I’m convinced that one of the most difficult things that the Scripture asks us to do is found in Romans 12:15. That verse says, “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.”

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2014) ILL. It’s Thanksgiving Day & the aroma of roast turkey fills Charlie Brown’s house.

    The lesson from these parables is that Jesus DOES give up on some people, and that only seeing it in this way is there any good news. If you think the message of these stories is that God never gives up on anyone, I suggest you have gotten it backwards.
