Jesus Loves Sinners Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

| 3,847 views

Jesus is the shepherd who loves the sheep whose performance is the worst. He loves in spite of your poor obedience, your poor performance. No one has been more inclusive of sinners than Jesus.

Jesus tells us three stories that arrives at a climax with a return of a son to his family and his father. These three stories, finding a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son, form a pyramid where the three show us the same truth but each side shows a different shade and nuance to God’s love. ...read more

Today we hear Jesus say to Zacchaeus "Today salvation has come to this house". What did Zacchaeus have to do in order to hear this?. What is required for us to be saved?

Introductory Considerations 1. When I was a child, one of favourite stories was story of Zacchaeus was one of my favourites. Maybe because as a child everyone seemed taller than me as they did for Zacchaeus. Maybe because of the happy ending to story. 2. This story teaches us much about what we ...read more

Too Full Of Yourself? Or Weighed Down By Shame?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Feb 21, 2013

| 3,724 views

A short talk given at a baptism service. If we’re too full of ourselves then God desires humility. If we’re weighed down by sin, by shame, by guilt, and if we can pray, "God have mercy on me a sinner", God will restore us and lift us up.

Jesus told lots of challenging stories; and in the Church we tend to calls his stories parables. But why did Jesus use stories, parables, to communicate truth to his 1st century audience? Well, he used parables to paint a picture with a punchy, poignant, pertinent point. His pithy parables packed a ...read more

There is an element of test in Peter’s condition, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” Peter asking Jesus “to command” him suggests the alignment of Peter’s will with the will of the Lord.
