Message 5

R.C. Sproul

If your house was burning down, what items would you try and save? Answering this question teaches us a lot about what we value. In the fifth part of this series, R.C. Sproul shares two short parables in which Jesus challenges us about what we truly value.

Introduction

R.C. Sproul

He was the greatest teacher who ever walked the face of the earth. People would gather from far and wide to hear Him teach and listen to His parables. But what is a parable and why did Jesus use them? In the first part of this series, R.C. Sproul answers these questions and prepares us for his tour through eleven of Jesus' famous stories.

The Parable of the Unjust Judge

R.C. Sproul

What can we learn about God and prayer from the story of an unjust judge? In the second part of this series, R.C. Sproul explores the role of persistence in prayer and Jesus' encouragement for us not to faint in times of trouble.

Parable of the Rich Fool

R.C. Sproul

No one likes to be called a fool. But in this hard-hitting parable, God calls a certain rich man just that. In the third part of this series, R.C. Sproul explains why this wealthy and prosperous farmer was foolish and the important lesson it teaches all of us today.
