    28. The Kingdom Parables – The Seventh – The Dragnet – Part 4 Of 6 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 19, 2025
     | 13 views

    Christians can be weak and blind and wear dirty garments when out of touch with the Lord. We look at the Lord’s remedy for these lukewarm, sinful Laodiceans pitifully smug in their church. They thought they were rich but they were wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked.

    28. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE SEVENTH – THE DRAGNET – PART 4 OF 6 The seven Kingdom parables of Matthew 13 are a wonderful study of integration. In all these we have looked at the parable itself to understand it. Then we looked at the parallel church in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 that matches ...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. That is after Christ lived on the earth it also helps us. But it also helps people before us. In fact Jacob would have benefited from ...read more

    When The Kingdom Seems Unimpressive Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 19, 2025
     | 119 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

    An Invitation To A Party Series

    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Aug 21, 2014
     | 13,724 views

    Fourth in this series. The parable of the Weeding Banquet pictures God's invitation to a relationship with Him.

    I don’t know if you’ve ever really thought of in quite this way, but the gospel accounts of Jesus show that He really enjoyed a good party. Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been reading John’s gospel account and there we find that the very first miracle that Jesus ...read more

    Parables Of The Kingdom – The First - The Sower Or Rather The Soil – Part 5 Of 7 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025
     | 188 views

    This time we see the fertile, good soil as the Sower broadcast his seed. This is what everyone wants. Also we see the obligations of sowers, the care of the seed, and how this relates to the gospel. We must never handle the bible deceitfully.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 5 of 7 So far we have covered the first three soils in the Parable of the Sower and in this message we come to the last one. The outcome here is what everyone wants to happen in preaching the gospel, but experience and the ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 13, 2025
     | 59 views

    The second message about the treasure hidden in the field identifies the treasure, and we focus in on the Second Coming. Quite a number of scriptures are drawn together. It is a most interesting Parable.

    18. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 2 of 4 In Part 2 we will expand the meaning of the Parable of the Hidden Treasure and look also at the Second Coming of the Lord. [F]. THE PLACEMENT OF THIS PARABLE IN SCRIPTURE This is most interesting. The Hidden Treasure ...read more

    What Is The Kingdom Like?

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,724 views

    Beyond the self-denial of following Christ, beyond the daily discipline, beyond the cross to be carried, lies the most precious thing, a thing of supreme and unsurpassed beauty: life in the Kingdom, under God and for God and with God!

    When you open the gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark and Luke, it seems that more often that not, Jesus is speaking in some parable. With colourful language, Jesus places things “side by side,” comparing and contrasting, and drawing out from the picture he paints some truth or teaching. Sometimes the ...read more

    It All Starts With A Little Seed

    It is the message and not the messanger.

    It All Starts With a Tiny Seed Mark 4:26-34 When Jesus started to face opposition from grous like the Pharisees and Scribes, He started to address the crowds in parables. The purpose of the parable is twofold. On one hand, it is easy to understand the story as it comes from real life. Jesus used ...read more

    When Being Good Isn't Good Enough Series

    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Aug 21, 2014
     | 9,682 views

    Seventh in this series. The main point of the Parable of the Good Samaritan is that eternal life isn't a matter of what I must do for God bu rather what God has done for me.

    This week as I was preparing for this message I did as I often do after I first spend time with the text itself and looked at some other sermons on this passage just to get a feel for how others handle this parable. And in the process I ran across what seemed to me to be a pretty good sermon on the ...read more

     | 14,656 views

    The Parable of the Lost Sheep reminds us that God is looking for us daily. He chooses us not we him

    Luke 15:1-10 Parable of the Lost Sheep Story: A young man - who had been raised as an atheist – was training to be an Olympic diver. The only religious influence that had ever come into his life was that of an outspoken Christian friend. The young diver never really paid much attention to ...read more

    Knowing The Heart Of The Father Series

     | 7,796 views

    Ninth and final message in this series. The Parable of the Prodigal Son demonstrates that misunderstanding the heart of the Father keeps us from experiencing His mercy.

    This morning we’ll conclude our nine week journey through some of the parables that Jesus told. Before we began this series I thought I had a pretty good handle on these mostly familiar parables. And there is no doubt that much of my previous understanding of these parables has been ...read more

    19. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 3 Of 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2025
     | 58 views

    The Parable of the Hidden Treasure and its true meaning have been considered in the past two messages. Today we examine the church at Sardis and see how strategic that is to the Protestant Reformation. Sardis means “escaping” and that applied to the Reformation.

    19. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 3 of 4 This study continues. We expand on some of the previous material and then open up a study on the church that matches the fifth parable. There is a challenge in looking at that Revelation church. [H].
