Parables of Jesus

Parables of Jesus

Parable of the Ten Minas

Today we will study the parable of the ten minas, a parable told because the Jews believed the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. We will discuss how Jesus is a King in waiting.

Overestimating our Righteousness

We tend to over-estimate our own goodness. That is, we think deep down that we’re really ok people. Self-righteousness is blatantly anti-Jesus. When we overestimate our righteousness, we place ourselves on a god-like pedestal and devalue the nature and death of Jesus.

Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

Today we will discuss the parable of the unforgiving servant and how a refusal to forgive is evidence that you don’t really understand your own sin against God and what it means to have that sin forgiven.

The Prodigal Son, part 2

Today as we look into the story of the prodigal son, we look into the older son’s response. Particularly we will be looking at religious legalism vs the Gospel.
