     | 6,133 views

    Is this really about the unjust judge?

    The Parable of the Unjust Judge Luke 18:1-8 Parables are useful stories in that they present simple points. In the case of this parable, one can see the value of persistence.

    Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son teaches us how to treat others: with freemdom to make mistakes, with forgiveness in second chances, and with favor out of unconditional love. God is the perfect Father, showing us all three. (Father's Day message)

    Luke 15:11-32 Parable of the Perfect Father Today’s story is probably my favorite in the Bible. I’ve shared it with you before, but never in the context of Father’s Day. Since the real hero of the story is the father, I thought it might be a good story to look at today. Let’s consider some gifts ...read more
