Sadly, in the time of Jesus, those who had the Scriptures and claimed to be the most devoted to God were the very ones who ridiculed, mocked, and rejected Christ above all others. This passage shows the religious leaders treating Jesus with contempt and ridicule. Our Savior responded by rebuking them in love and pointing them to the validity of God's law and the wonderful truth of the gospel. Scri...

The parable of the prodigal son is likely the most well-known of Jesus' parables, but it is really a story about two prodigal sons. We learn here that Christ has come to seek and to save the lost, and He saves not only the rank sinner, but also the self-righteous sinner. In this first sermon, we will focus on the first of the two prodigal sons and see how God is a compassionate Father who runs to...

Are sinners welcome in your circle of relationships? Are you passionate in seeking the lost, as Christ is? Are you sharing God's heart of joy when one sinner repents?

The parable of the great banquet is one of the more tragic parables of Christ. Why? Because it is delivered to Jewish people who think they are headed for the kingdom of heaven, yet it is meant to reveal their lostness because of their love for the things of this world. But the parable ends with a message of hope. The Marriage Feast of the Lamb will be served to the broken, the needy, the poor, th...

One of the greatest challenges Christians faith is living out what we say we believe. We know well the path of obedience, but there is very little “margin” in our lives because we employ every bit of every resource we have. So are we prepared to help people in need when we meet them?
