Kingdom Narrratives Sermon Series

Part 7: His Eyes are on the Road

November 24, 2024 • Pastor Rob Danz • Luke 15:11–24

The parable of the prodigal son is a powerful story that gives us a snapshot of the Kingdom of God. Because of the Lord's love, He will let us go in our rebellion, allowing us to reach the bottom of our lives so we might be humbled and return home as sons and daughters who want to be close to the Father. His eyes are on the road, waiting to welcome us back home regardless of what we have done and where we have been. Pastor Rob Danz taught part 7 of our Kingdom Narratives series on the parables of Jesus.

Part 6: Fallen Among Robbers

October 27, 2024 • Pastor Rob Danz • Luke 10:25–37

Good Samaritans do not go to heaven, only the broken who have been rescued and redeemed by Jesus. This week, we explore the parable of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25-37, where Jesus challenges the heart of a Jewish lawyer. Pastor Rob Danz continues our Kingdom Narratives sermon series with Part 6: Fallen Among Robbers.

Part 5: A Hidden Talent

October 20, 2024 • Pastor Rob Danz • Matthew 25:14–30

Each one of us has been blessed with incredible gifts, relationships, and resources to honor the Lord. One day, we will be held accountable for how we used them. This week, Pastor Rob Danz continued our sermon series "Kingdom Narratives" with Part 4: A Hidden Talent, which explores the parable of the talents from Matthew 25:14-30.

Part 4: Midnight Oil

October 13, 2024 • Pastor Rob Danz • Matthew 25:1–13

In the scriptures, there is a warning that many who believe they are saved may not be. In the parable of the 10 virgins, Jesus emphasizes that simply going through the motions of Christianity will not grant us entry into the eternal Kingdom of God unless our actions are motivated by genuine salvation, demonstrated by the presence of the Holy Spirit, living in anticipation of His return. Pastor Rob Danz teaches from Matthew 25:1-13.

Part 3: Treasure

September 22, 2024 • Pastor Rob Danz • Matthew 13:44–46

What we value the most will always direct and define our lives. In Matthew 13:44-46, Jesus tells a powerful story to show us what His kingdom is like. The story reveals the overwhelming worth of the Kingdom of Heaven. When we see it for its worth, we can joyfully let go of all the things in this world. Pastor Rob continues our Kingdom Narratives sermon series with part 3: Treasure. As we study the parables of Jesus, we challenge ourselves to three things: * Look Upward: What does the parable teach us about the Lord and His Kingdom? * Look Inward: What does it reveal about us? * Respond Forward: How can we respond in obedience?

Part 2: An Unforgiving Story

September 15, 2024 • Pastor Rob Danz • Matthew 18:23–35

How big of a deal is forgiveness to Jesus? Unforgiveness in our hearts can be a significant red flag that indicates we are not walking in the fullness of our forgiveness from Jesus or that we never really knew it. This week, Pastor Rob led us through the parable of the unforgiving servant found in Matthew 18:23-35. God's forgiveness is so immense that it demands the complete eradication of all unforgiveness from the hearts of those who have received it. As we study the parables of Jesus, we challenge ourselves to three things: * Look Upward: What does the parable teach us about the Lord and His Kingdom? * Look Inward: What does it reveal about us? * Respond Forward: How can we respond in obedience?

Part 1: Built on the Rock

September 8, 2024 • Pastor Rob Danz • Matthew 7:24–27

Our new series, titled "Kingdom Narratives," walks through the amazing stories of Jesus given to us in parables. Jesus spoke in parables to provide us with snapshots of everyday life that illustrate the truths about God’s kingdom. Week 1 was based on Matthew 7:24-27 and the parable of the man who builds his house on the rock. Building our house on the rock of Christ is based on obedience to Jesus and His Kingdom. As we study the parables of Jesus, we challenge ourselves to three things: * Look Upward: What does the parable teach us about the Lord and His Kingdom? * Look Inward: What does it reveal about us? * Respond Forward: How can we respond in obedience?
