    Many talk about Jesus or celebrate Jesus, and they like to believe that it assures them of a spot in Heaven. What did Jesus say about this?

    Dr. Bradford Reaves CrossWay Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org As we continue through the parables, I realize that this is one of those parables that has always confounded me. It confounds me not because of the application but because of the theology. Most tried to impose ...read more

    What is it that we all have that is exactly the same? How are we similar? There are a lot of areas where we are different. But how are we all the same?

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Fig Tree) # 16

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,269 views

    The Lord taught many parables. But to fully understand these parables as we study them, we need to examine what motivated Him to teach that particular parable.

    In order to do this, you generally have to read the verses that precede the parable He spoke. For example, following Jesus' comments about the widow giving her two small coins in the temple, He teaches about: • The destruction of the temple • The coming of the end of the age Look at Luke 21: ...read more

    This parable is special, because it tells us a great deal about God the Father’s great love for mankind.

    Now we mortals love certain people, but if there are things in their life that we do not like, we generally brush them aside. We all can be thankful indeed that God the Father loves everyone, He even loves the most ungodly sinner on the face of the earth. He does not love their evil deeds, but He ...read more
