    What Is A Parable? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Mar 8, 2020
     | 3,576 views

    To be able to understand the parables of the kingdom, we must first know what is a parable?

    1. The word “parable” comes from the Greek word “paraballo”, which means “to throw alongside” and “to reach a place.” 2. The dictionary definition, “an allegorical representation of something from real life, from which a moral is drawn for instruction,” does not quite explain the purpose of Jesus’ ...read more

    Why is it so important to understand the Parable of the Sower?

    1. Jesus indicates that if you do not understand the parable of the sower, you will not have the foundation upon which to build your understanding of other parables. 2.

    The Purpose Of The Parables

     | 2,910 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

     | 4,893 views

    God catches all kinds of people---people from all walks of life. God is not willing for anyone to perish (II Pet. 3:9) which is why God gives us the free gift of His grace. God chooses us but not everyone chooses to have a relationship with God. God also wants us to choose Him.

    THE PARABLE OF THE NET Text: Matthew 13:47 - 50 Have any of you ever auditioned for a role or a part in a school play? How about applying for a job? How many of you have tried out for a sport, hoping that you would make the team? For those of you who auditioned for a ...read more

    Jesus uses parables to either reveal callous hearts where the word is being taken away, or reveal receptive hearts which have an increasing harvest.

    Message Matthew 13:10-17 “The Purpose of the Parables” Today we are starting a series of sermons which will look at the Parables of Jesus. “Parable” is the English translation of a Greek word which literally means “to place alongside”. From this literal meaning we get the idea that a parable is a ...read more

    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

    A Parable Of Chutzpah

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 3, 2015
     | 3,770 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

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

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

    Scripture As Jesus was coming to the end of his Galilean ministry, which some say lasted about 16 months, he drew vast audiences to his ministry. He also experienced growing opposition to his message about the good news of the kingdom of God. Although he had previously illustrated his preaching ...read more

    The Parable Of The Prayers Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 10, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 29,121 views

    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
