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.
Parable of the Soils – Heart Check
Today we discuss the parable of the soils from Matthew 13. We will look into the 4 different heart conditions that Jesus describes.
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.
The Prodigal Son, part 1
Jesus was a friend of sinners. He received people where they were, so he could take them where they needed to be.
