    Jesus tells us that there is nothing more important than finding things that are lost. More than anything lost things matter to God.

    “Lost and Found” Luke 15: 11-31 The boss of a large company was having some problems with one of his computers and he needed to call one of his employees one evening at home. He dialed the number and he was greeted with a child’s voice speaking very softly. The boss said, is your daddy home? He ...read more

    Wait a minute! No, this is not about "15 minutes of fame". It’s about "sowing and reaping" longterm. It’s not "The Farmer wants a wife". It’s the FARMER WANTS A CROP. Jesus may have achieved CELEBRITY STATUS but He is not interested in walking out on the

    The Bible says if we don't understand this parable we will not know any of the other teachings of Jesus

    “And again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea. Then He taught them many things by parables, and said to them in His teaching.” I have been ...read more

    Thy Kingdom Come Series

    Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Mar 8, 2020
     | 2,667 views

    When we pray "Thy Kingdom come", what do we mean by this? Jesus spends much time teaching on the kingdom that is to come and how we can be involved in it. In order to understand your role in the kingdom, we must first understand what the "Kingdom" is.

    What are we saying when we pray, “Thy kingdom come”? 1. “I know this world’s system is not your kingdom.” JOHN 18:36 2. “I know you have a greater kingdom.” LUKE 17:21 3. “I know that your purposes are eternal.” MATTHEW 6:33 4. “I know I must resist the temptation to live for the here and ...read more

    Can we truly understand the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven? If we can, how do we do so?

    1. If we are going to live for God’s Kingdom, it is essential that we learn a new way of thinking. 13:11. 2. Truths regarding God’s Kingdom will only be learned by people who have a desire to know them. 10-11. 3. The more you are willing to learn the truths of God’s Kingdom, the more God will ...read more

    Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A-- 15th Sunday, Year A --The Sower

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2020

    It is the intuitive mind alone that can penetrate the essence and heart of a parable. Then it becomes a living reality, thoroughly relevant to one’s own life.

    “To throw alongside” a story with cryptic meaning is called a parable in Greek. In Zen Buddhism, a parable is like a “koan,” which is a spiritual inquiry using perplexing language intended to rouse a student’s innate wisdom-mind to apply it to their own life. As Rabbi Ibn Ezra said of parables, ...read more

    At times, we all feel like we are misunderstood. And many times it is not a feeling, it is a reality.

    For example, sometimes our dogs misunderstand some things about us.

    Look at 14:1 “And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, THAT THEY WATCHED HIM.”

    It is not hard for any of us to imagine how this took place in Luke 14:1. The Bible says He went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees. WHY DID HE GO THERE? Remember the Son of God became flesh as we are, and the Bible says He went into the Chief Pharisees house “…To eat bread on the ...read more

    Can The Church Be An Obstacle To Discipleship For Jesus?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021
     | 902 views

    Is it possible that some of the doctrine, rules, and regulations of the church be a stumbling block to becoming a disciple for Jesus? Yes, it was definitely one for me and I still struggle with it.

    {You may want to read Mark 4:1-9, This is the actual parable that I am speaking about. } [Why parables?] 10 As soon as He was alone, 1 His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables. 11 And He was saying to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom ...read more

    You must learn the language and literary method that the people in Jesus used if you truly want to understand the Scripture. Hillel's method of asking questions is the optimal way.

    Near Eastern people in Yeshua's (and later on) wrote in allegories, metaphors, and parables. Is this healing story real? In the minds of Near Eastern people, it does not matter. The lesson of the story is the key. The lesson is that everyone must open their eyes to reading the Torah and live ...read more
