    The Purpose Of The Parables

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 26, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,835 views

    Jesus Himself suggests a different reason to that which His disciples might have expected.

    THE PURPOSE OF THE PARABLES. Matthew 13:10-17; Matthew 13:34-35. It is possible to ‘Like’ Jesus without really ever knowing what He is all about. For some, He is a wonderful teacher, making ‘it’ all so much ‘easier’: yet what is ‘easy’ about, for example, Matthew 5:21-22 or Matthew 5:27-28? ...read more

    Faithfullness in serving the Lord brings about its own rewards.

    The Parable of the Talents Matthew 25:14-18: Parables can be as exciting and challenging as detective stories.

    A Parable Of Chutzpah

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 3, 2015
     | 3,700 views

    We need to approach prayer with a sense of bold, unhesitating urgency--with chutzpah. We have no worries--unlike the grumpy, groggy neighbor, God never slumbers and is always happy to hear from us.

    Jesus gave His disciples the Model Prayer, and followed with a story about someone in need of “daily bread,” a parable that conveys the attitude our prayers should have—we should approach God an unhesitating sense of urgency. The story was a common situation for our Lord’s ...read more

    The Parable Of The Sower

     | 6,230 views

    A somewhat different take of the Parable of the Sower, or should I say The Parable of the seed.

    The Parable of the Sower Matthew 13:1-23 It is always a good idea to read Scripture in its own context because it helps us to rightly interpret the current passage. This parable begins with the words “In the same day”. The first thing we need to zero in is why Matthew mentions that it was the same ...read more

    The focus is humility in prayer out of a realization that righteousness can not be reached by means of our own efforts. Prayers are heard & answered because of God's mercy not because of our self-justifying merits.

    LUKE 18: 9-14 [PARABLES IN LUKE] THE PARABLE OF THE PRAYERS [Luke 11:39-11;54] In this section Jesus tells a story of a Pharisee and a tax collector. Both were sincere and devout. As a matter of fact, one kept the law scrupulously, or thought he did. The other was in a profession in which ...read more

    We can learn a lot about teh nature of God's kingdom by understanding the power of yeast (Leaven).

    Parable of the Yeast We are in a series looking at some of the stories Jesus told. If we are Christians these stories matter because we are supposed to live a life like Jesus. His priorities should be ours. He is our Template, our Mentor, and our Example. If you are not a follower of Jesus, ...read more

    Jesus teaches that the purpose of his parables is to reveal or conceal truth.

    Scripture We are studying the life and ministry of Jesus as it has been recorded in The Gospel of Luke. Two main features characterized Jesus’ ministry: teaching and miracles. We have already examined a number of examples of each. Jesus used illustrations masterfully in his teaching. His ...read more

    A study of the responses of the different soils to the seed illustrates different responses to the word of God.

    Part two of the series where we look at the soils that God's Word ministers too. We quickly see that the Word of God is powerful enough to minister to any soil given that God has prepared it to be seeded by the Word of God.

    Let’s look at the different heart conditions mentioned in this parable. I. A Hard Heart. (Uninterested Heart) Verse 4: “And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.” Fields in Israel were small and were separated from one another by paths that became like ...read more

    An injured thumb led to this unique sermon on the importance of staying connected to God

    The Parable of the Thumb John 15:1-10 Jesus was a great communicator, in fact He was THE great communicator. His teaching held people on the edge of their seats.
