- Sep 4, 2016The Rich Man and the Beggar
The Rich Man and the BeggarToo late. Those words can be so frustrating. God wants desperately for those words not to apply to our spiritual lives. He warns us again and again to be ready. He tries throughout scripture to bring His people into a closer relationship with Him. In this parable, Jesus tells us what can happen if we ignore that warning. Don't wait; get ready!

- Jul 24, 2016Count the Cost
Count the CostIn the Parable of the Tower, Jesus makes the point that a builder would not begin a tower without first considering the cost. Although there are blessings in following Jesus, it is not always an easy path. What will that commitment cost?
- Jul 10, 2016The Two Sons
The Two SonsAs Christians, we sometimes know the right answers and say the right things. One of the sons in this parable is a lot like that. As Jesus points out, the right answers do not count for much if our actions do not match up.
- Jul 3, 2016The Wedding Banquet
The Wedding BanquetThe king planned an amazing banquet for the wedding of his son. He invited many, but they refused to come. How doe people respond today to the invitation of God? Are we ready?
- Jun 5, 2016The Good Samaritan
The Good SamaritanIt's very easy sometimes to let stereotypes get in the way of how we see people. If someone in the first century heard this cast of characters--a Priest, a Levite, a Samaritan--they might already have in mind who the hero and villain of the story might be. Jesus challenges our judgment and challenges how we see others and who we should be.
- May 29, 2016Lost and Found
Lost and FoundIn Luke 15, we find three parables of things that were lost and later found, and we learn something very important about God. He wants desperately to find the lost, and he wants to restore a relationship with them.
