    Riding The Waves Of Life

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 20, 2003
    based on 51 ratings
     | 11,670 views

    The stilling of the storm on Galilee is a parable demonstrating that life is a roller-coaster experience but with Jesus in command allis well, requiring us to repond in faith.

    RIDING THE WAVES OF LIFE I once heard a minister use a memorable phrase in his prayer and it stays with me: it was "our short and uncertain earthly life and pilgrimage". Life is uncertain. This is true for the Christian as well, as we don’t live in some magic or charmed circle just because we’re ...read more

The book “The Power Of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale was required reading when I was a student at Trinity College. There are all kinds of “helps” out there to help us maintain a ...read more

    Jesus invites us to rethink how we evaluate human worth with a parable about a successful man whom God regarded as a fool.

    Text: Luke 12:15-21 Introduction This passage of Scripture is troubling. It may not strike us as troubling on the surface. Indeed we are likely to say the obligatory “Amen” on reading or hearing this passage read in worship. (Remember Amen means “so let it be” or “I agree, I concur, I ...read more

    When Jesus tells us this parable, He is not talking about "work ethics", He is talking about the grace of God and the Kingdom of God.

    GRACE BEYOND MEASURE Text: Matthew 20:1-16 One of the things that shapes our views and values is how things work as far as standards go. One of the standards that we adhere to is what we call the "work ethic". A "work ethic" is anything that promotes quality, effectiveness, character, ...read more

    Here are some guidelines for how to seek and save the lost as Jesus taught in the three parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son.

    How to Seek and Save the Lost (Luke 15:1-32) Too many Christians fail to remember that it was said of Jesus, "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save those who are lost."

    There may be those in the church that we see as nominal Christians or hypocrits. How do we deal with these people. Jesus tells us in this parable.

    Jesus’ parable of the Wedding shows God’s judgment on those who refuse his invitation, and his grace on those who do.
