In Matthew 25 Jesus tells three parables to explain some of the details he gave in Matthew 24 about the end of the world. In the parable of The Ten Virgins he encourages us to wait and be ready for his coming.
Parabolic – The Lost Son
Heard of the Lost Son? Some have called it the crown jewel of Jesus’ parables. As we continue our series on Jesus’ divine stories you should know that the Sunday this is being offered is Last Judgement Sunday. I did this because there are so many people who are fearful of the Last Day.
Halloween 2021
“We spend how much on pet costumes?!” Halloween isn’t what it used to be, but that doesn’t mean it’s a warm fuzzy commercialized American holiday either. There are some pitfalls with the dark day. This Sunday we looked at some of the dangers that you might find as the occult can creep into your trick or treating fun.
Parabolic – The Shrewd Manager
God has given us many things, family and friends might be at the top of that list of gifts. Our finances are a large part of how we relate to the world around us and worship our God. This Sunday we close out our annual stewardship focus – One in Christ – with a look at our finances.
Parabolic – The Two Brothers
When God asks for obedience he wants it right away, not tomorrow. The parable of the Two Sons is an illustration of what the spiritual landscape was in Jesus’ day. The common people, sinners, had fallen away from God. When John the Baptist called them to repentance, they listened. The Jewish leaders said all the right things, but they refused to repent. God’s call to repentance is just as real and urgent today as it was two thousand years ago.
Parabolic – The Workers In The Vineyard
The last shall be first and the first shall be last. That cryptic phrase accurately describes how rewards are given out in the kingdom of heave. This Sunday we look at the parable of the Workers in the Vineyard to see how God rewards us at the end of our lives.
