    Rian Adams: Sermon on the parable of the lost son, Lent 4, Year C. The sermon looks at family dysfunction.

    ?The Parable of the Dysfunctional Family The Rev. Rian Adams The father in this parable makes me uncomfortable. Some of his ways even bother me.

    Jesus gave this parable to His disciples after the rich young ruler had come running to Jesus but had walked away. Look for the "go thy way" in the text--it may surprise you!

    Introduction: Just after the rich young ruler came running to Jesus, and walked away, Jesus gave this parable about workers in a vineyard. This was one of the last parables Jesus ever told. The immediate context stems from the disciples’ reaction to what Jesus said to the rich young ruler. Peter, ...read more

    By the fourth century the parable of the unjust manager ..... which we read today ...... and the parable of the prodigal son were separated by ..... a chapter division. If the monks who established those divisions ...... had kept the two parables in the same chapter, ....... The entire history of ...read more

    15. The Kingdom Parables – The Fourth – The Leaven – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 1, 2025
     | 44 views

    This message looks at several comments and opinions and proves that the Parable of the Leaven is that of evil permeating the Church and the world. It brought in a corrupting influence. Leaven is never good! What is the woman, and three measures and the meal in this parable?

    15. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE FOURTH – THE LEAVEN – Part 2 We are doing a series on the Kingdom Parables of Matthew 13 and this message continues the fourth one, the LEAVEN.

    We look into the church at Thyatira in more detail to see how wicked it really was. That church parallels the Parable of the Leaven. It also represents the period of Church History with the development of the Roman Catholic Church that grew out of the Pergamum church.

    16. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE FOURTH – THE LEAVEN – Part 3 NOW WHERE IS THIS PARABLE LEADING US? We have seen in the first three parables of the kingdom that each parable associates itself with one of the churches of Asia Minor to whom John wrote, and also, that each parable associates with ...read more

    Matthew 20:1-16 teaches God's generosity, faith and obedience, letting go of grudges and envy, and working together in God's kingdom. How can we apply this parable to our lives today?

    The goal is to spread the message of Christ and His Church of the will of God to save all human beings. If the authorities are dragging us off to jail it’s hard to fulfill that mission.
